Classroom Ideas - 11 ótimas ideias para você turbinar as suas aulas.

De planejamento a atividades práticas, o objetivo é que tanto você, quanto seus alunos tirem o máximo de proveito das aulas.

1. USE "PLANNING FILES" PARA ARQUIVAR SUAS AULAS PLANEJADAS 

Que tal ter seus planejamentos todos resumidos e guardados em um arquivo pessoal? 
A ideia é preencher fichas contendo os seguintes itens:

Games and Activties - 2

1. VOCABULARY DICE GAME


Para esse jogo, o professor seleciona uma quantidade de flashcards sobre o tema estudado. Esses flashcards podem ser confeccionados pelos próprios alunos. Logo após, os alunos sentam em círculo com os flashcards empilhados no centro. 

O primeiro aluno joga o dado e para cada número tirado, devem seguir as instruções:

Games and Activities - 1

O blog traz hoje uma postagem com ideias de jogos e atividades para tornar as aulas mais dinâmicas e animadas. 

1. COMIC STRIPS 

Tirinhas são super fáceis de encontrar. Que tal selecionar algumas, apagar os balões de diálogos e pedir aos alunos que escrevam suas próprias histórias? No final todas podem fazer parte de um comic book (revista em quadrinhos) coletivo.

2. FISH BOWL GAME

FARM ANIMALS - Teaching Topics

Teaching Topics

O professor pode iniciar a aula trabalhando com flashcards para introduzir o novo vocabulário 
(What's this? / It's a _____.). 

Você pode fazer os flashcards com seus alunos, ou imprimi-los de sites como o docstoc ou o eslprintables, que também traz várias atividades para imprimir.





Dicas para Quem Estuda Inglês



Algumas dicas para quem deseja fazer um curso de inglês :

5 segredos para ser um ótimo professor de inglês!



1 – Foque-se em como aprender inglês e como você vai passar isso ao aluno
A primeira dica eu considero a mais importante de todas. Você precisa focar no “como aprender inglês” e como você vai passar isso para os seus alunos. Com isso eu quero dizer que, muitos professores de inglês, uma grande parte na verdade, se focam e dar boas aulas, em criar materiais e aulas legais e divertidas, o que na prática não muito resultado. Ao fazer isso você não estará se focando no aluno, no que o aluno quer saber, mas sim focando em si próprio. Você pode até preparar uma aula muito divertida com música e tudo mais, porém no final das contas o resultado que o aluno está buscando não será alcançado. Este é um erro muito comum entre professores.

Nunca é tarde para aprender


Aprender uma nova língua já na fase adulta, seja para se qualificar profissionalmente ou mesmo para satisfazer a vontade de entender um filme sem legendas ou cantarolar uma música estrangeira, é mais comum do que se pensa. 

Emoji in class... Emoji lesson plan

1 What your emoji says about you

Begin by asking students which emoji they think they use the most (assuming that the majority of students do use or have used emoji, that is). They can call this out, explaining what it is in English. You may even want to start by saying what your most commonly used emoji is (mine is the face with tears of joy, by the way).

Writing Jar





The idea here is to have a jar full of writing prompts, the ones I’ve included have a big range. I tried to include thought-provoking, serious, funny and creative,  so that each time they reach into the jar they’ll be challenged with a different kind of writing and style. It helps keep it from being boring and exposes them to lots of different ways of writing. Of course you can fill it with your own prompts… whatever works for your homeschool.

Here’s a few tips for using the jar & prompts
#1- “Why? is implied” – There are some prompts like, “What is your favorite song?” Or “Write about someone who inspires you.” Or  “If you could only say 20 words for the rest of your life what would you pick?” They don’t all have “Why?” written after them. I told the boys that if there is one where “Why?” makes sense at the end of it that is part of the question.

33 WAYS TO SPEAK BETTER ENGLISH – without taking classes


When we communicate effectively we are able to express our ideas and opinions, share experiences, and build relationships with others. When we struggle to express ourselves, we feel unvalued and insecure. As human beings, we want to participate in group discussions and have an impact on the society around us. Well, English teachers and English classes definitely help. But, studying English for a few hours a week may not improve your spoken English very much.
What you need is to become a self-directed learner, somebody who takes responsibility for their own learning and creates their own learning programme to develop their English.
Here are 11 (OUT OF 33) ways to speak better English, without going to classes.
1. Record yourself speaking English. Listening to yourself can be strange at first but you get used to it. Listen to a recording of a fluent English speaker (a short audio file) and then record yourself repeating what they said. Compare the difference and try again. Humans are natural mimics so you will find yourself getting better and better. Soundcloud ttps://soundcloud.com/ is an excellent tool for voice recording as you or your teacher can make notes about your errors.
2. Read aloud, especially dialogue. Reading aloud is not the same as speaking naturally. However, it is very useful for exercising the vocal muscles. Practise for 5 or 10 minutes a day and you will begin to notice which sounds are difficult for you to produce. Find transcripts of natural dialogues, such as these here http://www.teacherjoe.us/NYBJ.html, and practise acting them with a friend, you will also learn common phrases which we use when speaking.
3. Sing along to English songs while you’re driving or in the shower. The lyrics to pop songs are often conversational so you can learn lots of common expressions by listening to them. Humans are also able to remember words when used together with music which is why it is difficult to remember poems but easy to remember the words to songs. Here are some songs to get started with. http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/phonemic-ch..
