  • GREAT !!!!

  • Thanks to this tool is easier to determine de faults during planing. For exemple : I had to split this first lesson plan into two lessons because its too much information for level A1

  • Hello dear colleages , this is my lesson plan

  • @AnnaClaraLottiSouto So let’s say my objective is that I want you to take me seriously. How I go about that might vary from to scare, to comfort, to appeal or to amaze. There are any number of possibilities– –and each one will make you approach your objective in a different way. The objective is the same but your behavior changes.

  • An active verb is a clear action that involves doing something to someone with the purpose of affecting them in some way.

    This course is the practical solution to all the theory I had to study during my master fle (french as a foreign language), like the TRIANGLE DE HOUSAYE + Théorie générale de la recherche en didactique des langues-cultures. Essai by Christian Puren

  • THE MUSIC OF THIS VIDEO IS TOO LOUD

  • while i'm listening to a student, I write down the correct forms of the errors the students make
    I don't write down their errors
    at the end we practice the good way (I'm a french teacher)

    and it's impossible for a human being to correct by himself all at once
    maybe the most important errors during an immediate error correction

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!

    (E) After walking a short distance, she stopped for a drink.
    (I) Then she rang her father and told him she would be home after hiking.

  • I think this topic is very useful in online courses but on Instagram nobody cares. I've seen very rude comments. Everything is going so fast. People don't stop to give their opinion. That is what I've seen.

  • This is not new for me. I've strugled a lot with a past research online. I have to develop my critical thinking and as there is a wider range of sources in English, I must make a effort to read all these sources. That would be the things I'll do differently.

    I could look for online tools to help me with the note taking.

  • The most useful types of sources are the ones that come from my fellow researchers that have faced the same research question in their work field.

    What do you hope to find in your searches? The eLearning and the effective teaching tools

  • very useful

  • How would you describe your current approach to online research? I spent an enormous amount of time searching and not always judging properly want I found. By the end of this course, I would like to develop an effective technique as well to develop a critical thinking in this topic.

  • marienta gago made a comment

    I'm a French professor and I would like to conduct my own research plan. I'm concerned about developping autonomy tools for my students. Is there a way to conduct a research without being forced to continually go backwards in order to continually reorganise. Can we go calmly towards the final goal? I finished a one year project without having a good...

  • Hello Mr. Henry Reece (Chief Executive of OUP (2004))
    Which bookshop do you prefer, the small ones?
    What do you think about people reading e-books?
    When are people stop reading paper books?
    Where are you working now? In 2004, you were in London.

  • I almost never fill a paper form. I do that online.

  • I ate lunch

  • I'm Annie. I'm an American portrait photographer. I did a lot of unconventional shots of celebrities. There is one of Demi Moore pregnant. I didn't know that this photo was going to be a sensational cover.
    On week- ends , I love painting but I don't have any wish to be doing anything else than photography. (Speak up 1993).

  • marienta gago made a comment

    He relaxed on Sunday

  • Like everybody on Earth, he misses his family and friends.

  • He had covid because he didn't respect the lockdown rules

  • Did you decide to keep photography extremely simple?
    Did they give you more than fifteen minutes?
    Did you know that it was going to be a special cover?

  • Annie did not stop in La Paz in 1994. She was touring Europe.
    She didn't learn to photograph in a conventional way.
    Keith Richards did not look directly into the camera.
    Speak up magazine - 1993

  • I went to Ireland. There is a new high-speed ship so it took me 1 hour 50 minutes to get there. The trip started in Holyhead (Wales) and finished in Dun Laoghaire (Ireland). It was very sunny and people were so happy because Covid had just disapeard from the planet.

  • Mo went to a wedding and Nadia worked a lot. Next week end , they could go to Windsor Castle . It is free if they buy the Great British Heritage Pass (1993). Women work a lot at home these days. Next week end, Mo will cook some tasty food for the family so Nadia could have a different week-end.

  • I'm Ms. Annie Leibovitz and today I'm taking photos for ROLLING STONE magazine (1975).

    Today , I'm in Milan. There is an exhibition of my one hundred and forty-five photos (1994).

