TEACHER READING
In this article, I am reaching out directly to my colleagues – language teachers from around the world – to have a conversation about what motivates us. As language educators, we have many unique collective features that bind us together and forge among us a distinct identity. To demonstrate my point, I invite you to take a moment to look inward, reflect, and think about your own personal and professional experience in five different scenarios.

TEACHER SHARE
Another great share from the one and only Elke!

= = = = = = = GAME:
What's this? GAMETIME!
Practice vocabulary and pronunciation.
For our "health" topic I practiced body parts with my beginner and intermediate
students (Ventures 1, p. 51 has a good picture, add more if appropriate.
My Ss liked "fingernail" a lot :)
Pre-game:
* practice pronunciation of body parts with drills
* practice pronunciation of "What's this?" and "your" - difficult to
pronounce for student (also good for intermediate students)
* practice "left" and "right"
Game:
* form one big circle
A) T stands in the middle, points to different body parts and asks:
"What's this?"
All Ss say "your... (the body part)
After a few times, Ss take turns standing in the middle and giving orders, one by one.
B) Same set up.
T models in the middle of the circle first.
T says: "Touch your left foot." (Touch your right elbow. Touch your nose etc)
Ss take turns being in the middle.
Once students understand, form two smaller circles and play.
We had a LOT of fun.
Post-game:
Outside of class add-on: Ask Ss to play this with their kids or family members.
Mine did and reported back they enjoyed it.
Also: Play in class and give students the link to the "What's this?" song from
A Nightmare Before Christmas - they can sing along and learn to say it :)

TECH TIPS
Ten Overlooked Google Docs Features
Like Google Slides, Google Docs has a lot of features that new users often don't notice. Some these are features that even experienced Google Docs users overlook. Some of these features will save you time, some will give you more formatting flexibility, and others will improve the way that you share your documents.

Depending on the presenter, it is sometimes nice to invite listeners to actively participate in the presentation with ongoing questions and comments. Not everyone likes this--it is an interruption.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I like to do is require a follow-up question from each student (if it isn't a big class). This keeps them a little bit more attentive.
The presenter can also prepare a few comprehension questions ahead of time and give them to the audience. True/false statements work well--there isn't much to write. This way the students can listen for the answers.
