Run To You Chant

In: Adults| High School| Intermediate| Middle School| University

I had a nice time in a teacher training session with this video chant commercial. Just play and stop between the parts of the man/woman.  Divide the class in half with the woman / men repeating the line each time you stop. Then, play again but shut off the video audio and get students to do the same using the handout / transcript. Lots of fun! Download worksheet

A Video Lesson

In: All Ages & Levels| High School| Intermediate| Middle School| Recipe

31 May 2012

One great recipe is to play a video with vocabulary content. Not flashcards but something real and beautiful.  Then, students either write or speak or brainstorm all the vocabulary from the video in the specific category you mention. 

An example is the video Forgotten. Play and get students to list all the places in the house. Then play again, pausing and eliciting the parts of the house.

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…

Classroom labeling

In: Beginner| Elementary| False Beginner| High School| Intermediate| Kindergarten| Middle School| Recipe

23 Jul 2011

This is a great idea for the start of the year. 

Give each group of students some card board strips of paper. Also some tape. 

Students brainstorm the names of all things in the classroom (in English!). 

Then, ask them to go tape the names up around the classroom. First come, first server.

After, take up the names. Student will learn the words over time, as they see them in class and use them. 

Next…

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.

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'. …
