TEXT:
Mistakes help you learn
Maija Kozlova
May 19, 2021
It is not uncommon for English language lessons to favour
communication over accuracy: real life is nothing like a
classroom! In real-life situations, when you make a mistake in the
language you are learning, context provides ample information
as to what the intended message is. In fact, most of the time,
impeccable accuracy is not needed at all! “Don’t worry about
making mistakes,” I used to tell my English language students.
“Communicating is the most important thing!”
While making mistakes when trying to master a language might
seem counter-intuitive, letting learners freely communicate
and negotiate meaning is key to success. A learner who
communicates a lot while making a few mistakes is much more
likely to develop confidence for dealing with real-life situations
than a learner who communicates very little because they’re
afraid of making any. In communicative language teaching, for
example, the teacher is tasked with both encouraging the learner
to express themselves and with providing corrective feedback in
a way that is not obstructive to communication.
This means that if a learner says, “I go swimming last night,”
it is much more effective to respond with, “Oh, that’s nice, you
went swimming. What did you do after?” rather than, “No! You
went swimming! Use past simple for past events!” – the former
encourages the learner to continue their narrative while the latter
is much more likely to make the learner stop in their tracks,
re-evaluate the context, and think twice before expressing
themselves again in the future, for the fear of making a mistake
again. Teachers need to be careful not to parrot back everything
the students say in this manner, of course, but the technique
can be an effective method of acknowledging the content of a
student’s response, while also providing feedback on accuracy.
The importance of the freedom to make mistakes in language
learning is also supported by research in psychology, which
suggests that learners who try a task without having mastered
it completely experience improved retention of new information.
A similar experiment in the context of language learning also
indicates that the process of making mistakes activates a greater
network of related knowledge in the brain, which leads to superior
learning outcomes.
It is believed that the key to help learners feel relaxed and ready
for communicating freely in the classroom is authenticity. This
means that there should be both a real communicative need for
a learner to speak and the authentic reaction from those around
to what the learner has said.
Here are a few ways of how such authentic communicative
interactions can be practiced in the classroom:
• surround learners with the English language – encourage
them to speak to you and each other in English;
• don’t worry about diverging from topics that are not strictly
covered in your lesson plan;
• model communication by telling your students stories and
anecdotes about your own life and encourage them to do
the same;
• let your learners have fun with English – give them colloquial
expressions to try and ask them to share some expressions
;
• do not overcorrect – make a note of errors and cover it in
subsequent lessons;
• avoid the temptation to turn what was intended as speaking
practice into a full-on grammar lesson.
While easier said than done, especially when the outcome of an
exam is at stake, it is worth remembering that people that our
learners might come to interact with outside of the classroom
are driven by the natural desire to understand the people they
communicate with. This is especially powerful when practiced in
the context of a classroom. They set the learners up for success
in real-life communication. In other words, when communication
is the goal, mistakes are secondary, and that’s real life, isn’t it?

In the quest for technological advancements that can revolutionize our world, the scientific community has always been captivated by the elusive phenomenon of superconductivity. For decades, researchers have strived to unlock its full potential, seeking to discover materials that can exhibit superconducting properties at room temperature. And now, the wait might finally be over! Enter LK-99, a groundbreaking potential room-temperature superconductor that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, spearheaded by a team of brilliant minds from Korea University, led by esteemed researchers Sukbae Lee and Ji-Hoon Kim.
Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, leading to unprecedented energy efficiency and technological advancements. In summary, LK-99 represents an exciting prospect as a potential room-temperature superconductor, but its superconducting properties have yet to be confirmed and independently verified.
Room temperature superconductors could revolutionize the energy sector by enabling lossless power transmission over long distances. With reduced energy dissipation during transmission, electricity could be distributed more efficiently, lowering carbon footprints and electricity costs.

