Millionaire Game

I always make  use of  Powerpoint slides to assist my teaching.  Students  are often attracted by the animated pictures in the powerpoint slieds. Actually, it is pretty easy to make a Powerpoint slide. However, at the moment, I am still not very good to make Powerpoint slides with a variety of effect.  I still need to learn about it in order to facilitate my teaching.

I think it is a good idea to include some recording in the Powerpoint. My students always claim that they do not know how to pronounce words when they are doing revision at home. I will try to record the target vocabulary and dictation scope for them. They can get access to it through the Intranet. Hopefully, the Powerpoint slides will remind them of the pronounciation of difficult words.

In the Millionaire Game, students will be tested about the past participle and past tense  of regular and irregular verbs. Most of my students seldom spend time on memorizing the different forms of verbs. To challlenge students with Millionair Game, it is hoped their participation during class will be enhanced as well as their incentive to memorize the correct forms of verbs. 

Try this game to challenge yourself !

My first wiki

I think  teachers can invite students to do collaborative writing by using wikis. They can experience process writing by working with their group members. Students will get less anxious if they have chance to edit their work before they produce their final products.

Besides,using wikis will help me organize a  project  work  in a more systematic ways.   Teachers can provide students with useful websites which they may find useful in doing their homework.   For instance, I am now doing a project about pollution with my students. Students  can always refer  to the wiki to have a clear idea about what tasks they are going to do.  They can also find useful websites from the wiki. I will upload some videos about pollution  to arouse their interest about pollution.  They can share their ideas about how to prevent pollution with me through the wiki.

Ways to improve Lingonet

In order to improve Lingonet,  teachers can pre-teach the vocabulary related to the Lingonet activities. This will  prepare students with the possible vocabulary that they will come across in the Lingonet activities. Teachers can also provide the students with an online  dictionarywebsite. In this way, students can find out the spelling of words.  Besides, teachers can also provide students with a clip art gallery website where students can find the pictures and the spelling of words. This will help students to solve  the word puzzles in Lingonet.
