Week 6: Large and small classes teaching Techniques

I have thought of some techniques and technology that could help when teaching small and large classes Teaching large and small classes is very linked to classroom management, as we all may know, the best number for a class is probably 12 Ss because they can be divided into different groups, for instance, we can make 4 groups of 3, 3 groups of 4, 2 groups of 6. Having 12 Ssas the average numbers of students in class makes it a lot easier for them to hear one another in a whole-class activity. Unfortunately, we cannot choose the number of students in our classes. Most classes are large and I think that the larger the class is the more necessary is to implement technological tools is, one of the differences between large and small classes is the time we have got to monitor students, I think even having 30 students we can still walk around the class during the lesson and spend a few moments listening to each groups and take some notes but with a larger class so we should keep track of ...

Week 5: Rubrics have become an integral part of teaching and learning

Rubrics have become an integral part of teaching and learning at all universities and places involved in ELT. EFL. ESL and others in the past few years. Here at UTN University, Teachers, directors and faculty developers have engaged in discussions in faculty meetings, in lunchrooms, and it certainly was one of the topics at the UTN EFL International convention recently held. Remember that assessment is not necessarily an either-or option. Instead, these assessment strategies can be used together in order to gain a better picture of your students' grasp of the content.

At the end of the session, participants drafted a rubric for an assignment and gave and received feedback from a colleague. Benefits they reported include clearer complaints and more focused teaching. Of course there are also teachers who have reasonable reser...

Week 10: The most Interesting WEBSKILLS course topics for me

Hello Robert and everyone, I have learned from all topics but here the most interesting ones: 1.      Project steps Very useful for the final project, as Robert said in one of his emails, most of the information and ideas we have to include in the final report was written during the class process. 2.        Technology Enhanced Lesson Plans Great stuff! I have always done Lesson Plans or gotten them from online resourceful websites, but very few time worked on Lesson Plans based on technology. In the week 4, I had the chance to do it and changed ideas with others. 3.      ABCD objective Pretty good as well, every singles class should have a clear objective and I always write it on the upper left part of the board so students can see what the topics to be learned are and what they should know at the end of the lesson. 4.        WebQuests I had not heard of them up until week 5, I will definite...
