Gender Studies | 25 Teenagers Recommend Readings for Women’s History Month In honor of Women’s History Month, we asked our spring Student Council — 25 teenagers from all over the United States, as well as from China, South Korea, England and Canada — to search the Times and find the most interesting pieces they could on the broad topic of gender. Using both Times search and Times Machine, they unearthed everything from a 1911 report on the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire and a 1972 Times review of “Free to Be … You and Me” to current articles, videos and essays on Hillary Clinton, campus rape debates, gender pronouns, abortion, Title IX, parenting, and the struggles of the transgender community. As your students skim the selections below, they might choose the two or three articles that interest them most, then answer some of these questions: What do these pieces have in common? What patterns do you notice?What do they say about the lives and roles of women and girls? Margaret Atkinson-Barnes, Sag Harbor, N.Y., on “Ana’s Story: Transgender in Cuba” (2014) Video

Engelska A Tidsformer (tempus) presens (nutid) imperfekt/preteritum (dåtid, igår gick) perfekt (har+verb) pluskvamperfekt (hade+verb) futurum (framtid, ska göra) Regelbundna och oregelbundna verb De regelbundna verben slutar på -ed i imperfekt ex: I have talked to him and helped him. De oregelbundna verben ändrar sig "hursomhelst", ex: I bought a car and went over to his house. Grundform och "ta tema på.." När man tar tema på ett oregelbundet verb börjar man med grundformen: eat sedan lägger man till imperfektformen: ate och så slutligen perfekt particip (som används för att bilda perfekt och pluskvamperfekt):eaten Hjälpverb och huvudverb Jag ska köpa en bil. GT - inget att vifta bort - Mia Smith Många lärare viftar bort digitala verktyg som automatöversättningsverktyg och digitala ordböcker, kanske av okunskap, kanske av rädsla. Men eleverna använder Google Translate oavsett vad vi säger, och att använda verktygen på rätt sätt är en språklig strategi på samma som som att använda en ordbok eller omformulera sina tankar med andra ord. Men hur fungerar det egentligen? Vad ska man tänka på för att inte falla i de fällor som faktiskt finns? Vill du lära dig mer om hur Google Translate fungerar? Nej, det här är inget reklaminlägg. Har du elever som är nyfikna på hur vi går vidare?
TurboEnglish - Getting It Right! - engelsk grammatik Wikispaces was founded in 2005 and has since been used by educators, companies and individuals across the globe. Unfortunately, the time has come where we have had to make the difficult business decision to end the Wikispaces service. We first announced the site closure in January 2018, through a site-wide banner that appeared to all logged-in users and needed to be clicked on to dismiss During the closure period a range of banners were shown to users, including a countdown banner in the final month. Additionally, the home page of Wikispaces.com became a blog, detailing the reasons for the closure. Private Label Site Administrators were contacted separately regarding the closure Why has Wikispaces closed? Approximately 18 months ago, we completed a technical review of the infrastructure and software we used to serve Wikispaces users.
Native English-speaking teachers: always the right choice? There are perceptions that native speakers of English make better English language teachers. Marek Kiczkowiak Opens in a new tab or window., winner of the British Council’s Teaching English blog award, argues that those perceptions need to change. Have you looked for an English teaching job recently? Up to 70 per cent of all jobs advertised on tefl.com – the biggest job search engine for English teachers – are for NESTs (yes, I have counted). If you start questioning these practices, you are likely to hear one or all of the following excuses: 1. While it is beyond the scope of this short article to fully debunk all the above, I would like to briefly outline here why these arguments are flawed. 1: The first argument gets repeated like a mantra and has become so deeply ingrained that few attempt to question its validity. 2: On the second point, I believe it's a myth Opens in a new tab or window. that only NESTs can provide a good language model.
English online grammar exercises Household stuff: Great tools for teaching... grammar! Part 3 Hi everyone! Welcome back to my series about using household stuff for teaching English as a foreign language! Today's item is DRINKING STRAWS €1 (100 pcs) PURPOSE: I used drinking straws to check my students' comprehension of COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE "FOOD & DRINKS" NOUNS. WHAT I DID BEFORE CLASS: - I printed out this template and I wrote down a food noun in each glass, then I cut each glass out. - I stuck two sheets of paper on the desk: WHAT I DID IN CLASS: After teaching a bunch of COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE "FOOD & DRINKS" NOUNS I told my students they were going to play a game and I showed them the drinking straws. WHAT MY STUDENTS DID: All students stood up around the table and I told them the rules of the game. Students took turns to blow into their drinking straw in order to make the "paper" glasses move towards/onto the right sheet. They got one point for each right word and lost one point for each wrong one. Until the next item ;-)
Some Things Never Change, or Do They? | Elisabeth Horn However hard you try, there are some things one can’t get around in learning a language and in English (and German and Swedish…) one of those would be learning the irregular verbs by heart. You can group them in categories, play around with flashcards and you would still eventually face the fact that these things really are illogical (even though there may be good historic and etymological reasons for them being the way they are) and the most sensible decision you can make is simply to learn them verb by verb the old-fashioned way. There are, however, things we teachers can do to ease the students’ pain of having the whole list to learn all at once. One pretty common method is to give students ten verbs to learn for every lesson and then to quiz them on those every time, which I think makes the whole thing less dramatic and not too strenuous for most students. Pretty early on in my teacher career, I realised that this particular piecemeal of system didn’t work for me.
