Apps such as quizzlet, duolingo, kahoot or blooket could be used as out-of class activities. Reading (short) stories in the targeted language or watching videos could be interesting as well.

I used a lot quizzlet for a german class that I took during my erasmus in Boston. Currently I use duolingo. I am not a fan of the app, but it is a good way to start a language.

Students could be asked to create a padlet on a given topic (for a group activity) which could be creative or/and informative,or they could be asked to create a quizz using quizzlet

I would recommend them to watch YouTube videos in English about topics they like, or to find an English singer that they enjoy and discover their songs, what they mean, etc. Duolingo is a great app as well and, if given the case, even TikTok can be useful if they follow creators who use English and make their content in that language.

I would recommend my students to involve in collaborative online quizzes or participate in forums to discuss cultural topics.

Apps like Duolingo, Drops, and Quizlet allow students to practice language skills through interactive quizzes, games, and videos on topics they enjoy. Also, platforms like YouTube and TikTok can be used to explore cultural content and improve listening skills by watching videos in the target language.

Collaborative tools such as Padlet and online forums can facilitate discussions on all topics, allowing students to share their opinions and learn from each other. These activities foster engagement and make language learning more enjoyable and interactive.

One digitally mediated out-of-class activity is creating a digital vocabulary journal where students use an app like Quizlet to record new words, add definitions, and create flashcards for self-study.

Some digital mediated out-of-class activities could be listening to Podcasts, using apps such as Duolingo, watching videos from Youtube, and listening to songs.

Students could record short video or audio diaries in the target language using their smartphones. They could talk about their day, reflect on their learning, or discuss a current event. These recordings can then be shared with classmates for feedback.

Digitally mediated out-of-class activities for language learners include language exchanges (Tandem), vocabulary apps (Quizlet), video journals (Flipgrid), authentic content (YouTube), blogging, quizzes (Kahoot!), and collaborative document editing (Google Docs), providing diverse ways to practice language skills outside the classroom.

Many books nowadays (or schools) have their own apps or offer a keyword to access their digital material and cover it at your own pace. The teacher can always see the student's progress on these apps/environments. They are similar to Duolingo but adapted to what you are seeing in class and typically offer a lot of extra videos and resources that are great for students to work on their own.

There are only many online libraries such as e-Reader with free access to their content (texts and also audio). The teacher could provide students with places to discuss on their own, like for example a Padlet or forum.

One short digitally mediated out-of-class activity that could be done with high level students could be asking them to read the English version menus from restaurants they usually go to (if there is one) and check if that is real English or if it has been translated with an AT tool. I have come across some 'angry potatoes' and 'jews with chorizo' in some places.

They could listen to podcasts, watch Youtube videos on a topic of their interest or movies/series in their original language, listening to music, etc. Even using social media and consuming content in the target language could be helpful

Some activities they could easily incorporate on their daily basis is changing the language on their phones to English. Doing so, they will get more used to seeing thinigs in English. Another good example, which I think is one of the most effective one is waatching series and movies in English. This is super effective and their ear gets super used to different languages and also when they start to reproduce (speaking skill) they will perform much better than those who don't do this.

Some activities that can be incorporated outside of class are very simple and that we do every day, such as listening to music or watching series. Instead of doing it in our language, we can change it to the target language and look at the type of structures, the vocabulary they use, among other aspects.

There are also some interactive games such as Duolingo that can be useful to complement the learning process.

Students could use Flipgrid to record a video diary on a specific topic, like “My weekend plans” or “A memorable trip.” They would upload their videos and then comment on their classmates’ posts, practicing speaking and listening skills. This activity encourages both reflection and interaction while allowing students to express themselves creatively.

Some activities that can be incorporated could be watching some TV series or films in the original language or listening to some podcasts on topics of their interest or songs from singers they like. Furthermore, using some mobile apps such as Duolingo is also useful or even following different content creators on social media that focus on teaching a language.

The first thing I would recommend is to see English movies with the original version and subtitles. Listening to English songs at the same time that you see the lyrics. Video games. I would never recommend Podcasts because I hate them, but anything that is interesting for the individual could be helpful as long as it is also enjoyable.

I would recommend my students to watch content they like in English, such as fitness or video games. Also, if possible, watch series with subtitles or try to watch cartoons in English without subtitles, since the language is simpler.

Ana R (UV)

2024-11-20 17:35:35 UTC

I would recommend my students to consume all content in English, whether watching TV, videos and films, listening to music and podcasts, or even following English-speaking influencers and streamers. Also, a very good tip is to change the language setting on electronic devices, such as mobile phones and computers, to English.
