Self assessment is a skill that requires honesty towards one self. I think that's a skill that we lack in our culture. In that sense, trying to train students about self-assessment may have bigger implications in their future and maybe personal lives.
Traffic light system is something that I can use my English and other classes. The learning diary can be useful but not in our context. It requires higher level of learner autonomy but with helicopter or absentee parents it is not applicable.

Vocabulary and assessment were the topics we covered today. I want to focus on activating passive vocabulary strategies. I had always thought there was no interaction between active and passive vocabulary. However, there is an interaction between them. If we are exposed to the items in our passive vocabulary,

And unfortunately, register is the most difficult item to use and teach. I, as a teacher myself, may not be able to know the possible implications of the use of some certain vocabulary. So register is the thing I need to improve myself.

Grammar may be the most troublesome language component to teach. I find it quite difficult to find a balance between accuracy and fluency. Whenever I want to encourage my students and focus on fluency, I feel like I am sacrificing accuracy. Whenever I focus on accuracy, I feel like I am taking their limited chance to practice English.
In this session, I realized what I am doing wrong. I need to give them more controlled practice activities then move on to the freer ones. By this way, while giving my weaker students to more practice opportunity, I can provide freer and more creative activities for my stronger students.

The most important take away for me from this session was to model. I was already asking my stronger students to demonstrate once, however, I wasn't taking part in that. I am going to use the
A+T
A+B
B+T strategy definetely.

Changing partners is another good idea. Some of my stronger students were completing the task earlier than their classmates. I did not know what to do with them. Now I am gonna ask them to change their pair. 4-3-2 strategy is also useful.

While we were covering the "flipped learning" reading task, I started to lose my interest during the 3rd pre task. I realized if we keep the pre-reading task longer, our learners may start to lose their interest.
In the afternoon session, adapting the text book activity, I have lost all my sceptism about flipped learning. We do not need to apply it all the time. However, we can use it.
I also had concerns about my students would not read it at home. IF they do not want to read, they don't read it in classroom either. So, we may try it.
Dear Postie was good as well!

Another productive day! Glad that you feel reassured about using authentic listening in class and that you enjoyed the demonstrated activities! They are learner-centred, personalised and materials-free, but they do require some preparation and planning, try to anticipate any problems and solutions there might be when setting them up and plan your instructions carefully.

I have always liked authentic materials in my listening courses. Learning that I am on the right path made me feel more emancipated. On the other hand, I also have remembered something that I had forgetten long ago: speaking activities involves lots of active thinking. This helped me a lot to change my perspective. I am also planning to share this with my students. Because when they know how they learn and why it is important to learn in this way raises their motivation.
I will also use "classroom memory game" and "somebody like me" activities in my speaking club! I love activities that do not require preperation :)

Welcome to the course! Glad you liked snack writing, you can also make it collaborative! You can start planning how you will incorporate it and make it a habit in your classroom.

Online writing tools are useful however we should be extremely careful about their usage. When using them it is more difficult to control if children are writing themselves or not. Some less motivated students may copy and paste or use online translation tools.
I have never learnt/thought about "snack" writing approach. Writing has always been writing long things. This has completely changed my perspective and I think this may change my colleagues' perspective as well.
