http://www.livesofteachers.com/2010/06/04/a-class-with-no-teacher-part-two-feedback-and-reflection
The lives of teachers. Teaching and learning languages. A class with no teacher part two – feedback and reflection. About a week ago I wrote about an experiment in silence. With a class, and promised to come back with a report on the students’ reactions. It really was quite enlightening. This is what we all learnt. 1 A particular result may not mean what you think it means. 8220;We actually thought that you were angry at us and abandoned us because we use too much Japanese in class.”. Of course, anyone w...

ESL vs. “Hamlet” – the remix (part 1) | The Tesla Coil
https://theteslacoil.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/esl-vs-“hamlet”-–-the-remix-part-1
February 22, 2010. ESL vs. Hamlet the remix (part 1). 8212; Sputnik @ 1:18 pm. O, that this too too solid flesh would melt. Thaw and resolve itself into a dew! A) the wish of a snowman with an itch? B) the thought of an IATEFL speaker just before they are due to give a paper? C) a Shakespearean conceit which may prove instructive to ESL teachers? Pity poor Shakespeare. Here he was with a superlative plot for a play about a man who thinks rather than acts, and yet, how could he show it? As the great Henry...

DELTA Module 3 | A Hive of Activities
https://hiveofactivities.wordpress.com/2015/06/05/delta-module-3
A Hive of Activities. Tried and tested ELT ideas. June 5, 2015. Middot; by Emma Gore-Lloyd. Middot; in DELTA. Middot; 3 Comments. Wow, I haven’t posted ALL YEAR. There are two main reasons for this: 1) if there was time to do extra-curricular writing, it meant there was time to write my extended assignment (I’ve used that excuse a lot); 2) I moved to a new city and a new job, and it took a bit of time to find my feet. So, what can I say about DELTA module 3? 1 What was your lightbulb moment? Realising th...

Nik's QuickShout: Crazy Comparatives & Superlatives
http://quickshout.blogspot.com/2009/10/crazy-comparatives-superlatives.html
Educational Technology and ELT. My Books and Lesson Plans. Thursday, 8 October 2009. Crazy Comparatives and Superlatives. I have to say that I used to dread teaching comparatives and superlatives and always found it really hard to think of something original to get my students interested, so when I saw this site I was really delighted. It's not only quite funny, but has some excellent materials for covering what can be a really dull language point. The site is called the Universal Record Database. Get st...

How to deal with non-conventional language? | Just a Word
https://justawordinthegrandstory.wordpress.com/2014/09/25/how-to-deal-with-non-conventional-language
Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. To change the world. How to deal with non-conventional language? September 25, 2014. This post for you is a pondering. I’d love to hear some thoughts on this question, and see how the ESL world plans to approach the phenomenon of a quickly developing language. Can I selfie with him? I smiled to myself, made a note of the funny usage of ‘selfie’ and carried on with the trip. What would you do? I’m guessing that I would generally choose the first optio...
