"What A Wonderful World" -LOUIS ARMSTRONG (Best English Music/Songs/Movi...


Week 10 I admire the course, our teachers, my group! Before the course I had a lot of questions how to teach my students efficiently, what kind of learning environment to create for my students where they will enjoy their learning,what sites to use to improve students'language skills. With the help of the course I have answered all my questions. Our work is very important.We have learned with the interactive web.It is a great work for me.We have learned the questions of the course and improved our language skills,our multiple intelligences. We have been responsible for our autonomous learning,share our ideas,solutions. We have worked in collaboration. We have had the learning environment,CALL which I will try to create for my learners the next year. A lot of important themes we have learned! The ABCD Model for Behavioral Objectives will help me to design my lessons. It will be easier for my students to comprehend what they will do at the lesson, to do the tasks effectively and to evaluate themselves. I have learned the excellent tools Google maps,Nicenet,Wiki,Blog,a lot of sites to practice reading, writing,vocabulary,grammar,pronunciation skills of my students. We have planned lessons.I like the plans of my colleagues and I have had a great chance to analize my planning comparing it with the planning of my colleagues and with the planning suggested on sites. We have learned and discussed Project-based learning, we have created our projects with technology and it is a great work of all my classmates. And next year our students will create knowledge and understanding through learning activities built around intellectual inquiry and a high degree of engagement with meaningful tasks. Now I know how to use hyperlinks in PPP.The PPP of my classmates are very beautiful and useful for their students to learn with technology. I can to create tests and make them comfortable in use with the help of hyperlinks. ANVILL is an excellent virtual language lab. Delicious is delicious!!! It is my bibliography, plan of my working. It is my conclusion what you did,do and will do. Learning styles,multiple intelligences,learning strategies are the themes which help us to create a fruitful learning environment for students. So all themes are very important.They offer logical, systematic, specific lessons. Our students will be initiative, they will be able to control their learning and so they will be responsible for their mastering the material presented by them. Our students will be involved, they will be active, there won't be problems for involving, motivating students,for teaching large classes. The sites, the whole material of the course will help me to practice interaction of my learners, to create situations for real communication of my learners,to strengthen their communication skills. The technology is the best tool to teach modern learners to have advanced language skills,to develop their communicative competence and to be successfully adapted in the modern world. Thank you for the course! Thank you for your sharing ideas, for your fruitful work, my colleagues!

Week9 The video song is about multiple intelligences. I like the song very much. I would like to see Mr.Gardner and found the video with his thoughts about multiple intelligences. I hope you will like watching the videos.

Multiple Intelligence Song

Howard Gardner of The Multiple Intelligence Theory

Week 9 If our students have these and other worries we can help them with technology. I like the learning strategies. The strategies help our learners to organize their learning and they learn with awareness and with awareness they will be able to get rid of these worries, for example. Learning styles of our students are important to know and to create a fruitful learning environment for students. I think the usage of the technology in teaching English is the best tool to develop our students’ multiple intelligences. http://esl.about.com/od/grammarlessons/a/compsuper.htm The site helps our students to practice to use the comparative and superlative forms correctly. Students are learning how to express their opinion or make comparative judgments. The following lesson focuses on first building understanding of the structure - and of the similarity between the two forms - inductively, as most students are at least passively familiar with the forms. The second phase of the lesson, focuses on using the comparative and superlative forms actively in small group conversation. I like the theme and I learn a lot of new about teaching with technology. I admire and enjoy my autonomous learning now!

Teaching resources

Week 8

I have spent a lot of time on project work.Excellent time!
I will send my comments on Jessica's draft soon.
ANVILL is an excellent virtual language lab.But I couldn’t take part in our Webinar. I am so sorry. I had been waited for the blackboard being uploaded for the whole period of our time. I hope I will be lucky next time!
Who was a lucky person to be in Webinar?
With the help of Voiceboard I can create spoken language tasks for my students. It is an excellent tool for listening comprehension, for pronunciation skills.

Livechat is an excellent tool for conferencing. Besides I can use it for students’ text, audio, video chats.

With the help of TCasts I won’t use a separate audio editor for recording. It’s great!

I like all teaching tools very much!
Hot potatoes will help me to create tests, crosswords, grammar exercises to practice my students’ grammar, language skills. It is an excellent tool to save my time.
Sites, blogs, a lot of new, efficient tools to teach my students with technology!
This is video about our theme, about our teaching.
Have a good time!
