week 6 experience

week 6 experience

http://tep.uoregon.edu/resources/index.html  is the link we are provided by our instructor. I am interested in this page especially it has drawn my attention to conduct activities in engaging my students. I have already described my class in terms of students' number, It is the most suitable page for me which offers a wide range of materials.

What I learned in this week is in brief here:

Engaging students

·          It helps the teachers gain skills to manage their large classes. some important skills I have learned are " engaging students in large class" The teachers can engage the students in various way such as building a relationship with audience, bringing changes in writing style, interactions, creating deeper Understanding (using Classroom Assessment Techniques),team learning using small groups in large lasses and leading discussion in the class.

·         Other way to manage class is an effective management of the classroom. The teachers should call the students by their names. Teachers must be attentive to address the needs of students. Here I learned how to handle the difficulties that may appear in the classroom. Establishing classroom etiquette is recommended. Effective Presentations in Lecturing play a vital role in learning.  

Using Technology

·         The students in my school are lacking in technological knowledge but they are curious about them. The main issues are lack of computers, electricity cut downs, and problem in the internet.

·         I learned many new things related to teaching with technology. Blog is one of the best things. Creating a blog for the students is another great idea. Blogs are easy to create and   they will be more useful if we organize resources to give the students tasks. Using a blog provides a wide range of possibilities. Blogs motivate the students. Unfortunately, the teaching system in our place, are depended upon chalk and talk .Students use textbook, pens, pencils, and their exercise books. No computers, no internet, can be used for them.

·         I take recorded material occasionally in audio form with the help of sound box and conduct listening speaking exercises.

·          I'm glad to find out impressive Webquests and their ability to encourage higher level thinking.  Webquest is an excellent technology to develop creative thinking.

Interactive Classes or PowerPoint:-

• The idea of using power point is great. It is useful to teach listening, speaking, reading and writing, the students are easily attracted by colors and images. Therefore creating power point presentation really motivates the students. They really add "power" in learning because they are interactive by sounds and animations. Through the power point, we can teach grammatical structures, new vocabulary and comprehension of passages and so on.

·         The teacher can make his pupils talk more, share ideas each other, learn from each other and get involved in learning. They feel more secure and use English to communicate In large classes the teachers improve Lectures With Technology. Course Websites like we are using can be made and learning becomes efficient.
