Teaching Methods

Formative assessment constitutes the comprehension checks that should be done frequently throughout the lesson. Simply stated: “Do the students understand what you are talking about? Are the students with you? Do they get it?” Here are numerous ways to check that students understand, be it in the target language or English. These were presented in an EdWeb webinar January 21 by Barbara Cotter. EdWed http://home.edweb.net offers LOTS of free webinars on many topics: Assessment, Tech Tools, New Teachers, etc.  Most are very good. People join from all over the world.

Speaking Activities

·         Picture Partners - Students work in pairs. One student faces the screen in the front of the room and the other has their back to it. The student that sees the pictures describes the picture in the target language to the other student who draws what is described to them. The drawing student is able to ask questions, but all communication must take place in the target language. Use these visuals if you want - http://bit.ly/SpeakingPicturePartners

·         Speed Dating – for levels 1 – 6 Lower levels are very literal and need time to prep, but upper levels get a shorter prep time and can use alter-egos instead of their true personality. Set up the room with long tables with girls on one side and boys on the other so they are facing each other. *Side note - if you don't have equal numbers, make sure you choose those students that are up for anything to be on the opposite team. http://bit.ly/SpeakingSpeedDating 

·         Photography Stories - Divide the students into different groups of 2 to 4 students. Give each group a photograph. The photos can be of landscapes, street scenes, fammily scenes, school scenes, news clippings, etc. Students then work together to come up with stories about the picture. Each student creates a sentence, and the others need to build on it. Stories might be wild but students stay in target language. Thanks to http://spanishflippedclass.blogspot.com/p/great-classroom-activities.htm  

·         Movie Talk - How to MovieTalk Instead of a reading or a story with live actors in TPRS methods, you use circling techniques and discuss what is visible on the screen (NOT the dialogue). http://martinabex.com/teacher-training/movietalk

·         30 Seconds – teacher makes up vocabulary word cards in target language. Class is divided into two or more teams. Team A starts when person 1 has to describe what is written on the card without using English. They don’t have to use complete sentences. If the person describing the word, uses English or a form of the word, the other team must catch it and they get the point. Either team can guess the word. The team’s turn is over if they can’t guess the word in 30 seconds. Rotate teams and person giving hints. Team with the most points wins. http://creativelanguageclass.com/2012/02/18/idea-37-30-seconds-a-circumlocution-speaking-game/

·         Left, Right, Center Dice Game – Play the traditional dice and counters game with the goal of solidifying student’s ability to easily say ‘to the right’ , ‘to the left’ and ‘in the middle’ so that students can easily describe locations of objects in the classroom, in the house, in the city, in the bedroom, etc. http://creativelanguageclass.com/2012/02/09/idea-29-shootin-dice-to-learn-location/
