An Integrated Approach to Teaching Literature in the EFL Classroom (I-TESL-J) - 2 views

  • This article describes various approaches to teaching literature and provides a rationale for an integrated approach to teaching literature in the language classroom based on the premise that literature is language and language can indeed be literary.
  • the use of literature in the EFL classroom can provide a powerful pedagogic tool in learners’ linguistic development.
  • As teachers of English as a Foreign Language our main concern is to help learners acquire communicative competence. For this reason we tend to focus on teaching standard forms of linguistic expression
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Such an approach enables learners to access a text in a systematic and methodical way in order to exemplify specific linguistic features e.g. literal and figurative language, direct and indirect speech.
  • Apart from offering a distinct literary world which can widen learners’ understanding of their own and other cultures, it can create opportunities for personal expression as well as reinforce learners’ knowledge of lexical and grammatical structure.
  • The use of literary texts in the language classroom can be a potentially powerful pedagogic tool.

DailyShots - The Daily Short Texts/Stories Project - 0 views

  •  
    One of the major keys to success in language acquisition is making reading a habit. Extensive [Sustained] Silent Reading (ESSR) is thus useful as it allows readers to improve their language skills in various aspects (grammar, vocab, spelling etc) and levels without the stress of classroom learning and a teacher's supervision. I aim to read (at least) one English text (eg. short story, article, poetry) a day - although this may be slightly stretched from time to time, depending on academic/personal commitments.

Buy an Electronic Language Translator Online - 0 views

  •  
    Two main groups of people can't live without electronic translators.\nThe first group are students who are studying in a foreign language. More often than not, English is their second language (ESL) and being able to look up words quickly is essential to student success. Electronic translators are super fast, and students with electronic translators look up more words more often than people with paper translation dictionaries.

Sync.in - 0 views

  •  
    Sync.in is a web based document creation service that allows users to collaborate in realtime. People that have used services like TitanPad or Type With Me will notice a lot of similarities to those services in Sync.in because all three services are based on the EtherPad code made public by Google.  Sync.in provides a place for anyone to start a collaborative document without registering for the service. Once you've started your document it is assigned a unique url that you can share with anyone you want to collaborate with. Sync.in gives each person his or her own text color so that you can keep track of who wrote what. If you want to go back in time to see how the document developed, you can do that with the time slider on Sync.in. Documents on Sync.in can be exported and downloaded to your local computer.

Scriffon - 0 views

  •  
    Scriffon is a simple service for writing and publishing online. Scriffon isn't a blogging platform, it's a writing platform. That means that you cannot edit the layout or navigation on the page on which your writing is published. Each writing that you publish is given it's own url. You can go back and edit your writing even after it has been published. If like, you can use multiple pen names under your Scriffon account name too.  Applications for Education Scriffon could be a good way for students to anonymously post their writings online and get feedback from others. For teachers or students who are reluctant to put their names on the web, using a pen name is a good way to publish without putting your real name online.

Language Testing - 0 views

  • It was agreed that personnel who rate speaking and writing tests must be well-trained and have regular opportunities for refresher training. These tests require considerable judgment, so raters need to be normed and re-normed periodically to ensure they adhere to standards.

    Interesting and very readable series of articles about teaching uplugged. Some fav quotes so far: A Dogme lesson is ... a lesson where the teacher is simply another member of the group - somewhat more knowledgeable when it comes to the target language - but who asserts her authority only in order to facilitate the group's common purpose... Rule #10 Teachers themselves will be evaluated according to only one criterion: that they are not boring.
