ELT GLOSSARY

ELT terms - defined and referenced!

Accuracy

Accuracy describes the ability to write or speak a foreign language without making grammatical, vocabulary, spelling or pronunciation mistakes. It is often contrasted with fluency. Classroom activities are sometimes categorised into those that promote fluency and those that promote accuracy.

Example

"She makes lots of grammar and pronunciation mistakes – her speech isn’t very accurate; but she speaks so fluently and expressively that everyone understands her."

Acquisition

The way in which languages are learnt unconsciously or ‘picked up’ by exposure to comprehensible input. In this definition, the term acquisition is used in contrast to learning, which is seen as a deliberate and conscious process of rule learning and self-monitoring of language use. However the terms acquisition and learning are used interchangeably by some writers.

Example

"She learnt Portuguese simply through acquisition – hearing and reading it all around her and chatting with friends. She never studied it."

#Classroom #routines and #procedures

Morning Routine

- How to politely enter and exit the classroom

- Where to put backpack, coat, etc.

- How to do lunch count if your school does that

#Printable #Time #Telling #Game

To play this game you will need 3 dices (can also use 4), preferably in two different colors. You could also use less dices and have the kids throw them multiple times. We used two red ones for hours and a white one for minutes (each number meaning 10 minutes). As kids throw dices they have to push the hands of the watch to match the hour and minutes on dices.

Like we threw 3 (red dices) and 4 – that translates to 3:40!

Now if you want to give this game a goal you can write down a few different times kids must “score”

Easy method: Kids must hit a time between 03:30 to 4:00

Hard method: Exact times – like 10:20