  • Hello! I'm Marienta. I come from Macondo, a forgotten country of the seventeenth century. I love to study English in my free time.

  • This course is about to finish for me.
    Sadly, my English level doesn’t allow me to write poetry. If there is a second edition, I will certainly come back.
    Therefore, I was very happy unfolding all the material that was accurately presented here by the professors of the University of York. Thank you all. I’m very grateful.
    WHAT IS YOUR OVERALL HIGHLIGHT...

  • HOW HAVE YOU USED THESE TAXONOMIES ALREADY IN YOUR TEACHING?
    Using authentic resources in teaching/learning foreign language could be the right starting point with these taxonomies. First, the teacher has to “Adapt the task, not the text.” https://wlclassroom.com/2021/03/08/authenticresources/

    Second: Many tasks could be adapted to one of the texts that...

  • OR PERHAPS THERE ARE SOME IDEAS HERE WHICH YOU HAD ALREADY INCLUDED?
    In teaching/learning foreign languages, there is the action-oriented approach, which is focused on accomplishing a task rather than attaining a linguistic perfection. The task is related to the real life like organising a party or agreeing on the best restaurant in the city. Students are...

  • @KonstantinaIoannou Thank you very much!!! I'm delighted to discover in English all these amazing sources of knowledge. I would say that they are much more profuse than in French.

  • I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THIS ANSWER: What ways have you found that are effective in developing students resilience, and self-belief? But I could say the following:

    Teachers must develop first their resilience and self-belief because they “are planting trees under whose shade they'll never sit” It is the nature of this profession that there is no tangible...

  • The books I read during the first lockdown, last year (march 2020), were the first three books of CARLOS CASTANEDA: The Teachings of Don Juan, A Separate Reality and Journey to Ixtlan. After this books, the world doesn't seem the same. Castaneda knows how to hypnotize the reader with his simple writing. I would like to know if these books are better in English...

  • WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE. HOW WOULD YOU ADAPT AND USE THIS IDEA IN YOUR OWN CONTEXT?
    Before using a PYRAMID OF LEARNING, I would analyse the performances of every student to clarify me my lesson plan or highlight the goal of the pyramid.

    Time flows rapidly during online lessons, so I would create a shorter “flowchart” with different kind of activities from...

  • The PACE model in foreign language teaching starts with the PRESENTATION of an authentic text or a recycled storyline. The teacher presents it in a motivated way. It is a text that highlights a skill or a grammar point. The A of PACE means ATTENTION. Students pay attention to what has been established as a goal at the beginning of the lesson. The C is for...

  • Subject: grammar
    Topic: the complement pronouns
    The practicalities of managing the ideas : with lessons online, I coud provide two different levels of difficulty. Students could choose the level of difficulty.
    The challenge for the students: writing / oral production about a new topic - using the complement pronouns.
    Questions about this approach: Are...

  • I usually show them their improvements in listening or reading comprehension. I make them to listen previous dialogues so they can tell their progress.

  • AUTONOMY

  • As Natalia Frias comented, I show them that I really care. I don't work with children. I provide an organized lesson with at least four steps so the students could follow later as a guide for further revisions.

  • Hello @JaneWinter . NEUROLEARNING: Maybe I translated it directly from Spanish : neuroaprendizaje. It is the science of learning: neuroscience and education. JAVIER ALDANA on FACEBOOK has an open acount about this fascinating subject. And on Futur learn there is : The Science of Learning National STEM Learning Centre

  • I use JAMBOARD in my lessons online. Students can write, answer, order dialogues or figures on it. It is like a thinking organiser. Where DO the students go next in their learning? I would like them to come back to this board and recreate new dialogues. Are they going to do that? That is a good question =)))

  • After a reading, I've used TRUE OR FALSE, "challenge the teacher with questions", "re-establish the true". These activities allow them to re-use their knowlegde.

  • Scaffolds are always at the beginning of every activity. For example, photos, sharing personal experiences or doing global listening in order to highlight what they know. Scaffolds in the middle : filling or sharing detailed information.

