Another month done and dusted in the Hub, with two fantastic webinars from Anne Margaret Smith (Including dyslexic language learners) and Olga Prepodobnaya (Time to Mouth Fitness: quick pronunication activities for Business / ESP students) and four new Wednesday Questions:
- How can ELT be a force for good?
- What do you think are the pros and cons of summer school?
- Do you use translation in the classroom?
- How do you deal with bullying?
Fiona Hunter was looking for resources on primary-aged learners’ developmental stages and earlier in the month she was also doing some research into the challenges YL teachers face. If you’re looking for ideas on using puppets in the classroom, check out Fiona’s post on that topic too.
There was a new lesson plan from Silvina Mascitti on tattoos and ageing and another from Bhavna Gupta on flight attendants’ uniforms and shattering stereotypes.
We continued the discussion around grammar McNuggets with a post from Everything EFL Podcast, who also shared a post on Krashen’s approach to reading, and some ideas on dealing with quieter students. Erin also posted about working on writing in the classroom.
There was a link to an article with practical ideas for dealing with L1 interference in pronunciation from The University Grapevine.
Charlie’s Lessons shared a video about Zoom’s new whiteboard feature and a day-one activity for all ages and levels.
We also had a post from TGSC – Erasmus+ who’ll be joining us later in the year to talk about their project on teaching grammar for spontaneous communication – looking forward to hearing more about it!
And at the very end of last month, we had a couple of interesting questions from Hubsters: Bianca Moody asked about using WhatsApp to deliver lessons and Karen Greaney was looking for ideas around project-based learning.
