Oral presentation

Melissa: Hi, everyone! Today I would like to talk about how to become the most popular teen in school. Firstly, I think getting good academic results is the first factor to make you become popular since, having a good academic result, your teacher will award you in front of your schoolmates. Then, your schoolmates will know who you are and maybe they would like to get to know you because they want to learn something good from you. Secondly, I think participating in school clubs and student unions can help to make you become popular, since after participating in these school clubs or student union, people will know who you are and it can help you to make friends all around the school, no matter senior forms or junior forms. In conclusion, I think to become the most popular teen in school we need to have good academic results and also participate in school clubs and student union. Kelvin: Good evening, everyone! But, should the government make it illegal? Related:  speaking

Where Children Sleep photographs from around the world | Daily Mail Online Photographer James Mollison travelled around the world to capture children's bedrooms The project, Where Children Sleep is set to highlight children's rights across the globeChildren, and their bedrooms, come from all over the world, from China to the U.S. to Brazil By Sara Malm Published: 10:30 GMT, 3 April 2014 | Updated: 14:43 GMT, 3 April 2014 The difference between east and west, rich and poor becomes stark when looking at how our children sleep at night. Where Children Sleep, a project by photographer James Mollison, is set to highlight children’s rights by contrasting the different living situations for young people across the globe. We meet nine-year-old Dong from China who sleeps underneath a poster of Chairman Mao with his parents and sister; Roathy, eight, from Cambodia who lives on a rubbish tip; Kaya, four, from Tokyo, whose mother makes her at least three new dresses a month; and Indira from Nepal who has worked in the local granite quarry since the age of three.

December 2012 Pronunciation: Teaching a Segmental Contrast by Donna Brinton The above excerpt from comedian Shelley Berman’s classic “Rune Sor-bees” telephone exchange between a hotel guest and a room service clerk serves as a humorous but nonetheless very poignant reminder that comprehension between native and nonnative speakers of English can break down at the word or even syllable level. In fact, one of the fundamental activities when teaching pronunciation to second language learners is the teaching of segmental contrasts, i.e., the difference between two vowel or consonant sounds that are causing difficulties for students, either in terms of their perceiving the difference or in producing it (usually both). These phonemes (or distinctive sound contrasts) may cause difficulties for students for two primary reasons: Celce-Murcia, Brinton, and Goodwin (2010) suggest that when teaching a segmental contrast, teachers use the five-part communicative framework in Figure 1. Figure 1. Nilsen, D. Donna M.

The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet © Tomasz P. Szynalski, Antimoon.com This chart contains all the sounds (phonemes) used in the English language. For each sound, it gives: The symbol from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), as used in phonetic transcriptions in modern dictionaries for English learners — that is, in A. To print the chart, use the printable PDF version. Does this chart list all the sounds that you can hear in British and American English? No. For example, this page does not list the regular t (heard in this pronunciation of letter) and the flap t (heard in this one) with separate symbols. So this page actually lists phonemes (groups of sounds), not individual sounds. Take the phoneme p in the above chart. Typing the phonetic symbols You won’t find phonetic symbols on your computer’s keyboard. You can use my free IPA phonetic keyboard at ipa.typeit.org. You can also use the ASCII Phonetic Alphabet, which represents IPA symbols with “normal” characters that you can type on your keyboard.

subjects and transcripts Speech Peer Evaluation Form Flipped Classroom - Portfolio de Álvaro Pascual Sanz Por otro lado, y para abrir cada bloque de contenido, los alumnos pueden encontrar las sesiones invertidas, aquella que tendrán que trabajar en casa (en color negro). Además, aquí organizo mi programación de aula (en color gris, que significa que está oculta a los alumnos): Para crear estas sesiones empleo un tipo de tarea conocido como "lección", presento aquí dos videotutoriales que pueden resultar útiles para quien se plantee crear este tipo de tarea: Una de las ventajas que me ofrece trabajar con lecciones es que puedo saber qué alumnos hacen la sesión y quiénes no, la hora y el día en el que la realizan (no contaba con ello, pero me está ofreciendo datos valiosos sobre los hábitos de estudio de mis alumnos, al menos en cuanto a la planificación del tiempo) o el tiempo que tardan en realizarla. De este modo, también puedo valorar la dificultad y extensión de la sesión preparada de cara a modificarla para el curso siguiente.

JUST a minute Fonetik med iPad och dator I veckan har mina 9or för första gången fått möta fonetisk skrift. Vissa lärare arbetar väldigt mycket med det, själv berör jag det knappt alls i varken tyska eller engelska. När jag undervisade i franska lade jag mer energi på det av den enkla anledningen att stavningen och uttalet skiljer sig så markant åt i franska språket. De här skillnaderna mellan uttal och skrift finns ju också i engelskan, men då eleverna hör så mycket engelska i sin vardag blir behovet inte lika tydligt. Jag introducerade ämnet med en kort film om uttal från BBC. I appen fick eleverna på egen hand försöka förstå vad de konstiga tecknen betydde, några försökte också på eget initiativ skriva egna tecken när de fick orden stavade, vilket är avsevärt svårare. När de hade fått ungefärlig koll på hur man skulle läsa ut dem gick de vidare till kartan med ljuden, där de själva fick klicka fram ljud. Mitt syfte med lektionen: att eleverna ska kunna känna igen fonetisk skrift och kunna få någon vägledning av tecknen.
