Wordwall - match the pairs

To introduce vocabulary, provide a wordwall where they have to flip cards and form pairs with words and their definitions, which will require them to use their knowledge and logic. After they complete the activity, ask them to create sentences with some of their words and include them in an impromptu conversation.

Something that our books lack is activities that promote the use of the new vocabulary in speaking activities. When possible (because of time reasons, specially with SIA courses), I try to give them a short list of questions for a speaking activity, using the vocabulary they have in the book. I use Chat GPT to generate a list of questions or even to generate a short text (1 or 2 paragraphs) that they will have to complete later. For example:

WE1. Unit 5A: speaking (vocabulary in use: sports): https://wordwall.net/resource/72988863

Pre listening: Have the students watch some pictures first to associate what they will listen to the vocabulary, create a list of their daily routines before watching a video about daily routines.

Predicting listening:

we can have some prompt for the students to fill some gaps

During the listening instead of doing the whole listening, we can stop it to check if they are getting the idea, so they can have time to get the information, and we can check if they are understanding. what could have been done differently: Using edpuzzle to chunk the video and have the students focus on specific vocabulary, infer words, and focus on content, critical thinking rather than just listening comprehension.

Post listening: Compare with their classmates the order they do their daily routines based on the prompts provided by the teacher for example, First, I take a shower, and then I have breakfast.

Application: Also they imagine they are a famous person, so they interview each other and then they report to the class to practice the 3rd person conjugation.

Other Dynamic activities:

Talk with other people not only in pairs. pair them by hobbies

find someone who.. To use adverbs of frequency, you can ask questions like, "Do you always take a shower at night?"

mini surveys to get to know your classmate habits before the listening. For example How much time do you use on... how long do you..._ How often do you.._
