First Day : getting to know my students I’ve been teaching for a long, loooong time and one might expect I don’t have to suffer from first-class stress . But I’ve come to terms with myself and admitted that no matter how long I’ve been in the business , it is always going to feel like having a bull ( past the butterfly feeling) in my stomach. So again, I’m hunting books ,posts, and the Internet for ideas to use on the first day to get to know my students and to give them the first chance to use the language. By the way, these are the ones I used last year if you want to have a look ♥Interviewing your partner: Tell students they are going to interview four or five people they don’t know in the class. ♥Get to Know you Bingo: this one requires a bit of preparation but it’s not like you are already loaded with exams , is it? I would , of course, encourage follow-up questions when checking, with the students providing the questions- of course. ♥Who Am I..? ♥Five Questions.

Using music and songs Using music and songs Submitted by admin on 7 October, 2011 - 07:58 Music can play a really important part in the language classroom. It can change the atmosphere in the room within seconds. Songs sung in English are listened to around the world and students can often feel real progress in their level of English when they can begin to sing along to the chorus or even just to be able to separate what at first seemed to be a constant stream of words! Before bringing music into the class, it may be worthwhile to do a music survey or questionnaire to find out what the students enjoy listening to. Using music Music in the classroom doesn’t always mean listening to a song and using the lyrics in some way. Set the scene: If music is playing as students enter the class it can be a nice way to settle the group. Using songs Songs provide a valuable source of authentic language and there are hundreds of ways to exploit them in the classroom. By Jo Budden
