High-achieving teenagers | LearnEnglish Teens | British Council Presenter: Next on the programme we have an interview with someone who has been writing a book about high-achieving teenagers. Welcome, Louise Hardy.Louise: Hi, it’s lovely to be here.Presenter: Louise, many of these teenagers who have achieved success and fame early on, have done so through using new technology, haven’t they? Through blogging or using YouTube or Twitter?Louise: Absolutely, and the greatest example of this is Justin Bieber. As I think everyone on the planet knows, he started off by posting videos on YouTube at the age of 14 and was spotted by a talent scout who worked with the R&B singer Usher. After that he very rapidly became a worldwide sensation.Presenter: I heard that last year he was said to be more influential than Obama!

The Best Sites For Free ESL/EFL Hand-Outs & Worksheets There are tons of places on the Internet where you can find ESL/EFL hand-outs and worksheets of varied quality and varied cost. You can find a very long list of them on my website under ESL Hand-Outs And Lesson Plans. I thought a “The Best…” list highlighting the sites that I thought were best might be useful to readers. This is sort of a companion list to The Best Resource Sites For ESL/EFL Teachers. In order to make it on this list, the site needed to have a large quantity of high-quality resources available — free of charge — for printing-out. Many ESL/EFL textbooks have most of the same information that these hand-outs and worksheets offer. * I’ve found that many teacher-created worksheets are just plain better at helping students learn than the textbooks I have seen, so they are excellent supplements. * Since students can’t write in most textbooks, unless it’s a “consumable,” worksheets are good materials for students to annotate.

English Teaching Forum Volume 53, Number 4 The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” indicates that a complex idea can be communicated by a single image. We might spend an hour reading an article about the devastating effects an oil spill has on wildlife ecology. But a photograph of an oil-drenched pelican gasping for air evokes in us an instant emotional response. Indeed, cognitive research has shown that the human brain processes images quicker than it processes words, and images are more likely than text to remain in our long-term memory (Levie and Lentz 1982). What if we slow down this image-viewing process to unpack those thousand words that underlie each picture? However, these digital natives are not intuitively adept at analyzing and critiquing images, skills that can be considered part of visual literacy (Brumberger 2011). Communicative language classrooms are an ideal location to cultivate the visual literacy skills involved in viewing and creating images. What is visual literacy? Meaningful oral interaction 1.
Podcasts gratuits pour apprendre les langues Voici un répertoire de sites qui proposent gratuitement des flux de fichiers audio et/ou vidéo, voire de simples enregistrements (sans option d'abonnement) pour l’apprentissage de l’anglais, du français, de l’espagnol et d'autres langues principalement européennes. A condition d’avoir une certaine autonomie dans l’apprentissage, on peut y trouver de quoi se passer des exercices fastidieux de grammaire et des listes ennuyeuses de vocabulaire pour se concentrer uniquement sur la langue telle qu’elle est parlée et comprise par les locuteurs natifs. Les professeurs de langues peuvent également y trouver des ressources audio et/ou vidéo intéressantes à intégrer dans les cours ou à présenter aux élèves en tant que ressources complémentaires au support imprimé. Les podcasts proposés sont pour la plupart des ressources francophones et anglophones faciles d'accès.

Listen and Write - Dictation Blackout poetry – elevernas reaktioner Idag var det dags för skolavslutning. En härlig dag för att fira ett lyckat läsår, men också en sorglig dag för avsked. Vi har inte haft något vernissage eller någon allmän utställning under våren, så eleverna har inte fått visa upp allt de har gjort. Jag ville ändå visa deras Blackout poetry, framför allt för att flertalet elever lyckades väldigt bra med uppgiften. Jag hade redan laminerat dem, så när elevskåpen var tömda och städade igår satte jag upp elevernas dikter på skåpsdörrarna. Det var en blandning av de tre klasserna som gjort dem, de hängde huller om buller, vissa med namn, andra utan. Jag vet inte riktigt vad jag förväntade mig, men elevernas reaktioner var mer positiva än jag trott.
