      Colleen has presented on the Mirroring Project in some of my classes. It seems to have impressive results for international students' pronunciation and presentation skills.
  • Step 1: Identify major pronunciation challenge

      The goal here is for the international student to copy the TED speaker as much as possible. They should think about pronunciation, intonation, stress, and gesture.

    From the website: Use BlueHarvest to help students with pronunciation and oral examinations by recording audio straight from your desktop. Upload your standards, so that students know what vocab, grammar and cultural standards you want them to focus on. Provide feedback by standard.

    I am always looking for ways to provide useful feedbacks to students, and this seems like a great tool to do exactly that. Thank you for sharing.

    I like to share this blog with teachers who are teaching Chinese.  It has many great apps and creative tools to help students learning Pinyin, which can be the most difficult initial hurdle to get over in learning Chinese.

  •  Still, the students liked it and I was able to get a good sense of where student mastery of the material was and I gleaned which students need to focus where in terms of pronunciation and basic grammar.  I will do this again.
  • It is good for me to see that even when there is no grade riding on it, students still watch one another’s videos: in other words, they want to watch each other.  I can’t speculate as to what drives that, but as an instructor, I am pleased simply that they do it.

  • communication and new technologies can certainly facilitate this essential aspect through, for example, videoconferencing and blogging. There are also lots of ways of recording and editing audio as a method of improving pronunciation, boosting learner confidence, extending speaking skills and deepening understanding. Filmmaking and animation also draw on a variety of useful skills and promote creativity, collaboration and personalised learning.
  • Technology is not going away and language teachers need to embrace its full potential to engage our 21st century learners.

  •  65 percent of your students are visual learners, according to research

      This assures me that using visual aides helps the students learn a language and that technology can enhance the effective use of visual materials, making it easier to access to the authentic and latest videos and photos.
  • If you’re using new technology, give it a trial run. It’s hard to imagine anything less engaging for students than sitting around waiting while you try to load that video over a poor internet connection or figure out all the glitches with that awesome online game.Do your trial and error ahead of time, before you’re demonstrating media to the class.

      While I agree with this, at some point you need a test group. I always try things out first with a section that I know can take a couple of glitches in stride.

      I wish we had enough time to trial everything in advance! Plus, the issue is something might work when you trial it but not at the right time...
  • And one of the best ways to access them is with an innovative tool called FluentU.

      It seems that this feature regarding definitions is a step above ThinkLink...is this right? I would love to try this tool in conjunction with ThinkLink to see where I can get the most of what I need for my students.
