The_Boy_in_the_Dress_by_David_Walliams.pdf Poddar och vloggar – engelska på riktigt | Alfa Att läsa i läroböckerna och traggla glosor ger färdigheter. Men att lyssna och prata ger ytterligare dimensioner. Robin Grahm, engelsklärare för högstadiet på Vallaskolan i Sollefteå, utmanar eleverna med ljudböcker, podcasts och videologgar – så kallade vloggar. – När de lyssnar på en podcast får eleverna höra hur det låter på riktigt, till skillnad från manus eller inläst text. Han låter även eleverna lyssna på ljudböcker för att öka på ordförrådet. – Podcasts och ljudböcker utmanar verkligen alla, även de som är fullt flytande i språket, säger han. Robin Grahms elever får även producera egna podcasts och vloggar. – Gör man vloggandet eller podcastandet till en rutin får man ut mer och mer förmågor av eleverna. En stor fördel är själva bedömningen. Ytterligare en vinst är att blyga elever får en chans att höras ordentligt. – De har bäst uttal och bäst inlevelse. För den lärare som vill pröva att göra poddar och vloggar finns en del att tänka på. – De tycker att det är helt naturligt.

What can Teachers Learn from Nelson Mandela to Make a Difference? We teach language to help people communicate. Why do people want to communicate? To express the human story through myth, inspiration and powerful transformation. Let’s dig deeper into the story of Nelson Mandela and help our students think, communicate and become active narrators in the search for peace and what makes us human. What can we teach students about Nelson Mandela through the power of video and multi-media? Let’s dig a little deeper to find out;) 1) The Video: I chose this BBC video as a modern day look at Mandela’s legacy beyond South Africa. Then we ask questions and dig a lot deeper. Beyond politics, what other dark forces in our human nature perpetuate the kinds of violence and prejudice that can seem to be so innate in humanity as to be chilling to the core. When we stare into the black hole of violence and face the shadow side of life, how do we remain optimistic, inspired and willing to risk all for the common good? Our better natures. Where are they when we need them?
