Basic rules of this hopefully a little useful and enjoyable project are as folows: 1. Thank you. Points to bear in mind when sharing an activity (please read as they are important for the original idea of the project – thanks Michael Griffin for these): * Activities are ideally generalized enough to various contexts and teaching situations. FlashmobELT. Here is one of my favourite activities to practise writing stories (an important exam skill and just a fun thing to do!)

flashmobELT

: Each student has a slip of paper and needs to write the first sentence of the sory. Two rules: it should something more exciting than "Once upon a time... " - something dramatic or unusual or funny, and it has to introduce the main hero (so "it was a lovely Saturday evening" won't go either). It could be something like, "When Linda saw a strange figure limping towards her in the dark alley, she realized she had left her chainsaw at home that day. " or "Humphrey Bumblebee never liked cucumbers, especially the red ones". Teens come up with most unexpected and brilliant stuff! Then they pass the paper to the next person, who reads the sentence and writes down one word they want to be used in the story. Then they pass it on to the next person, who adds one more word, etc.

Web 2.0 Toolkit for Teaching and Learning EFL Presentation Skill. * * * On the Internet * * * Vance Stevens UAE Naval College, HCT, CERT, Abu Dhabi vancestev gmail.com Abstract At the college where the author recently taught, each student has a laptop computer, which creates learning opportunities for the students but presents challenges in keeping them on task.

Web 2.0 Toolkit for Teaching and Learning EFL Presentation Skill

The author designed a task-based course introducing a series of Web 2.0 tools that the students used to develop the speaking communications skills they were learning. Introduction I was recently tasked with designing an academic presentations course for teenaged EFL students at a military college in the UAE. When I arrived at the college, teachers in many courses had complained about the distractions caused by Internet access, but the problem was especially acute for the civilian English teachers. Although the highly experienced teachers at the college had many strategies for engaging students, many relied on strategies that kept the students off the computers.
