PREZI - Lesson Plan

Good evening, my readers!

Today I have learnt how to create a fantastic presentation in Prezi. I must admit - it's an exciting experience, but unfortunately I have spent a lot of time in order to make it because my computer is working sooooo slowly 😠 

But the presentation turned out great. It is a "Lesson Plan" and the topic of my lesson is "Professions". I would love you to see it, so here is the link: https://prezi.com/p/dv3yl3pyrs3i/

Exploring English - Week 6

Hello, friends!💛

Today I've completed the course "Exploring English" by the British Council and I am going to tell you a little bit about the final week of this course. 

We've looked at the qualities of a good entrepreneur and listened to a very interesting interview with Richard Branson. Moreover, in the language work section I have read information about the use of –ing forms and the infinitive and such works as "make" and "do". 

To sum up, I want to say that this course is worth taking! I've learnt a lot and gained knowledge about the British culture and some other significant topics. 😊

Exploring English - Week 5 🌏

Good afternoon 😊

I would like to tell you about the fifth week of the online course "Exploring English" which I`m taking during these 2 months (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/explore-english-language-culture/7/todo/10744).

 
This week is called "The environment: saving the planet" 🌎🌊🌈 This week we've discussed  the environment and what we can do to protect it. Moreover, we've talked about our own behaviour and looked at an environmentally friendly project in the UK (the Eden Project in Cornwall in south west England). In the language focus section we've learnt the different uses of "so" and some new words about environmental issues.

Last but not least, I want to say that I really liked the quiz "How green are you?" because many interesting facts are included in it 📌

Thank you for reading my blog and have a great day! 😉

 

Exploring English - Week 4

Hello, my dear friends!😍

I must admit that this online course gets more exciting every week. I love reading and I really enjoyed Week 4 about the British literature. So, during this week we have learnt about literature, Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre in London. Moreover, we focused our attention on the life and works of Roald Dahl.

As far as grammar is concerned, we've discussed comparatives and superlatives and how we can modify them.

Below you can see quizes which I have done and some comments. Thank you for reading my post 💫

Exploring English - Week 3

Hello, my readers! ✌

I have already  finished 3 weeks of this course and I must admit that they have been very exciting so far. 

 

So during the third week we discussed the British countryside. We also watched interesting videos and learnt more about the different countries that make up the United Kingdom. In addition, I read information about gradable and non-gradable adjectives and their modifiers in the language focus section. Below I posted my screenshots 😊

 Thank you for your time and have a great week!

Exploring English - Week 2

Good evening! 💜

I would like to tell you about the second week of the course "Exploring English" (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/explore-english-language-culture/7/todo/10741).

This week is focused on British music and on how music is being used to help young people take an active role in society. I like that the language work section is included in this course and we read some information about relative pronouns and relative clauses this week.  You can see screenshots of quizes which I took during Week 2 as well as comments and my progress below. 

This course is definitely worth taking!

Bye 😉

Exploring English - Week 1

Hello!

I decided to join the online course "Exploring English" by the British Council (https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/explore-english-language-culture/7/todo/10740). I completed the first week and it was very
interesting.

During that week we looked at English as a global language and how technology could help people learn. Moreover, I got a chance to learn about the usage of passives and  discussed the expressions like "in terms of" and "in the sense that". I had many quizes during this week and I will include a few pictures of them here.

I also wrote a lot of comments. Below you can see some of them.

Thanks for reading my blog and check out my review on Week 2 :)

The child as a learner

Good evening, everyone!

 

Today I came across an article that explores how young children learn languages and what teachers can do to help them and their parents to make this process more enjoyable and positive. As I have some tutoring classes with little kids, I was curious to find out what stops children from learning, how they learn and which tips can help me to teach them more effectively. The highligh of this article for me was the passage about the language learning games which I can play with my students. I decided to share these games in my post.

• Bingo - Use numbers, letters of the alphabet, or word families: furniture, fruits, sports, jobs, colours, actions.
• Memory - Put ten everyday objects on a tray. Say what they are in English, cover them. Can your child remember what's there and tell you in English? You can also use photos from magazines or newspapers of different word families.
• Alphabet Game - Say a letter of the alphabet. Can your child find an animal, something to eat, etc. beginning with that letter? Or ask your child to write five words beginning with one letter.
• I-Spy - Say that you are thinking of something beginning with a letter. Your child has to guess what it is.
  Example: 'I spy with my little eye, something beginning with W.' 'Is it water?' 'No.' 'Is it the window?' 'Yes!'
• Twenty Questions - Think of an object or animal. Your child has to ask questions to find out what it is.
  Example: 'Is it big?' 'No.' 'Is it very small?' 'Yes.' 'Is it green?' 'No.' 'Is it grey?' 'Yes.' 'Is it a mouse?' 'Yes!'
• Definition Game - Give your child a definition, they have to guess what you're defining.
  Example: 'It is very big and it has a long nose.' 'Is it an elephant?' 'Yes!'
• Treasure Hunt - Your child has to find something by following the clues you've written in English.
