But what did the British really do? · Lärarnas Riksförbund
Upplägg För att utmana mina elever valde jag att väva ihop dessa bitar till ett projekt om imperialismen. Upplägget är: Hitta information om hur ett land påverkades av britternas ankomst.Skriva en text utifrån anteckningarna.Bearbeta texten.Jämföra det man hittat med kamrater som arbetat med samma land samt diskutera källor.Presentera landets situation i grupp inför klassen. Informationssökning - med stöttning och ramar Det är många som suckar att de redan vet hur man googlar saker, men det jag märker är att eleverna i själva verket har en hel del problem här. Många av mina eleverna gillar att kopiera text direkt och just därför är jag lite hård och kräver att de antecknar för hand. Jag lottade ut länder bland eleverna och de fick ett papper med instruktioner för sökningen . Inför informationssökandet diskuterade vi de olika aspekterna av källkritik. När eleverna väl var igång försökte jag få lite koll på vilka sidor de valde att använda. Skrivandet - en Five paragraph essay .

Five essential listening skills for English learners
How can learners improve their listening comprehension? Teacher Raphael Ahmed shares some useful strategies in one of our top five articles of all time, illustrated by artist Jamie Johnson. Why listening is important It should not be difficult to realise the importance of listening when we consider that it occupies about 45 per cent of the time adults spend in communication. Yet, for all its importance, students (and even teachers) often fail to give listening the attention it needs. Listening challenges for English language learners There are many difficulties an individual may face in understanding a talk, lecture or conversation in a second language (and sometimes even in their first language). Contributing factors include the speaker talking quickly, background noise, a lack of visual clues (such as on the telephone), the listener’s limited vocabulary, a lack of knowledge of the topic, and an inability to distinguish individual sounds. 1.

Playing with PlayPhrase - Anthony Teacher.com
When I first learned of PlayPhrase several years ago, I was quite excited about its pedagogic potential, even though I didn’t know exactly what that potential was. I just knew that the site must be useful. PlayPhrase is a kind of pseudo-corpus that allows one to search for words or phrases and then hear/read/see those phrases in short sentences taken from movies and TV shows. It allows you to hear how these words and phrases sound in all their screamed or whispered, connected, unstressed, authentic glory. It makes for great listening practice, especially for bottom-up skills and short sentence parsing. It also makes for good pronunciation practice through mimicry and hearing multiple examples in context. I would often share it with students as a pronunciation tool, or I would use it in class if we needed to hear how a phrase (e.g. kind of) usually sounds in America. 1. 2.
