Related: esterfeldmanMotivating speaking activities At this age, the learners aren't motivated by new language, they're motivated by an activity. It can be very difficult to get them to speak if they really don't see the point. You can approach this by focussing on the following. The function of the language and using an authentic or near authentic task (e.g. get them to sit back-to-back to practise speaking on the telephone).A motivating task, which uses the language you want them to practise (e.g. students write questions on small squares of paper using the target language, then form the papers into a board game to be played using dice and counters). Here are some possible examples, which apply to one or a combination of the above. A popular, well-known type of activity is the information gap. Making an arrangement: Each group has a diary, with appointments already filled in. Here are some examples of other activities I use with my younger learners:

Edpuzzle on the App Store Once upon a time I was riding a bike on my way home. It’s a long ride and my legs were getting tired so I stopped for a break at the side of the road. The forest besides me was gorgeous and so I sat down by a tree and downloaded an app my teacher needed us to use called Edpuzzle. Pôle Ressources Langues Interdegré 92 | Un enseignement à adapter La principale particularité des élèves de SEGPA réside dans le fait qu’ils bénéficient, tout au long de leur cursus, d’un suivi individualisé dans le cadre du projet individuel de formation. Il est donc important d’une part de leur faire comprendre que la SEGPA est une chance pour eux, car elle leur promet un avenir professionnel sûr, et d’autre part il importe de faire attention aux projets élaborés pour les élèves qui, à l’entrée en SEGPA, ne maîtrisent pas toutes les connaissances et compétences relevant du cycle des apprentissages fondamentaux et évaluées au palier 1 du socle commun de connaissances et de compétences. Objectif principal: Réussir son insertion au collège. Des modalités de vie scolaire et une organisation pédagogique doivent offrir à l’élève de SEGPA un accès progressif et accompagné afin qu’il s’approprie ou se réapproprie des savoirs. Ainsi que le précise la circulaire n° 2009 060 du 24/04/2009: Cadre de vie et de travail La différenciation pédagogique ‐ individuel 2. . .

List of Conversation Topics | Conversation starters One of the most frustrating things I have ever experienced around a girl, is if I and her run out of things to talk about. Since you found this post I assume you know what I’m talking about, and maybe you are interested in learning how to avoid awkward silence. I’m thinking about the teeth pooling moments where the awkward silence just takes over the situation, you are just sitting their smiling while desperately in your mind scrambling for something just mildly interesting say, but you just can think of anything, you mind is a total black out, you can’t even remember your own name at this point. Finally you hear yourself saying something completely uninteresting, like: “sooo.. do you come here often”, she says “no its my first time!” It’s a horrible horrible situation to be in, I have thus decided to make this cheat sheet of interesting conversation topics to ensure, that you will never run out of things to say again.

19 Successful Online English Teachers Share Their Tips and Resources for Planning Online Lessons Thanks to everyone who contributed! I receive A LOT of emails from online teachers (and online teachers to be) about planning; namely, what they should include in their lessons and what resources they should use. As there are many areas of English and different teaching methods, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, there are some common practices and amazing resources that you can use in your online lessons. And as a way of celebrating the incredible teachers who create their own content so that we can use it with our students, I have put together this super post. I asked 19 online teachers for a tip or an app when it comes to lesson planning, and for them to share their resource. As well as being a handy guide for you, this might also inspire you too to create content for your learners (if you’re not doing this already). (At the bottom of the post there is a chance for you to add your own resources.) Gabby Wallace Make sure that each lesson has a clear takeaway. Kieran Docherty
