What can we do to support our learners in the language learning classroom? How can we encourage learners to communicate, increase their fluency and confidence while also developing their range of vocabulary and grammatical accuracy in the sentence structures they use? These are questions I have often discussed with teachers. Here are some key points. > > - The choice of topic is important. If it’s a topic that captures learners’ interest and imagination, you’ve already made a good start. > - Using language in a context that is familiar for learners is also important. This can be through stories and pictures that are meaningful and easy to relate to. > > - Choosing activities that are fun and include opportunities for personalisation help increase learner engagement. This could be through Total Physical Response (TPR) activities where learners do actions related to sentences the teacher says e.g. Teacher: I am jumping. (All learners start jumping). Later, learners take on the role of the teacher and use the language themselves. > > - Finally, using tasks that help learners notice new language, think about language and use language in interesting and creative ways can be more memorable and meaningful for learners. Matching, categorising, and personalisation tasks require learners to engage with new words and grammar that help make language learning fun, engaging and memorable. > > I’m sure teachers will continue to discuss these questions, share ideas and learn from each other. That’s what makes teaching such a great profession. I hope you enjoy and learn from the video offerings this month and continue to reflect on your teaching. > > Jon Parnham > Senior Academic Manager, English Partnerships > British Council, West India > > USING ENGLISH IN THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE TENSE > चालू वर्तमानकाळात इंग्रजी भाषेचा वापर > Class V | 6:.53 min| > Marathi w/ Eng & Hin subtitles > > USING WH- QUESTIONS FOR SENTENCE FORMATION > वाक्य रचना करण्यासाठी WH- प्रश्नाचा वापर > Class V | 7:.28 min| > Marathi w/ Eng & Hin subtitles > ACTION WORDS > क्रिया शब्द > Class V | 10:.25 min| > Marathi w/ Eng & Hin subtitles > > > > > > > > YouTube > Facebook > Website > Email > Subscribe a Friend > > Copyright © 2016 Centre for Equity and Quality in Universal Education (CEQUE), All rights reserved. > > You are receiving this email because you are part of the Teacher Pages community. > Our mailing address is: > Centre for Equity and Quality in Universal Education (CEQUE) > c/3 Sunita ApartmentsI Gujjar Lane > Santacruz (W)I Mumbai 400054 > India > > Add us to your address book > > Want to change how you receive these emails? > You can update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list > > > > IT for Change, Bengaluru > www.ITforChange.net > > -- > 1.
