Using Web 2.0 to motivate boys to speak in the target language - 0 views

Voki is a Web 2.0 tool that enables users to express themselves on the web in their own voice using an avatar, a talking character (Voki 2008) which they can customise to their liking. I decided that Voki would be the ideal tool on which to base the three lessons that I chose to describe and evaluate in this paper because: it can be accessed both at home and at school; it necessitates computer-pupil interaction, which, as described above, is a motivating factor; it facilitates the transition from teacher-centred, class-based learning to one in which the pupil begins to acquire individual responsibility; it makes it possible for the quieter pupils to make their presence felt and be heard; and it allows the pupils to role-play and hide behind a mask (an avatar).

TPR Foreign Language Instruction and Dyslexia - 2 views

For language teachers, this accepted presumption of incapacity is a huge hurdle, because it keeps many children and adults from even dipping a toe into the language pool!

TPR was and is a wonderful way to turn that presumption on its head and show the learner that, not only can we learn, but under the right circumstances, it's fun!

When we are infants our exposure to language is virtually inseparable from physical activities. People talk to us while tickling us, feeding us, changing our diapers... We are immersed in a language we don't speak, in an environment that we explore with every part of our body. Our parents and caregivers literally walk and talk us through activities - for example, we learn lots of vocabulary while someone stands behind us at the bathroom sink, soaping our hands until they're slippery, holding them under warm water, rubbing or scrubbing, all the while talking about what we're doing and what it feels like. In this way, movement and feeling are intimately tied to the process of internalizing the language.
