Safer Internet day 9/2 - lektionsförslag På tisdag den 9 februari är det Safer Internet Day. Denna dag uppmärksammas på många olika ställen över hela världen. Temat för i år är ”Play your part for a better internet”. I Sverige har Statens Mediaråd valt att fokusera på att stötta och hjälpa föräldrar att lära sig mer om hur vi kan hantera frågor som uppkommer när våra barn och ungdomar befinner sig på Internet. Via sidan Nohate.se kan både föräldrar och lärare få tips och råd kring hur man kan tänka och vad man behöver göra för att stötta barnen/ungdomarna i deras digitala vardag. Om du vill uppmärksamma Safer Internet Day i din undervisning har British Council tagit fram ett, i mitt tycke, bra och användbart material. Som en introduktion till din lektion kan du använda nedanstående film från UK Safer Internet Center: Om du och dina elever vill stötta Safer Internet Day kan ni delta via Twitter eller Facebook i en så kallad Thunderclap. I play my part for a better internet by supporting Safer Internet Day! Sara

5 of My Favorite English Games for ESL Students I saved the best for last. My students requested this game more often than any other game we ever played. It's based on the old drinking game "Ring of Fire," modified for the classroom. Materials needed:A standard deck of playing cards, a whiteboard, 20-30 small slips of blank paper, and a bowl. The setup:Almost none! The activity:Before you start the game, hand every student two small slips of paper. The students will take turns pulling a card. Here are the actions I assign to cards and the penalties involved: K: Ask anyone. Q: Ask a girl. J: Ask a boy. 10: Ask your teacher! 9: Bunny ears! 8: Words. 7: Pick again. 6: Touch your nose! 5: Answer one question. 4: Ask the person on your left. 3: Ask the person on your right. 2: Answer two questions. A: Free card. Note: This is just an example of a setup I use for intermediate university level classes.
Arbeta språkutvecklande med hjälp av Storybird När vi hade planeringsdag på skolan gick programmet i språkets tecken. En kollega startade upp sitt försteläraruppdrag med inriktning ”språkutvecklande arbetssätt”, vi såg på skolverkets film ”Språk – och kunskapsutvecklande arbete” som en upptakt till fortsatta diskussioner kring hur vi arbetar på vår skola. Vi diskuterade bl.a. hur elevernas språkliga förmågor ser ut hos eleverna, vilka förväntningar vi har på eleverna och hur vi kan undvika att missta oss på elevernas språkförmåga då de t.ex. trots allt har ett rikt vardagsspråk. Vi funderade även över hur vi, i våra olika verksamheter såsom fritids, förskoleklass och skola arbetar språkutvecklande med våra elever och gav praktiska exempel utifrån de olika verksamheterna. Efter filmen, de efterföljande diskussionerna och en kaffepaus var det min tur att på ett mer praktiskt sätt visa hur du kan arbeta språkutvecklande med hjälp av Storybird. Storybird är ett verktyg som lockar ”elever” i alla åldrar. Storybird i förskoleklass

En deckarhistoria med digitala verktyg Mina åttor har läst olika typer av deckare, bland annat Man kan bara bli hängd en gång och Ridån går upp. Den senare blev de mycket fästa vid och gav dessutom ett bra diskussionsunderlag. Vanligtvis skriver eleverna egna deckare, men tiden är knapp så här i slutet av terminen. Istället för att skriva en hel och omfattande deckare, blev alternativet att gestalta sig själv som huvudperson i valfri deckargenre. Välja karaktär: Pusseldeckarens smarta detektiv, en hårdkokt snut, en psykopat eller varför inte en mix av alla? För att skapa en interaktiv deckarhistoria behöver du: En selfie och googlade bilder.Alfafunktionen i Pages. Tiden då?

BATTLESHIP: IRREGULAR VERBS Much to learn, you still have. – Joda. Despite the evidence that the number of irregular verbs is declining in the English language, there is no danger they will disappear, and the struggle will continue. There are many attempts to find a shortcut in learning irregular verbs, yet with all the options and “magic tricks” available, learning these verbs requires much memorization, drilling and practice. Today I will show how I use the Battleship game to drill and practise irregular verbs in a fun way. Before the game: Each player will need two 10×10 grids – one with irregular verbs in each square, and one blank grid. Click the Grids to download them. The players then mark where they want to place their ships by circling rows, horizontally or vertically. Each player’s fleet consists of the following ships: 1 aircraft carrier – 5 squares 1 battleship – 4 squares 1 cruiser – 3 squares 2 destroyers – 2 squares each 2 submarines – 1 square each How to play: some more games with irregular verbs from Engames.

The Winepress by Josef Essberger | English Club A short story by Josef Essberger "You don't have to be French to enjoy a decent red wine," Charles Jousselin de Gruse used to tell his foreign guests whenever he entertained them in Paris. "But you do have to be French to recognize one," he would add with a laugh. After a lifetime in the French diplomatic corps, the Count de Gruse lived with his wife in an elegant townhouse on Quai Voltaire. He was a likeable man, cultivated of course, with a well-deserved reputation as a generous host and an amusing raconteur. This evening's guests were all European and all equally convinced that immigration was at the root of Europe's problems. The first of the red Bordeaux was being served with the veal, and one of the guests turned to de Gruse. "Come on, Charles, it's simple arithmetic. "Yes, General. Without another word, de Gruse picked up his glass and introduced his bulbous, winey nose. "A truly full-bodied Bordeaux," he said warmly, "a wine among wines." "Really?" "But how? "Well?"
