What was useful for me in Unit 6?
Every English language teacher applies to the course to learn something new , useful and best ideas which help to motivate students to improve their language skills and engage them learning interactively. I got also for myself some useful ideas. For example readings about engaging studnets in learning and interactive lectures, even they were not about English language large class teaching , were interestiong. I got from interactive lecture reading one strtategy which named " Just-in -time teaching" where teacher prepares questions on one of the topic from studnets textbooks or sites and send those questions to students through discussion board , internet. Students read questions and their texts answer to them. They come to the next lesson with new idea and new questions for class discussion . The video about implmentation of this strategy was also practical .
The next interesting , challenging and more useful skill which I practiced was developing interactive PPT Jeopardy game for using in Grade 11 during revision lesson. I found this activity was so usefulk than other discussions in this Unit because I like to learn more through doing rather than just speaking.
The other task which I have to implement my project work. Our studnets now are haviing rest . They start studying from Monday. I am going to complete my all PPT which I have started now and share with my colleagues and use it ion my lessons.
Hi Gulnara Abdieva,
ReplyDeleteOne of my teaching techniques resembles JUST IN TIME TEACHING of yours. Like you, I too depend on internet to connect to my students. Using Google group ID, I send the material which my students are supposed to be thorough with. With enough time for preparation, the students are tested with questions and discussion topics when they come back to class. This practice helps both the teacher and the student to teach, learn and review the subject material in a systematic way.
The other idea of yours , JEOPARDY GAMES is something which is totally new to me, But I am going to try one of these days.
Let your students rest for a while. We the teachers are always restless!?. The reason is we are concerned about our students' welfare all the time.
ALL THE BEST FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS
