                          Games for Teaching English Writing

http://www.tesolzone.com/games-for-teaching-english.html

Writing True/False Statements The first time this activity is carried out it is the teacher who needs to write. The second time the students can do the writing themselves. Write statements on the board - some true, some not. Some can be ridiculous, especially if you are teaching children. Some can be obvious, although with more advanced groups it's a good idea to include statements that require some thinking about, to increase interest in the activity.

Some example sentences could be: "Polar bears live at the South Pole," "Hamlet was written by Dickens," "Dogs always cook cats." Anything you want that suits the age and level of the class. Students must comment orally first, then in writing, about the sentences. For example: "Dogs never cook cats. They chase them," etc. Once the students understand, they can write their own statements, and respond in writing to those of other students.

Dictationcan become a game-like activity when practiced in a variety of ways, and when interesting material is used. There are many types of dictation, and it's important to vary the way it's done. Here are two that students often enjoy.

Running dictations are when pieces of text are stuck to the classroom walls, and teams (divided into runners and readers, and writers, who must remain by the board to write what the others on their team tell them. It's a good to give different students the role of writer a few times. The teams must copy the writing on the wall accurately.

CD dictation can also be fun. Draw the controls of a CD player on the board. Stop, Play and Go Back are enough. Explain to the students that they can control what you say by giving the above commands to you. Then read a short piece of text you have written or carefully chosen for the level of the students.

Read at a natural speed. The students must tell you to stop and go back etc, so they have time to write what you say. They can ask you how to spell the word, but nothing else. When the students are used to the activity they can complete the final sentence for themselves.

Consequencesis an old game, and is best for intermediate students. All students have a piece of paper. They all must write a name. The first name must be male for all, or female for all students. A famous person is best. Students then fold back the paper, hiding the name, and pass their paper to the next student (who should not look).

Then the students write 'met' followed by a female name (if the first name was male), then they fold the paper again, and pass it on to the next student. Next they must write a location, what they said, and last, 'The consequence was...'.

Then the papers are unfolded and read aloud. You may have, "Barack Obama met Hello Kitty in the pub. He said 'I love hamburgers.' She said 'What day is it?' The consequence was that they drove to Alaska." A little crazy, but this is generally part of the fun.

MY OPINION

There are many ways to develop students’ writing skill. Game is a good method that can help them to practice their writing happily. Good teachers have to find exciting games to teach them in many sources. They will study both content and interpersonal skill.

Reading to Speak: Integrating Oral Communication Skills At the present, transportation business is developing continuously. There are many vehicles that are built to serve comfort to us. Car is the one of vehicles that is very popular and there are many people use it. Do you know the effects of using car? What’s happened if most people use cars? There are many reasons why cars should be banned. Firstly, do you know our world is confronting with global warming and climate change? And the main causes of this problem are humans’ activities. Car is a major cause of air pollution that is difficult to solve. Because of burning gasoline will make toxin smoke that is very dangerous for our healthy and will be a cause of many diseases. Especially, in the town where consists of several tall buildings and narrow space which often holds air pollution and can’t drain. Most people in the city are ill because of the air pollution from using cars. Secondly, car is a reason of traffic jam. When there are many cars on the road, they can’t go rapidly. Furthermore, we have to stop near the intersection for a long time. It is a waste of time because we have to use much time in our vehicles. Moreover, traffic jam can make us be bored and stress. Thirdly, there are many accidents that are happened with cars. Because of we can drive it at high speed, we won’t realize about safety. All situations will bring lost both body and mental. Fourthly, the price of cars is important for drivers. Several car producers will make new cars continuously and they will be very expensive. If there is no money to buy, we may take on loan. It will increase our financial burden. Moreover, if we can’t spend money for them, the company will confiscate our car, too. Fifthly, the petroleum is the important power for cars but it is more expensive. We have to spend much money to buy diesel oil for our cars. Further, all petroleum can’t reuse, too. It may deplete from our world. Finally, it is a problem if we use cars in the town because there won’t be a large space to park them. Furthermore, it is a cause of traffic jam if we park them in unsuitable places. There are many effects that are happened when we use cars. We should realize the importance of protection our world, energy and ourselves, saving our money, solving traffic problem. Therefore, cars should be banned. Reading to Speak: Integrating Oral Communication Skills                It is to present a primary motivation to learn English language in several ways and be able to converse with speakers in English languages. Teachers are the writer’s audience. There are some evidences that support this topic. For example, The teacher should provide chances for oral interaction, as most of the teachers talk on and on throughout the lesson without giving students any opportunity to speak, thus turning the class into a listening exercise. The teacher can use integration of speaking and reading activities in both intensive and extensive reading classes. Students are encouraged to use their imaginations and make any changes to the plot and dialogues in their performance. The activity is organized according to the steps outlined below. MY OPINION I agree with this journal because integrated speaking approach which is added to reading and writing lessons to ensure that students receive essential practice in oral communication is a good way to develop speaking skill.

Debating the Best Way to Learn a Language

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvU4InKZSUE

Today , I listen the VOA Special English Education Report. The topic is Debating the Best Way to Learn a Language. A small study of foreign language learning in adults compared two methods. One is known as the explicit or classroom method and the other method is known as the implicit or immersion method.

The first method is known as the explicit or classroom. This is the kind of traditional classroom teaching where students are taught a lot of information about grammar rules. the other method is known as the implicit or immersion method. This is to learn much the way children do when they learn a native language. Mr. Ullman was the senior investigator for the new study. He is a professor of neuroscience at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington. He says he was surprised to find that combining the two methods might not help the brain in processing the new language.

I think when teacher combine these two methods. that necessarily a better way to learn a language. It makes student has the brain in processing the new language.
