TED talks for autonomous listening: ten activities – ELT stories The first week of the Electronic Village Online is in full swing! I’m co-moderating the session on teaching listening, and this week, under the guidance of Lizzie Pinard, we’ve started out with the topic of encouraging learner autonomy. One great thing about online sessions like this one is that there are a lot of participants who share a wealth of tips about the activities and resources they use. What also often happens, however, is that the teacher recommends this resource but the learners don’t start using it – and the teacher kind of knows that they don’t, but they don’t even ask because that would be admitting failure (oh haven’t I been there a lot of times?) First of all, in her live session Lizzie offered some tips how to encourage the learners to start learning out of class in general: So, if we get back to TED talks, this means that Below I outline ten ideas for tasks based on TED talks Before I describe the ideas themselves, here are some tips that work with all these ideas: Upd.

Listening through video: 7 things to keep in mind A few months ago I was talking to a friend who’d just dropped out of his English classes halfway through the course. Here’s a condensed version of our conversation: “It was not a bad course at all, and the teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable. It’s just that…” “What?” “Well, I got tired of traveling all the way across town, twice a week, to do things I could easily do at home, on my own.” I immediately thought, of course, of a classroom full of students plodding through dozens and dozens of gap-fill activities. “We did far too many video activities in class.” Wait a minute. Students love video, right? “But isn’t that a good thing? “Well, the videos were fun and all, but, hello, I have YouTube on my phone.” And then his phone rang and we went back to talking about politics. But my friend’s comments kept nagging at me for weeks and ultimately prompted me to write this post, which begins with a question – now more rhetorical than genuine: Maybe. 1. 2. 3. 4. But here’s the good news: 5. 6. 7.

A scrap of paper leads a sailor to his wife This story is about love, and war. And a mysterious piece of paper. Fifty-three years ago, Royce Thorpe was cleaning a US Navy barracks in California when he found a scrap of paper. He didn't look at it, but he stuck it in his wallet so he could throw it away later. That bit of paper would change his life. He was assigned to a ship that was headed for Vietnam, and during the trip he spent a night standing watch in Hong Kong. When he finally looked at that paper, he saw the Oregon address of a woman named Mary. Mary was still in high school. Mary told him about high school, and Royce wrote about life in the Navy. The day they met, they shook hands and looked at each other. Dallas, Oregon had a population of a few thousand people. They corresponded for three years. Finally, the pair met up again, when Royce had a few days of leave in California. On December 18, 2015, Mary and Royce celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. To this day, they're not sure how they managed to meet.
