Dear All,
today we are going to practice doing a number of activities for the development of the learners' listening and speaking skills.
The first task is for us to prepare a tour of your favorite website the purpose of which is to let them learn about an interesting and useful resource and combine it with the development of the Learners' study skills.
To illustrate, I'd like my learners to get acquainted with the website: HEADS UP ENGLISH which has a broad selection of topics for discussion in the categories listed below
| A Few Questions for Christmas |
| A Habit is a Nasty Thing |
| All About Illnesses |
| Change with the Times |
| Crimes |
| Danger and Risk |
| Dreams and Nightmares |
| Food for Thought, Thoughts on Food |
| Happy New Year! |
| Heroes |
| Ireland, Irish, and St. Patrick's Day |
| It's Time to Relax |
| Lies and Ethics |
| Money |
| Natural Disasters |
| Politics |
| Reality TV |
| Science and Technology |
| That's Entertainment |
| The Family |
| The Future |
| The Olympics |
| The Past |
| What If...? |
| What's Your Personality? for my tour I have chosen the topic Change with the Times and what I'd like my learners to do is look through the questions listed on this page and choose one to talk about. They should talk continuously for 1 min, record their answer and upload it into the course's blog. Next, the students should listen to the recording one of their peers prepared and share their reflection about what they will have heard in the course's blog thread or record their answer and upload it on the course's learning environment. Questions: What skills do you think the Ls will develop? How will they benefit from this activity? What kind of problems do you foresee (if any)? What is your plan B? Any additional comments? |