  • In the classroom, there are “More Knowledgeable OtherS” than me. Students tend to help each other during lessons. I "disappear" many times during lessons to let them work freely and complete different types of activitíes.

  • What factors helped you master this learning? The hurry of seeing an immediate result - the commitment - the passion - and no help in sight. Students must understand that the effort is up to them and we teachers have to learn how to trigger their effort ... at least in the beginning.

  • Fine-tune observation and self-observation in classroom by applying the best strategies supported by neurolearning

  • @ClaireLevesque C'est une bonne idée!!! Merci beaucoup!!!

  • Almost everything was new to me. I really enjoyed it

    I am very grateful to the professors who dedicated their wisdom and hours to prepare this course.

  • IS ALL POETRY EFFECTIVELY A DISCUSSION?
    Definitely yes
    PLATH and SEXTON chose a private discussion
    FORREST-THOMSON chose a theoretical discussion
    CARSON and RANKINE chose an inclusive discussion with their society, with minorities, claiming for justice.

  • IN OTHER WORDS, DOES HIS POEM GUIDE OR SHAPE YOUR INTERPRETATION OF WHAT YOU ARE SEEING?
    In 3.15, we are asked if poetry is more important than visual art. This question made me think about a film called WORDS AND PICTURES. Did you see it? Clive Owen is Jack Marcus, “a writer and poet who teaches the advanced writing class”. And Juliette Binoche is Dina...

  • WHAT DOES CARSON’S SEARCH FOR A POEM THAT CAN HELP HER TO EXPRESS … ?
    I think that only time can help we humans to endure grief at our lost loves. She is an artist and she uses her own experience in her creative work : “Carson’s first entry in “Nox” displays a characteristic combination of the lyric and the gnomic: “I wanted to fill my elegy with light of all...

  • WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT TRANSLATING POETRY - DOES IT CHANGE THE POEM?
    Translating a poem definitely changes it. That’s not worth it. A translated poem becomes a shadow from the original. However, if a translation must be done, there are steps to be followed. For example, the translator must be aware about the “register, style, mood and cultural references of...

  • HAD YOU READ ANY OF CIARAN CARSON’S POETRY BEFORE?
    A few hours ago, I read CAMPAING. It made me think about that military who smashed the fingers of a young Venezuelan violinist … and the people continues to fly away.

In one hand, the large number of names in CORDELIA ... seemed to me in bad taste. In the other hand, it gave me a clue: What does she want to tell? Where does she want to go? As I read, she wanted to prove her theory of...

  • "In general, intertextuality is defined as the relation between one text and its pretext. You can say that intertextuality is a text overlapping phenomenon. So every text has its precursors to which it is referring in formal as well as in pragmatic aspects. Therefore you can subdivide intertextuality in two dimensions: a vertical one, that is classifiable and...

  • DO YOU THINK ‘TIME’ IS AN INEVITABLE PART OF A FORM LIMITED TO 14 LINES?
    Yes. Definitely. There is a timing within a sonnet: The sonetist has to circumscribe his ideas with coherence following an order to present them trough an introduction, a development, a denouement and a conclusion. For example, Quevedo shows in this poem (DICHOSO PUEDES, TÁNTALO,...

  • I’ve seen that there is a sonetist every now and then during history who rescues sonnets from fading. It is not a mass phenomenon because of this demanding technique where the poet must master a huge amount of words and also must have a great deal of patient or passion to build HYPERBATS, to DETUNE words or maybe watch out to the STICHOMYTHIA =))) (WHAT DO...

  • AS A READER, DOES IT HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE TRADITIONS THAT UNDERPIN THE POEMS YOU READ?
    With poetry, there is no a literal meaning like in prose. The poets show “an insight into the inner workings of their mind, their ideas, their loves and hates” and it’s up to the reader to figure out the figurative meaning of the poem. The more the reader is informed...

  • Poetry seems to be useless now in contemporary times. According to A.E. Stalling “poetry was around before the alphabet and there is even a theory that the Greek alphabet was invented for the purpose of recording”. In other ages, like Romantic period, poets like "Shelley and Keats were the 19th century equivalents or rock musicians". Therefore, Stalling thinks...
