Listen and Write - Dictation Film Education | Home 5 word formation games for FCE and CAE students In this post, I am presenting 5 games that help students recognize and form different parts of speech. They are especially useful for students preparing for Cambridge exams (First and Advanced). I have been using these activities to revise and practice vocabulary and to offer some alternatives to typical Use of English exercises. Note: Even though these games serve mainly for revision purposes, I try to include some follow-up activities where the target words from each game are used in context (using the words in sentences, creating a dialogue, asking questions containing the target words, exam-type exercises, etc.) #1 Word Formation Maze The maze is perfect for revising suffixes and prefixes. Word Formation Maze_student Word Formation Maze_key #2 Building Blocks I got the idea for this activity after stumbling upon this one.

The “Best” TED Talks (Well, Really, The Ones I Use With My Classes) I’ve written several posts about TED Talks, the series of talks given by “big thinkers” that are available online. In fact, I’ve created The Best Teacher Resources For “TED Talks.” Yesterday, I saw that Richard Byrne posted an excellent piece, 15 TED Talks for Teachers to Watch Before 2010. I’d strongly encourage you to visit that post and, in addition, subscribe to his blog if you haven’t done so already. Richard’s post inspired me to make a post sharing the TED Talks that I use with my classes (though I may not necessarily show the entire talk in class) and how I use them. Please share in the comments section which TED videos you actually use in the classroom. Here are my choices for The “Best” TED Talks (Well, Really, The Ones I Use With My Classes): I’ve had my Theory of Knowledge (TOK) students watch the Ted Talks “The Raspyni Brothers juggle and jest” and Lennart Green does close-up card magic. I’ve used Joachim de Posada says, Don’t eat the marshmallow yet with all my classes.
