The document discusses how teachers can encourage language acquisition outside of the classroom. It recommends that teachers (1) encourage experimentation by having learners set goals for independent language practice, (2) provide resources for learners to practice on their own time, and (3) discuss learners' independent practice experiences in the classroom to maintain motivation. The goal is for teachers to act as enablers who facilitate additional language learning outside of instruction time through goal-setting, providing resources, and bringing the independent work back into class discussions.Sandra Luna

This document discusses providing students with feedback on their progress through learning logs and objectives. It includes examples of learning logs with objectives and tips set by both teachers and students. Feedback from students indicates that learning logs can help them reflect on progress but may not be useful if they forget or do not have time to fill them in. Students found feedback from the teacher moving around the class and helping to be very good. Overall, setting specific objectives and tips appears to help students focus on areas for improvement.Sandra Luna handout

Automated tools can provide timely feedback to students to support learning. Some options for automated feedback include using webcams or audio recordings to comment on students' work, leaving comments and review options in Microsoft Word, and utilizing features in learning management systems like Moodle for quizzes, assignments, and tracking grades. It is also helpful for teachers to build standard comment banks that can be adapted for providing feedback on questions, reports, and assignments to reduce the time spent while still personalizing feedback.Suzanne Goodwin

Aim: To practice vocabulary, all 12 tenses and conditional sentences (adjustable). To practice storytelling techniques (building suspense, flash-backs, flash-forwards, etc.)
Interaction: Groups of three or four
Exercise type: Speaking, storytelling
Time: 15 minutes
Language: Depends on the level of Students
Level: A2 - C2
Materials: 1 set, cut up per group (the set can include as many cards as you decide and may vary depending on the level of the students).
In this activity the students make a chain story, using the words and images on the cards, as well as the tenses or grammar structures indicated on them. With a little imagination and sense of humor from your students this game can get hilarious. If you want to emphasize the use of tenses and grammar structures, there is an extra tense component on each card, this component instructs the students not only to use a noun, a verb or an adjective on the card but to construct the sentence in a certain tense. This can bring into the story flash-backs and flash-forwards (so you may need to pre-teach these storytelling techniques first). Video in the classroom - a teacher handbook

This document discusses using action research for personal professional development. It explains that action research allows teachers to holistically investigate an area of their practice by identifying aspects to improve, implementing changes, and evaluating the results in an ongoing, cyclical process. The document contrasts mini projects, which focus on single items with short-term investigations, and long-term investigations that allow for exploring multiple topics simultaneously. Finally, it provides an example walkthrough of a mini-project on assessing learning and references for further reading on action research and professional development frameworks.Working with Images

1) Dogme classes focus on conversation-driven and emergent language rather than standardized exams, which allow little creativity and flexibility.
2) Exam classes have disadvantages like backwash effect, inflexible content, and artificial tasks, but can provide valid proficiency levels and skills applicable outside class.
3) Conversation-driven activities aim to relax students and build rapport to support language learning through discussion and scaffolding rather than exam practice.
4) Materials-light approaches address emergent needs through minimal resources and adapting activities based on student difficulties.Noreen Lam

The document discusses using more authentic and engaging audio materials in English lessons rather than typical lessons focused on listening comprehension questions. It suggests choosing audio that the teacher is personally interested in that is rich in imagery or themes to raise student curiosity. Examples of exploiting audio include practicing fluency in informal settings, Cambridge-style speaking activities, focusing on language upgrades, and creative activities like having students write their own scripts. It also presents the idea of incorporating phonology lessons on topics like weak forms, connected speech, and teaching diphthongs. The key message is to choose audio that both the teacher and students will find interesting and enjoyable.Nina jeroni

This document proposes using alternative charades instead of drilling for young language learners. It defines drilling as listening to a model and repeating what is heard, and discusses different types of drilling. The author suggests using charades to practice grammatical chunks and question-answer pairs as an engaging alternative to traditional drilling methods. The document concludes by inviting questions and providing contact information.Emily Lee

This document discusses the use of clines in language teaching. It begins by defining a cline as a scale of language items that goes from one extreme to another. Some examples of clines provided are from positive to negative, or from weak to strong. The document then provides reasons why clines are useful tools for language teaching, such as conveying meaning visually and highlighting shades of meaning. Finally, it gives some ideas for how to use clines in the classroom, such as creating a cline on the board and having students place language expressions along the scale.Rupert Locke

This document discusses using "cut ups", a technique where existing text is cut and rearranged to form new text, as a creative writing tool in the EFL classroom. It can make writing enjoyable for students by removing some of the pressure of creating entirely original content. Students are put in pairs and have them select lyrics from two songs to cut up and recombine, creating a new text. This allows for a fun, low-stress way for students to engage with writing and language construction.Ad

In the seventh century, the rule of Sindh state was in the hands of Rai dynasty. We know the names of five kings of this dynasty- Rai Divji, Rai Singhras, Rai Sahasi, Rai Sihras II and Rai Sahasi II. During the time of Rai Sihras II, Nimruz of Persia attacked Sindh and killed him. After the return of the Persians, Rai Sahasi II became the king. After killing him, one of his Brahmin ministers named Chach took over the throne. He married the widow of Rai Sahasi and became the ruler of entire Sindh by suppressing the rebellions of the governors. Optimization technique in pharmaceutical product development.pptx

Rice pests can significantly impact crop yield and quality. Major pests include the brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens), which transmits viruses like rice ragged stunt and grassy stunt; the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas), whose larvae bore into stems causing deadhearts and whiteheads; and leaf folders (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis), which feed on leaves reducing photosynthetic area. Other pests include rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae) and gall midges (Orseolia oryzae). Effective management strategies are crucial to minimize losses.Respiratory System , Urinary System

A 9th FREE WORKSHOP
Reiki - Yoga
Intuition-II, The Chakras
Your Attendance is valued.
We hit over 5k views for Spring Workshops and Updates-TY.
Thank you for attending our workshops.
If you are new, do welcome.
Grad Students: I am planning a Reiki-Yoga Master Course (As a package). Im Fusing both together.
This will include the foundation of each practice. Our Free Workshops can be used with any Reiki Yoga training package. Traditional Reiki does host rules and ethics. Its silent and within the JP Culture/Area/Training/Word of Mouth. It allows remote healing but theres limits As practitioners and masters, we are not allowed to share certain secrets/tools. Some content is designed only for Masters. Some yoga are similar like the Kriya Yoga-Church (Vowed Lessons). We will review both Reiki and Yoga (Master tools) in the Course upcoming.
S9/This Weeks Focus:
* A continuation of Intuition-2 Development. We will review the Chakra System - Our temple. A misguided, misused situation lol. This will also serve Attunement later.
Thx for tuning in. Your time investment is valued. I do select topics related to our timeline and community. For those seeking upgrades or Reiki Levels. Stay tuned for our June packages. Its for self employed/Practitioners/Coaches
Review & Topics:
* Reiki Is Japanese Energy Healing used Globally.
* Yoga is over 5k years old from India. It hosts many styles, teacher versions, and its Mainstream now vs decades ago.
* Anything of the Holistic, Wellness Department can be fused together. My origins are Alternative, Complementary Medicine. In short, I call this ND. I am also a metaphysician. I learnt during the 90s New Age Era. I forget we just hit another wavy. Its GenZ word of Mouth, their New Age Era. WHOA, History Repeats lol. We are fusing together.
* So, most of you have experienced your Spiritual Awakening. However; The journey wont be perfect. There will be some roller coaster events. The perks are: We are in a faster Spiritual Zone than the 90s. Theres more support and information available.
