The Seven Best Video Website for ELT Students - Kieran Donaghy
As part of the launch of the website I’m organising a prize draw for my new book Film in Action. Everybody who subscribes to the website in the months of February and March will be entered into the draw. The Internet now offers students the opportunity to improve their lexical, listening and speaking skills through watching short film clips, videos and short films. Here are my seven favourite sites. English Central Possibly the best website for students to improve their vocabulary, listening, speaking and pronunciation. English Attack A aimed specifically at young students which uses clips from movies and TV series; music videos, themed visual glossaries; learning games and social networking to help language learners improve their English. Learn English Teens Film UK A British Council website which gives students the opportunity to watch innovative short films made by young people, and do a variety of activities designed around the films.

Setting ESL Class Objectives - ESL Teaching Objectives Meeting Students Learning Needs
Setting ESL Objectives People learn English for many and extremely varied reasons. Taking these reasons, as well as language acquisition needs, into consideration when planning a class or individual instruction is crucial for a successful learning experience. This is probably as important for the student as for the teacher. When a student understands his/her reasons for learning English well, he can then better plan his learning strategy. In the classroom, he/she can help the teacher identify needs and desires. Let's take a look at two of the more common reasons for learning English and what might work well for achieving learning goals. Goal One: I'd like to improve my English in order to find a better job. In this case, it is important to ask yourself the questions: Will a certificate help the chances of getting a job? Details and Considerations for Each Question: Point 2: If job specific English is required, tasks should be more real-world orientated. Conclusions
Student Instructions For How They Can Create A Cloze (Gap-Fill)
I use clozes often – both with English Language Learners and with proficient English speakers. They’re excellent formative assessments of vocabulary comprehension and can promote metacognition if combined, as I always do, with pushing students to identify the “clue words” they use to fill-in the blanks. Clozes can come in many forms, including like the one in the photo at the top of this post. It’s also an option to put a “word bank” of answers at the top or bottom of the cloze, along with putting the first letters of each answer at the beginning of each blank, putting a blank for each letter as another form of clue, and the list of possibilities goes on-and-on. In my opinion, the absolute best use of clozes is having students create their own after they develop enough experience completing teacher-provided ones. • Pick a passage related to one of the chapters we have studied in this unit and seems interesting. • Copy and paste it again on another Word document.
