I currently split my class into two, but was hoping for some fresh ideas, as it has been quite tiring, and I've been questioning its effect on student morale. I liked the suggestion of \"same materials, different tasks\" and do so often. Pairing strong and weak students has always seemed like a bad idea, but after studying this unit, I feel like I should give it a chance. The use native language is a whole topic in...  [Read more]

The way each part of each skill, such as scanning, skimming, listening or reading for a purpose, etc was detailed and...  [Read more]

I plan on using most of them in my grammar 1 class. We use a book for the study phase but I do struggle with fun activities for the activate stage.

Another very tricky part of the unit was stress of words and syllables. In my opinion this...  [Read more]
