Kort är gott Jag är ett stort fan av kortfilmer, likväl som jag alltid tyckt om short stories, dvs noveller istället för romaner. En novell kan ibland på endast cirka tio sidor berätta lika mycket som en roman på 300 sidor. Min favoritförfattare när jag som tonåring började lära mig älska engelska blev Ellen Gilchrist och hennes fascinerade kvinnoporträtt i historier som ofta utspelade sig i amerikanska södern. Fortsatte med henne ett bra tag innan E. Annie Proulx blev en favorit och sedan rullade det på. Använder kortfilmer mycket i engelskan, ibland som grund för ett tema, men lika ofta som diskussionsunderlag. Cargo är en favoritfilm för fortsatt diskussion med lite äldre elever: Även denna har gett upphov till bra fortsättningar i klassrummet - och eleverna fick göra sina egna tolkningar och skriva en sammanfattning om den på engelska:
First Class Ice Breakers Using Mobile Devices I previously wrote about the importance of beginning a class focusing on the learners in the room as opposed to the content to be covered in Beginning the School Year: It’s About Connections Not Content. Most classes, starting with about middle school, begin the school year with reviewing the content to be covered, expectations regarding grades, and other academic information provided by the teacher or instructor. The human or social element is often disregarded.What is interesting is that most learners enter the classroom wondering who is in the course. They want to know about the teacher and the people in the class not what material is to be covered. All of my classes, regardless of student age or demographics – elementary gifted students or graduate students, begin with ice-breakers and team-building activities. What follows are several of the mobile-driven ice-breakers I recently used in an undergraduate course on Interpersonal Relations. Cell Sharing Question Selector Like this:

Elimination games with young learners | Super Simple Learning Blog ♫ One potato, two potatoes… ♫ Many of us remember playing elimination games like Musical Chairs and Simon Says when we were young. These are games where you start with a group, and each round, one or more players is “out” and eliminated from the game. As you get closer and closer to the end of the game, the tension builds, and it can be a lot of fun (and beneficial for young learners). However, for some very young learners, these kinds of elimination games can be very upsetting. There are a few ways to handle this. 1) Demonstrate how to “lose” positively If you do play a game where participants get eliminated, be sure, as the leader, to eliminate yourself first. 2) Make getting “out” fun When a child does get eliminated in the game, give her a high five, let her sit in a special chair, make a silly noise, maybe even give her a sticker. 3) Eliminate the elimination For very young learners, often there is no need to have a winner or any sense of competition to make the activity fun.

Strategier i engelska och moderna språk.pdf Beginning the School Year: It’s About Connections Not Content Most classes, starting with about middle school, begin the school year with reviewing the content to be covered, expectations regarding grades, and other academic information provided by the teacher or instructor. The human or social element is often disregarded. What is interesting is that most learners enter the classroom wondering who is in the course. Because of this belief, I begin all classes focusing on having the students make connections between themselves and me. You are the focus of the class not me.You are important as a learner in this class.You will be expected to engage in the learning activities during class time. Based on age/grade level, I have begun my classes in a variety of ways. Team Contract Class members meet in small groups to develop guidelines for making the classroom a safe place to learn and to take risks. Team Building Games There are tons of team building games that can be used in the classroom. All About Me Activities Some example activities I have done:
Teaching Listening Skills: Ready to Listen, Ready to Learn Most children come to school armed with only one way to learn – listening. Almost all of us were born doing it. Indeed, for the first few years of formal education, listening is an integral part of teaching. But something happens around first and second grade, when students learn to read. Slowly the read aloud books and storytime are phased out, replaced instead by silent reading. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with silent reading. We spend 65-90% of our time listening and yet it’s a skill that is almost entirely overlooked in the K12 classroom. The new Common Core standards have recognized the importance of this skill. Meta Strategies How do you improve listening? There is no accurate instrument to measure listening in your first language, according to Janusik. Tell a Good Story If you tell a good story, people listen better. The storytelling on public radio is unmatched in quality. Not just for English Language Learners In Short
12 ways of creating stories with your EFL students I’ve been reading a fair amount recently about the value of storytelling – and, in particular, the telling of vivid and emotionally-engaging stories – to memory in general, and vocabulary-learning and grammar practice more specifically. It certainly seems that learning new words from a list is a duller and less efficient alternative to acquiring and retaining new vocabulary than involving your learners in narratives using the target words. With this in mind, here are four ways you can involve your learners in creating stories around particular lexical or grammatical themes, and a list (and brief descriptions!) of eight other methods from various corners of this site: Stories from boxesDraw eight rectangles on the board, with space between each one.Invite student volunteers to come and draw one thing, each in a different rectangle. Note: The two ideas above come from Creating Stories with Children by Andrew Wright. Stories from blank paper Show your students a blank sheet of paper.
