I call it ‘ARM exercises’ which is simply short for Accept, Reject or Modify statements. Choose a controversial statement. For example:- ‘Women are the best drivers.’ ‘Mobile phones should be banned from public spaces.’ Either dictate or write the statement on the board. This activity can really stimulate discussion and the focus is very much on the students rather than the teacher. To round off the activity, finish with a short whole-class feedback stage. WORDLESS VIDEOS FOR ELT-2. Here’s my second post in the series Silence is Golden, Duct Tape is Silver aka Wordless Videos for ELT sharing more wordless videos that are short (about 2-4 minutes), highly engaging, and appropriate for learners of all levels.
Wordless films are a fantastic resource that may be used as a warm-up before your lesson begins, during the lesson – you may tie them into your lesson topic or use them to give your students a break – or at the end of class to assign a ‘mission’ to your students. The most valuable feature of stories based on wordless videos is that they can be told any number of ways according to your learners’ interpretation of the story and their level of proficiency in English, taking the form of a dialogue, narration, a story told by a particular character, etc.
In a way, you will hardly ever feel trapped, going through the same story with the same expressions again and again. One of the most amazing animated shorts I’ve watched is Dream – by Zombie Studio Like this: Name five...! Vocabulary booster. New Year Resolutions.docx.
Bringing it back to the classroom. Image by Carla Arena for eltpics One of the first ELT blog posts I ever wrote was for an incredibly tall, almost Scottish-looking (blood runs thicker…) chap from Brasilia.

He has also kindly supplied a Bio, which is included at the end of this post, so I’ll leave those particular details to him.
Suffice it to say that I am very VERY pleased to finally be able to return the invitation to blog for us, and to welcome Henrick Oprea to Take a photo and…. Using ELTPics in class Well, this is where it gets interesting. 4.

How are we here already? I can’t even wrap my head around the idea that this is going to be my 27th year teaching English. Time, please stand still! OMG, It makes me cringe to even think about it! Ugh. I know, I know. Anyway, a new school year, new students, a fresh start, a clean slate. So, the plan for the first day is the one below. Activity 1. We will start the course playing a Kahoot to revise some of the content studied in the previous course. If you ask students to play in pairs or in threes, you’ll just need a device for each group. This is the link in case you want to use my Kahoot. Activity 2. (I know! Can’t think of questions to ask? Idea for the post inspired by Post-it.com Activity 3. Speechyard. Learning English online with the help of games and exercises. Three main principles.
