Great job with the Interactive PPT

Hi,

We all witnessed today some great presentations using the various features that Interactive PPT provides us. I think that you are ready to present your projects as you all had a go this week. You are ready to teach through the use of different media and bring to your students a variety of resources.

The topic for this week is related to your project and it helps you to organise the information. I will upload both topics in a PPT presentation where the information is organised according to my reading of the information on the book. However, you will also have the materials published so you can read them.

Chapter 2 and 3

Chapter 4

From this week onwards you will be focusing mainly on your work with the project and the assignments are mainly related to that.


Be safe and have a nice week,

Best,

Week 8

Hi everyone,

Below you will find a presentation about different ways of teaching grammar,
challenging the traditional approaches. And there is another video where both Grammar and Vocabulary are addressed since most of your topics for the teaching project included grammar and vocabulary. I have also included the link of the website so that you can consult it from time to time for various topics related to teaching English as a Foreign Language.

Webinars videos or slides from American English Webinars webpage:
https://americanenglish.state.gov/resources/american-english-webinars#child-2522

With regard to this week's assignments and the volume of work that you claim cannot be managed.
I don't think that watching two presentations and commenting on them (which is again the maximum one computer page or even less sometimes) or creating PPT presentations (I have asked only two slides with two effects per person) and writing about Step 2, which does not take you more than a page the maximum or even less as you have all defined the skills with the topic, all of this will not take you more than one afternoon.
However, if you are not happy with this way and with the practical aspect of this subject. We could continue with the traditional way and I give you only theoretical lectures and materials and then you have your final examination based on the material. You can discuss it among yourselves and then let me know on Monday how you would like to proceed.

Have a nice week,
T

Week 7

Hi everyone,

We are almost half way through. Keep up the good work and your engagement in the class. Now the real work starts. You have to apply your knowledge to this project, which will give you all the opportunity to be a teacher in the classroom. Unfortunately, we will not be in the classroom but in our virtual meeting places. However, I am confident that you will overcome this challenge as well.
I am just sharing with you a chapter taken from a study so that you can have some ideas to reflect on this week's post for those who need some stimulus.
There are also some videos for you to watch about ways of enhancing your planning of the lesson, since you are starting to make decisions about that.
