Today we began with a very engaging activity, using collocations -
words which tend to appear together (such as GLOBAL/WARMING,
SOLAR/PANELS or FOSSIL/FUELS). The teacher distributes cards with
these This is a natural way to learn a language, as these words tend
to appear connected. The kids have to find the other student who has
the card that matches his/her own. Then we work in the class the
meaning of these concepts. The concepts can be placed by the students
in a graph, showing for example the relationship between usefulness
and danger for the environment. A discussion is held about the places
that the pupils have found for these concepts.
With this activity we are addressing the four Cs that are important
in bilingual education: COMMUNICATION, CONTENT, COGNITION and
CULTURE. This is called a TPS activity: Think – Pair – Share.
This is a great activity when you use the flipped classroom approach!
Language, Teaching content and Language skills are connected with
Classroom management. Everything depends on the language of grammar,
and also on the teacher's methodology. We should learn how to engage
students, negotiate the meanings and give feedback
Some strategies that can be used to achieve all these goals are PPP:
Presentation, practice and production, ESA: Engage, study, activate
and TI-FO-SO-R: Tuning in, finding out, sorting out, reflection.