Netherlands: Phone ban announced to stop school
disruptions
(1º§) Devices including mobile phones are set to be
banned from classrooms to stop them from disrupting
learning, the Dutch government has announced. The
initiative is being introduced in collaboration with schools
and is to take effect at the start of next year.
(2º§) There will be some exceptions, including for
students with medical needs or a disability, and for
classes focused on digital skills. The ban is not legally
enforceable but may become so in the future. "Even
though mobile phones are almost intertwined with our
lives, they do not belong in the classroom," said
Education Minister Robbert Dijkgraaf. "Students must be
able to concentrate there and be given every opportunity
to learn well. We know from scientific research that
mobile phones disrupt this."
(3º§) Various studies have found limiting children's
screen time is linked to improved cognition and
concentration. Other tech including tablets and
smartwatches are also included in the Dutch ban. The
government said it would be up to individual schools to
agree the exact rules with teachers, parents and pupils -
including whether they wanted to completely ban devices
__ schools.
(4º§) The scheme is the result of an agreement between
the ministry, schools and related organisations. It will be
reviewed at the end of the 2024/2025 school year to see
how well it had worked and whether a legal ban is
needed. The announcement follows a similar decision by
Finland last week.
(5º§) Its government announced it would change the law
to make it easier __ restrict the use of phones in schools.
Other countries, including England and France, have also
proposed banning mobile phones to improve learning.

Text: The importance of the PowerPoint
as a classroom resource
(Text adapted from Teachers: 5 Tips for Creating Great
PowerPoint Presentations, retrieved
PowerPoint is a resource developed by Microsoft
and released initially in 1990. It is mainly used in
professional meeting presentations all over the
world.
One of these professions is in educational area:
teacher.
PowerPoint presentation is spread among
teachers because it is different from lecturing or
teaching with a textbook; it is also a way of sharing
content with students.
To produce a PowerPoint correctly, teachers need
to know how to put the slides together, it can be an
effective way of reinforcing content to students so
that they are better able to retain it. Otherwise,
teachers can print and distribute the PowerPoint
presentation or post it online, so students can go
back and access it as reference material. However,
if it is not put together correctly, a PowerPoint
presentation can disengage and make students
bored.
To develop PowerPoint presentation is simple and
it can also provide a fun time noticed by its
characteristics: basic, simple, and not distracting, it
can be focused on keywords; for instance, always
be sure to include a summary slide of what the
presentation is intending to accomplish as well as a
table of contents on the different topics that will be
covered in the program. The summary slide serves
as the main topic and what students should learn
after viewing the presentation. Then, at the end of
the PowerPoint presentation, teachers should
include another summary slide, going over
everything that was just covered and, again,
highlighting the main point.
Bottom line
PowerPoint presentations need to have a purpose
and the teacher must make sure that the purpose is
understood.
Add pictures
Teachers can reinforce the content with pictures,
charts, symbols, and other images. In fact,
sometimes it’s better to have more pictures than text
in a PowerPoint presentation, because images work
to reinforce a content main point.
Teachers typically will just share it with their
classes, so they can pull images straight from the
Internet. However, for teachers who are making
more public and widespread presentations,
copyright law needs to be considered (Brazil
Information Access Law nº 12.527; Art. 31;
paragraph 3; item II).
Add video
Pictures can help to reinforce a main point or
support content, as well as videos. Some research
affirm that students enjoy watching videos and
retain information from them well, especially if the
video is engaging, interesting and informative.
Teachers can embed videos right from YouTube or
from their desktops to complement a PowerPoint
presentation.
Practice
Nothing turns off a class like a poorly put together
PowerPoint presentation, so teachers should
always be sure to do a quick rehearsal before they
present it to the class. While testing it, make sure all
the images load up on the slides, videos load up
properly and audio works, too. Also, it’s important
for teachers to make sure that there’s a way to
connect their computer, or upload anything that’s
storing the PowerPoint presentation, to a larger TV
monitor or projector screen so the whole class does
not have to huddle around a computer screen to
view it. Teachers should also make sure that any
text can be read and understood. Be sure that the
color scheme is good.
Make it fun
A PowerPoint presentation can be an innovative
way of teaching. It’s a more interesting and
engaging way for students to learn than the typical
lecture. Teachers should embrace this teaching
resource and have fun with it. Throw in some jokes,
possibly some funny pictures and be sure to get
creative with presentations.
As we previously noted, the more students enjoy
a lecture, presentation, or activity, the more likely
they are to retain information.
