Guys, I'll share with you an idea of a challenge for teens, I imagine some of the must be bored or sad as I'm with the situation we're facing, so the challenge is to make a list with 10 things they are greatful for, even when times are tough. I think it will be good to use English and also to give them some emotional perspective

Guys, fiz um we rule no storyboardthat com meus ks, ficou bem fofo. Criei esse modelo com listen to your friends, ask the teacher if you have questions e do the activities. E eles criaram: respect your grandmother and mother, pay attention e o último do the activities! (Não consegui fazer o download da foto =/)

Criei uma coisa legal com os meus Ks também.  A gente fez essa special bag dobrando uma folha ao meio e colando as bordas. Eles trazem toda aula e no final da aula eu coloco um slide com o que a gente aprendeu no dia ai cada um compartilha uma palavra nova que aprendeu, desenha e coloca na bag. É uma rotina que tá ajudando bastante o final das aulas com os pequenos cansados 😊

More and more English language teaching is taking place online these days in groups and one to one. Now the principles of teaching and learning remain the same across all contexts. But when we teach English online, new challenges arise that we need to deal with. And we do need to adapt the approach that we take in the face-to-face classroom to a digital classroom. People are studying in their home environment, in their living room, in their car. I had one lady working from her car, she wasn't driving. On this course, Teaching English Online we'll help you to understand how to teach an effective lesson online. We'll begin the course by thinking about the market.

We'll think about the learners that you might teach and what might be expected of you as an online tutor. The crucial elements of any online lesson are the teacher, the student, and a way to see them and hear them. Those are the basics. We'll tell you about the equipment you need to get started and the platforms that you might want to use. We'll also suggest resources and tools that you can exploit in and out of lessons. So you have to understand your platform and how it works before you start. And then ideally, you should have a practise with somebody else on the other end.

We'll give you some practical strategies for developing a good rapport with learners and helping to motivate them throughout a lesson, because these things can be more difficult online than they are face-to-face. And we'll give examples using teachers who are teaching online today. I build rapport with my online learners in very much the same way as I would do with a regular face-to-face class. So lots of encouragement and motivation and praise. We'll also look at how we can help learners to develop receptive and productive skills. We'll suggest different lesson structures for different types of lessons, and activities that can help learners to develop different sub-skills. Finally, we'll think about how we can teach language online.

You'll have ideas and advice on how to set context, how to clarify language and check understanding, how to give practise, and how to error correct online. Because there's a distance between us, I think it's important to try and get to know the learners individually as much as possible. By the end of the course, you'll be able to transfer the skills you have in the face-to-face classroom to a digital classroom so that you can produce really effective lessons for the learners you teach and help them to develop their English skills.

A successful online lesson is a lesson where your student goes away knowing something they didn't know at the beginning, or being able to do something they couldn't do at the beginning. My name's Lindsey Warwick and I'm a teacher and trainer based here in Cambridge in the UK, and I'd like to invite you to join our course Teaching English Online. I very much hope to see you there.

Gente, passando só pra falar de uma ideia que fiz com meus Teens, mas que acredito que tb pode dar certo com mais jovens. Estávamos em uma aula sobre fotos, então pedi a eles que fizessem um filme, usando fotos. Eles gostaram bastante. Era algo bem curtinho, claro. Eles tiravam fotos usando o que tinham em casa e criavam as cenas, a maioria usou bonecas e brinquedos para serem os personagens e enquanto isso eles faziam as falas. Foi divertido

Forget all about the same old gap-filled exercises!

In this special post, you'll find a collection of lesson plans that get your students participating in creative activities, analyzing links between ideas, and working towards a resolution related to carefully planned tasks.

These highly creative activities also involve the sharing of information and ideas where students have the opportunity to express feelings and arguments, while being motivated by meaningful tasks that involve MUSIC! Nietzsche once said " Life without music is a mistake". I'd like to say that English language teaching without music is also a HUGE mistake.

Well, without further ado, here are:

12 SONG-BASED LESSON PLANS THAT PROMOTE COLLABORATION, CRITICAL THINKING, CREATIVITY & COMMUNICATION

1- MUSICAL VIDEO MATCH

DESCRIPTION: Students TALK about a short video, MATCH videos and music pieces, EXPLAIN their choices, WRITE the lyrics for a song with the help of a template, SING it to the rhythm of the music they chose, and WRITE a story for homework (Cambridge English: First for Schools).

2- MUSICAL INTERVIEW

Um excelente dia, pessoal !! 😊
Gostaria de compartilhar uma idéia de "Warm up" que pode ser usada como estratégia de revisão de vocabulário abordado anteriormente.
É um JOGO DE OBSERVAÇÃO MINUCIOSA.

1) Como fazer ? Na apresentação de ppt, coloque imagens (de objetos, lugares ou qualquer outro tema a ser revisado) de diferentes tamanhos em cada slide. Exemplo: no primeiro slide, a imagem aparece bem pequeninha , no segundo um pouco maior e assim por diante.

LOGO NO INÍCIO, ESTIPULE UMA META DE PONTOS (ex. 1000 pontos) . Caso obtenham os 1000 pontos, uma parte da HW, por exemplo, pode ser retirada do dever de casa.

2) O que os alunos devem fazer? Advinhar o que é, de modo que, se advinharem logo no primeiro slide, recebem X pontos. No segundo, X/2 , e assim vai.

EXEMPLO PRÁTICO:

× Na última aula, aprenderam sobre lugares (pharmacy, school,museum);

× Os Slides foram preparados com diferentes tamanhos de cada imagem;

× Se acertarem o que é logo " de primeira" , recebem 200 pontos. Caso não, passe para o próximo slide que contém a mesma imagem um pouco maior, mas agora o que está valendo são 100 pontos. Ainda não conseguiram? Passe para o próximo , mas agora são 50 pontos.

Tal atividade pode ser realizada com toda a sala, sem a divisão de grupos, estimulando a cooperação entre os alunos.
