ES F16 INT Speaking about Hobbies

Day and Date: 09/05/2016

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class): Intermediate

Class theme/topics discussed: Hobbies

Goal of the class: Students can speak about their hobbies confidently

How did you structure the class?

Heads-up: I introduce the LRs’ websites.

Activity 1: Warm-up High Five. I explain to the students how to say “give me five” (choca esos cinco!). Then, they stand up and walk around the classroom introducing themselves starting by saying “give me five”. They have to say at least name, age and home city.

Activity 2: Guess the hobby. Each student must give instructions on how to practice their favorite hobby to the rest of the class as if they were about to practice the hobby for the first time, but without mention the name. The rest of the class must guess the name of the hobby

Activity 3: Hobby discussion. In a bowl, I have a lot of pieces of paper in a bowl with different questions related to hobbies. Students in pairs or little groups pick up one paper after the other and answer the questions.

Activity 4: Apps. Students are divided in groups and I handle them a description of an app that helps creating habits. They have to read it and prepare a little presentation about it in front of the class. I handle a printed version so they can prepare what they are going to say and afterwards I display the website on the screen so everyone can see the pictures.

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

Laptop.

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

Students liked this class. It is the beginning of the year so students were a bit shy during activity 4 but still it was fun.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

I would wait until students feel confident enough to speak in front of their classmates.

If you have a more detailed lesson plan, please attach it below (OK to use target language for that).  Please attach any handouts as well.

Class theme/topics discussed: Social Networks

Goal of the class: deepen a little bit more in the social network’s topic.

Structure of the class (unless you attach your lesson plan below)
I started showing them the trailer of the movie that I will be showing this Sunday (Volver). After that we moved onto reviewing some of the vocabulary of the previous class related to facebook/social networks.
Afterwards I showed them a couple of videos related to social networking in Spain and the world. Then they discussed for 5-10 minutes some questions that I had prepared. After that we discussed the questions with the whole class. (I attach the paper with the questions).
During the last 5 minutes they voted what they wanted their projects to be.

What technology, media or props did you use? (satellite tv, internet resources, playmobiles, etc.)
Videos from the Internet

What worked well in this class? What did not work?
They liked the videos. However these were a little bit too fast for them to understand everything, even though everything is written.

How could this class be improved/ modified?
I could have had them working in two groups analyzing the two different videos. Then putting all the ideas together with the class.

Please attach your lesson plan and handouts for this class below – if you used any.

Class theme/topics discussed: Social Networks

Goal of the class:

To practice speaking skills; to exchange opinions on the topic; learn more about Russian social networks

Structure of the class (unless you attach your lesson plan below):

Lesson Plan attached

What technology, media or props did you use? (satellite tv, internet resources, playmobiles, etc.)

Laptop, TV set

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

Everything worked very well. Students spoke a lot and were interested. They especially liked the part about addiction to social networks and the Internet. The plan is a bit too long for one class, in my class with three students it took one lesson and a half. I guess, in a bigger class it can take even more time.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

There is probably too much audio/video in this class, so it would be really better if the last part about social networks addiction can be left for another class.

Please attach your lesson plan and handouts for this class below – if you used any.

FR F07 INT – Newspapers

Newspapers

How did you pick this theme or topic?

It was September 11th, so it made me think about the news. I also wanted to do something more “serious” than the previous class

How did you present the material? (Handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
General discussion ( hoe can you have access to the news? Newspapers…do you know any in France?)
Group work ( they chose a magazine or newspaper, went to the website, search it in order to be able to explain its organization, then they chose an article that they liked

How did students react?
They were interested in knowing more magazines, especially about music, cinema… more than serious newspapers .

Did they engage with each other and you?
Yes. They could choose the newspaper or magazine they wanted to study, so they got involved in the research

What materials or media did you use? (articles, satellite tv, digital projector, etc.)
Computer (websites of the newspapers or magazines), handout with questions.

Please attach a copy.
Below are the questions

Would you recommend this activity for a future class?
Yes, but I would try to have them even more involved in the search, I think by having to look for one specific piece of information that I will have looked for before the class.
