How can we deal with students who are reluctant to speaking in little groups (as opposed to whole class) and always tend to address the teacher instead of other learners ?
How do we draw the class back together after group activities, and what is the next step, what kind of feedback ?
How to address the issue of English classes being of “less importance” than regular school lessons. Ss don’t take their lessons ‘seriously’ because their school responsibilites and exams always come first.
I don’t know if this topic has been covered yet, but here’s what I’d like to discuss: “How do we cater for the language needs of our learners in this digital age?”
See ya on Wednesday! 🙂
I have some ideas for topics below and apologies in advance if these have been used before:
a. M-Learning: How do you use it in class?
b. One to one teaching: What pedagogic method is best for learners?
c. Teaching in Difficult Circumstances: What has been your experience and how did you approach your classes?
d. Teacher observations: A ‘wolf in sheeps clothing’ approach to assess teaching in institutions?
Many thanks.
Curriculum ideas for a digitally-based EFL course? Curriculum ideas that combine Wiki Spaces, One Note, Blackboard, Twitter, Prezi, blogs, and Facebook?
Just beginning to explore all the connections myself…and discovering that there is enormous potential for creating a powerful digital conglomerate of live-sharing platforms.
The classroom as a PLN?
Hi Martin
One of your suggestions was covered recently, One-to-one teaching, see the summary here:
http://eltchat.com/2011/02/18/how-do-you-approach-teaching-one-to-one-lessons-share-strategies-tips-techniques-eltchat-summary-16022011/
I can’t be there live for either ELTchat this week, but watch the topics with interest and check the transcripts later.
Cheers, Lesley
