How do most teachers use micro-dictations?
      However ‘small’ they are, micro-dictations have great value! They can help students notice connected speech, which is what usually blocks their understanding in a listening lesson. The teacher reads the sentences or plays the recording. They repeat each sentence a few times. Example: He must have gone out.
      Students listen and write what they hear.
      The teacher now writes the sentence on the whiteboard and asks students to compare it to theirs.
      Finally, the teacher asks: which part was difficult to understand and why?

Ain't It Fun


I don't mind

Letting you down easy, but just give it time

If it don't hurt now then just wait, just wait a while

You're not the big fish in the pond no more

You are what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

So what are you gonna do

When the world don't orbit around you?

Ain't it fun?

Living in the real world

Ain't it good?

Being all alone

Where you're from

You might be the one who's running things

Where you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want

See it's easy to ignore trouble

When you're living in a bubble

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star


Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.


When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.


Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark,

How could he see where to go,

If you did not twinkle so?


In the dark blue sky you keep,

Often through my curtains peep

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.


As your bright and tiny spark

Lights the traveler in the dark,

Though I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

What is the definition of translanguaging?



      For years, research into the best instructional approaches for students identified as English learners has pointed to the concept of translanguaging.


       Identified by bilingual education researcher Ofelia García, it’s both a skill set and a total shift in the way language is thought of, used, and taught in K-12 classrooms where multiple languages are honored and addressed, even as English remains the dominant language of instruction, said Marybelle Marrero-Colon, the associate director of professional development for the Center for Applied Linguistics.


      Researchers are looking into how it can be applied to formal assessments, such as state standardized tests on which English learners might struggle to demonstrate their academic proficiency because they are tested in an unfamiliar language.


      Translanguaging is the ability to move fluidly between languages and a pedagogical approach to teaching in which teachers support this ability.


       In translanguaging, students are able to think in multiple languages simultaneously and use their home language as a vehicle to learn academic English.


      A student could be reading an article about the solar system in English, but in their brain, they are also thinking and making connections in Spanish. They might annotate in Spanish or first write down reading comprehension responses in Spanish and then figure out how to provide the responses in English, said MarreroColon. […]


   Teachers can engage in a variety of activities that deliberately encourage translanguaging, ranging from providing vocabulary in multiple languages to collaborative translation opportunities. The goal is to get students translanguaging as a practice that can be leveraged toward supporting literacy outcomes and engagement, as well as other academic endeavors.

 
      For example, two students could be assigned to solve a word problem, and one might be stuck on a word in English. The two students can then use an equivalent word in their home language to make sense of what the word problem is asking of them, Phillips Galloway said.


      Or in group activities, students can be prompted to share with the rest of the class how something taught in English would make sense in Spanish by highlighting similar and different grammatical structures between the two languages, Marrero-Colon said.


      “When you translate, you don’t have to do it word for word. You’re really trying to capture the feeling of that text,” MarreroColon said.


        Once teachers start doing these activities, research has found that students who have not spoken before start speaking and students who were not as engaged in text-comprehension activities suddenly are, she added. That's occurring because they are being encouraged to use their home language in class to think about language use overall.

Q3047646 Inglês
Brazilian learners often base their pronunciation on spelling. This tendency is understandable, given that Portuguese pronunciation closely aligns with its orthography, making it easier to transfer these habits to the acquisition of a second language. Nonetheless, it is crucial to recognize pronunciation as a vital component of effective communication, demanding clarity and comprehensibility. In order to foment that habit, educators may use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which provides symbols that accurately represent the standard sounds produced during speech. Integrating the IPA to various pedagogical approaches can significantly enhance students’ pronunciation skills. According to IPA transcriptions quoted by Swan (2005, p.xxx), the words house, occasion, cheap, with, think are pronounced as follows:

Q3010803 Inglês
Total Physical Response (TPR) is a teaching method that uses physical movement to help students learn language and vocabulary. It is a method of teaching language or vocabulary concepts by using physical movement to react to verbal input. The process mimics the way that infants learn their first language, and it reduces student inhibitions and lowers stress. In TPR, instructors give commands to students in the target language with body movements, and students respond with whole-body actions. Total Physical Response is particularly useful for, but not limited to, teaching beginners and, or younger students and is highly effective for teaching imperative-based languages, where the commands are easily expressed through actions. Having that said, check the alternative, whose statement is not associated with the one of the core principles of TPR.
