Duolingo is an easy way to engage students -- especially if they use Google Translate with the program

Some of our students decided to take charge of the class.

Maria Montessori said that "The students are learning and acting as if I don't exist."   That's the ideal.  Let the students lead.

One of my students asked to practice English with Duolingo in class.   It was fun to work with the students to beat the test.  "What's the answer, teacher?"  was the first question, but then the students asked, "Help me with this question."
