Eight Ways to Use Video With English-Language Learners This blog was co-authored by Katie Hull Sypnieski. This post is excerpted from their new book, The ESL/ELL Teacher's Survival Guide: Ready-to-Use Strategies, Tools, and Activities for Teaching English Language Learners of All Levels. "I like the way you use videos with us -- you get us moving, talking, writing and speaking. We can think of far worse things a student might say to us, and John's comment demonstrates our perspective on using video with English-Language Learners (and, for that matter, with all students) -- research and our experience show that it can be a very effective learning tool, but it has to be used as an active one. Integrate and evaluate information presented in diverse media and formats, including visually, quantitatively, and orally. 1. "Critical Pedagogy" is the term often used to describe a teaching approach whose most well-known practitioner was Brazilian educator Paulo Freire.

Strategies in Language Learning Motivating speaking activities for lower levels Planning time has been shown to increase production in speaking tasks. Lower level learners often find it especially difficult to speak spontaneously, so these activities incorporate 'thinking time' during which learners can prepare for speaking by planning what they are going to say, and asking the teacher or using a dictionary to look up missing vocabulary. The following activities are relatively short, with minimal materials preparation time for the teacher. They are designed for use as a warmer or a filler in the middle or at the end of a class. 1. This activity is good for activating existing vocabulary or revising vocabulary studied in previous lessons. Procedure Choose a vocabulary topic (this can be vocabulary you have recently studied or a topic you want to introduce). A faster-moving, fun alternative to this activity is a team game. 2. 3. This is a variation on the above activity and is great for practising adjectives. Cartoons, cartoon stories and unusual pictures 4. 5. 6.
ESL Lesson Plan for Intonation | Speechpeek Blog I teach this lesson to my ESL students in my Oral Communications class. I usually start my class with a pronunciation tip, such as this one, because my students find it helpful and fun, and it loosens them up for the rest of the class session. I like to arrange the desks so that they form a “U”. This arrangement is helpful for both pair and large group work. INSTRUCTION (5-10 minutes) I start the lesson by explaining what Intonation is and why it’s so important: I then show how intonation is used correctly: Intonation should fall at the end of declarative statements. Examples: That’s my house.I like apples. Intonation should rise at the end of questions or statements expressing doubt. You’re moving? IN-CLASS EXERCISES (20-25 minutes) After the instructional part of the lesson, I then give my students time in class to practice what they just learned. In pairs One of them would be Student A, and the other would be Student B. Student A: You ran fifty miles. Student A: He drank all of the wine.
