Story Chains

In: Advanced| All types| Intermediate| Recipe

23 May 2012
Story chains are simple ways to keep students telling a story. Start a story and then students keep adding lines to continue. They can even be done with only words, students relating words to other words through association. One higher level example is using the Zen story about the lucky farmer. Start by telling the story like this -

There is a…

Everyone loves movies! This is a great idea and a great way to have a very light but powerful lesson. 1.   Write some names of movies on the board.    Then give students 4 hints about one movie.  See if they can guess. Continue until all are off the board. 2.  Students have 2 minutes to think of all the movie titles possible. One person is…

Forgotten

In: Advanced| Beginner| False Beginner| High School| Intermediate| Recipe| University

19 May 2012
This is an excellent video to study places in a house. As the video plays, you can have students note the places in the house.  Check by replaying.  Ask the students how the place has changed, what was happening in the room and what is happening now. Lots of critical thinking embedded in this simple video. Find more videos like this on EFL CLASSROOM 2.0

How to do something

In: Advanced| Elementary| High School| Intermediate| Middle School| Recipe| University

5 May 2012

This is a real recipe!   Students use English for a real purpose, explaining to a partner or fellow group members, how to do something. 

I usually start listing numbers on the board and writing a title - How to .................  

I ask students to explain the steps of how to do some simple activity.  ie. tie your shoe, boil an egg, get money from a bank machine, mail a letter…

30 Apr 2011
It would be great to get students working in teams to write up a dialogue for this cool google doodle video a la Charlie Chaplin. Then play the video as students read out/perform their dialogue.

Language Area!

In: Advanced| All Ages & Levels| Beginner| False Beginner| Intermediate| Recipe

25 Mar 2011

Sometimes it is really difficult to avoid students talk in their mother tongue, so usually I choose a corner of the whiteboard and draw a small circle and write Portuguese Area. So if a students want to say anything that he/she can't say in English he/she has to stand up and go to the Portuguese Area. This is interesting because students don't want to stand up all the time in…

11 Feb 2011

Overview:

A simple but fun quick-fire game to liven up a class or as a reward in the final segment of a language lesson.  A student comes to the front of the class, the students choose a topic (for example, 'Your last holiday', 'Your favourite food' etc), then the class fire questions to the student.  The student has to answer the questions but cannot say the words either 'YES' or 'NO'. …
