Dictagloss

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

4 Jan 2011

Dictagloss is an activity that works with many short texts/passages. I've used it over the years and it seems to motivate and "work" because there is a built in task -- the task of reconstructing the original text.

1.Let students listen to you or a higher level student read a selected text or story. (don't make it too long, depends on the level but I'd say no more than…

In: Beginner| False Beginner| Intermediate| Middle School| Recipe

8 Dec 2010
This is a ridiculously effective listening lesson for low to mid-range students.  3rd grade upper level middle school tends to buck against it though some of them enjoy it.  May be too easy for them.  The two youtube clips are below. Clear the desks.  All of them.  Make sure the whole room is nothing but a big dance floor. Start by writing all the significant terms on the board.  To the Left…

Exposing students to a wide range of accents of both native and second language speakers is a recipe that must be cooked up for intermediate and advanced learners.

lipsThis is an excellent activity for students to gain awareness of pragmatical competency and pronunciation problems they may have.

In pairs, students silently "mouth" very slowly, the questions from a handout. Simple questions. Go here for many lists - use the simple ones like "Favorites" or "Getting to know you".   The other student responds with one or two simple sentences.

Students see if…

Then the second student must draw a picture of what he or she heard, and show it to the third student. The third student, then, writes the word that represents the picture and shows it to the fourth student…
