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.

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…

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

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.

Body writing

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

1 Jun 2011

This idea works well in pairs.  Model in front of the class first. 

 

1. Write numbers or letters on the back of a student/classmate by using your finger.

2. The classmate guesses the number/letter.

3. Make it more advanced. Larger numbers / words. 

 

You can also do a variation of this by doing the same on the palm of the person. 

 

Really "visceral" and kinesthetic way of teaching basic content. …
