Hi,
This week we were lucky to have Mrs. Max Koller, Editor in Chief of English Teaching Forum and Mr. Tom Glass, Assistant editor and Circulation Manager of Forum. They were very kind enough for sharing tips for improving English and many ideas for teaching English, introduction of FORUM to our class was of great use (www.forum.state.gov). We were very fortunate to have them in our weekly discussion.
The discussion on engaging students was flawless , reading the post and accepting comments , I have decided to make use of “WEBQUEST” and “POWERPOINT” to keep students interactively engaged using technology tools and to create student-centered learning classroom. I selected these two because it wouldn’t need internet and it is easy, interesting and attractive too. Any students activities could be designed using the above two tools. It would be the most practical tools for me.
Exercise on creating PowerPoint was another refreshing activity, with the help form Mr. Khaled (Classmate) I could create quiz PowerPoint. Thanks to him. This type of empowered activities will certainly help learn better. During the period of time I have downloaded many slideshow and hope to make better use of it soon.
Thanks

Hello Jigme!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that Forum is great for our classes, the variation in our classes is possible with the helpful tips from this magazine. It has been fine to share experiences and comments with the Editor and Assistant editor or the material.
I like the idea of using webquests and power points, too. Learners will thank us because we want them to use something which is great for them. Technology is what students like the most. As you say it is a practical tool.
