Kort är gott Jag är ett stort fan av kortfilmer, likväl som jag alltid tyckt om short stories, dvs noveller istället för romaner. En novell kan ibland på endast cirka tio sidor berätta lika mycket som en roman på 300 sidor.

Fortsatte med henne ett bra tag innan E. Använder kortfilmer mycket i engelskan, ibland som grund för ett tema, men lika ofta som diskussionsunderlag.

Teaching Listening Skills: Ready to Listen, Ready to Learn Most children come to school armed with only one way to learn – listening. Almost all of us were born doing it. Indeed, for the first few years of formal education, listening is an integral part of teaching. But something happens around first and second grade, when students learn to read. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with silent reading. We spend 65-90% of our time listening and yet it’s a skill that is almost entirely overlooked in the K12 classroom. The new Common Core standards have recognized the importance of this skill. Meta Strategies How do you improve listening? There is no accurate instrument to measure listening in your first language, according to Janusik. Tell a Good Story If you tell a good story, people listen better.
