Listening to students' spoken language | ETp I was flicking through John Hughes’s new book ETpedia, which aims to provide English teachers with 1,000 teaching ideas, and was pleased to see some very useful teaching ideas listed under user-friendly page headers like ’10 ideas to add variety to a reading lesson’, ’10 sources of listening material’, ’10 activities using the objects around you’, and ’10 activities for the topic of food’. But the page that caught my attention was ’10 ways to correct a spoken mistake’. While keeping it simple and easily understandable, this page was able to summarise the main issues and techniques related to correcting spoken language that we try so hard on teacher training courses like the CELTA to convey to trainees. Hughes states: “If you are presenting a new language item and you ask a student to produce a sentence with it in and they make a mistake, then it's clearly the right moment to correct the error. - Should I interrupt the students in full flow and point out the error now or do it later? 1. 2.

Cette idée est née car je souhaitais amener ma classe voir l'exposition itinérante dédiée à l'oeuvre de Tim Burton et actuellement à la cinémathèque de Paris. J'y suis allé en amont et n'ai pas trouvé de véritable intérêt pédagogique pour y amener une classe, les visites de groupes avec guide étant toutes complètes jusqu'à la fin de l'année. J'ai cependant pu rapporter du matériel authentique qui servirait alors dans le cadre de cette séquence. Pour remettre la classe dans son contexte, quelques informations préalables sont nécessaires. - Par ailleurs, les élèves ont été sensibilisés tout au long de l'année par des activités "théâtre en anglais" au fait de jouer un texte en prenant les accents nécessaires à son interprétation. Voilà!
25 maps that explain the English language English is the language of Shakespeare and the language of Chaucer. It’s spoken in dozens of countries around the world, from the United States to a tiny island named Tristan da Cunha. It reflects the influences of centuries of international exchange, including conquest and colonization, from the Vikings through the 21st century. Here are 25 maps and charts that explain how English got started and evolved into the differently accented languages spoken today. The origins of English 1) Where English comes from English, like more than 400 other languages, is part of the Indo-European language family, sharing common roots not just with German and French but with Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, and Persian. 2) Where Indo-European languages are spoken in Europe today Saying that English is Indo-European, though, doesn’t really narrow it down much. 3) The Anglo-Saxon migration 4) The Danelaw The next source of English was Old Norse. 5)The Norman Conquest 6) The Great Vowel Shift The spread of English Credits
It’s so unfair! Book 2 Situation 2 - Enjoy 3ème - Le blog de jespeaklenglish Mercredi 21 novembre 2012 3 21 /11 /Nov /2012 14:54 Il n'est pas toujours facile de varier les tâches d'écoute à proposer aux élèves. Celle-ci fonctionne plutôt très bien donc je vous la propose: elle concerne les dialogues de début de séquence de Enjoy 3ème "It's so unfair". Chaque dialogue donne lieu à une tâche d'écoute différente et permet à tous les élèves d'y trouver leurs comptes. Je m'arrange pour interroger les plus faibles sur les tâches d'écoute les plus faciles et je laisse les exercices plus complexes aux meilleurs.

Scuola, compattare l'orario... si può! Sperimentando una delle idee del Movimento delle Avanguardie Educative Stefania Chipa e Lorenza Orlandini - La Compattazione del calendario scolastico è una delle idee delle Avanguardie educative che a Novembre 2014, quando è stato lanciato il Movimento, ha destato timidi interessi; ma poi, nel corso dell’anno, ha raccolto molte adesioni da parte delle scuole adottanti. Partita con 3 scuole capofila - l’IIS "Luca Pacioli" di Crema (CR), il Liceo Linguistico e Istituto Tecnico Economico statale "Marco Polo" di Bari e l’IISS "Ettore Majorana" di Brindisi -, adesso conta 25 scuole che, da settembre 2015, sperimenteranno questa nuova organizzazione del tempo scolastico. Certamente il primo effetto derivante dall’introduzione della compattazione è lo scardinamento dell’organizzazione temporale della giornata scolastica e, per questa ragione, richiede una grande attenzione nella progettazione dell’orario; a cascata, però, interessa tutte le dimensioni che fanno parte della scuola.

Ripetizioni gratis: nasce in Toscana il 1° social network per gli studenti Ricomincia la scuola e torna il dramma della fisica, della matematica, del greco antico? Ogni anno decine di migliaia di studenti sono costretti a far investire alle famiglie consistenti somme di denaro in ripetizioni scolastiche, torna lo spettro dei debiti formativi, dei voti bassi, delle vacanze accorciate per studiare (o almeno dello spauracchio, che poi si passino davvero sui libri è da vedere…), ma intanto i soldi per le lezioni sono stati spesi, e i libri sono sempre più cari, e far tornare i conti è ogni mese più dura. Ma da quest'anno c'è un social network che promette di risolvere il problema (o almeno di alleviarne il peso), si tratta di Teach4Learn: la piattaforma ideata da un gruppo di ragazzi toscani dove chiunque può iscriversi gratuitamente mettendo a disposizione le proprie conoscenze in cambio di una o più ore di lezione. Sul sito si contano già 8932 utenti, 536 discipline e 76 guide.
