I felt that week four assignment is kind of the most challenging for me.
I felt that week four assignment is kind of the most challenging for me. I don't know whether that was because I wanted to aim high and create something that is genuine and new or because I was not creative enough to make the job easier for myself!
In our summer school courses, we do graded readers with students of different age groups, so I created a board game to review all language and content of one of the readers "The Prince and the Pauper".
Anyway, I created a board game. I used Publisher to create the table myself (rather than using a ready template) , then filled it with some questions and other instructions. I am still exploring Publisher, so I had to copy the document to Word to save it at the end !

Dear All,
Here is my last assignment. I'm sure you are already enjoying your summer break, but I hope Mocha's nose in the preview convinces you to have a look :)
I struggled to make the layout look as neat as possible, but Google docs doesn't always want to cooperate, so show some understanding if things are not always just in the right place.
I used myrebus.com to create the fun part of this lesson (thanks for the recommendation, Maria Theologidou).
Enjoy the rest of the summer, everyone :)

Attached is my Week 4 assignment.
Attached is my Week 4 assignment. It was quite difficult to think of creating puzzle materials for my context, being 1-2-1 online teaching - everyone else's activities seem really exciting and colourful, but I find with my context it's often more engaging for learners in 1-2-1 online lessons if you can create the content during the lesson - so I will use the interactive whiteboard a lot to draw etc.
Anyway, one game I play quite frequently is Twenty Questions, which is a very popular British travel game, so I have created a worksheet to explain how to use this as a game to practise question forms and workplace vocabulary. I use it with B1 learners, and I only use it once with each learner. The word I think of is always 'stapler'. I find this works really well because it's an object that many people use every day, but that (in my experience) they don't know the English word for. It's really interesting to hear them try to describe it to me, and how to use it, and really extends their vocabulary.

This puzzle was designed today from scratch, since I wanted to make it appropriate for use by any teacher interested.
In Greece the majority of coursebooks are accompanied by a book called ‘Companion’ which contains the new vocabulary in each unit. In levels A1 - C2 under each word there is its explanation in English, an example sentence containing the word, synonyms, antonyms, derivatives and the Greek translation of the word. So, to make this puzzle I usually use vocabulary I have set as homework in the previous lesson and I copy the original sentences from the companion, which helps the students who have studied guess the words easily .
Please feel free to have a look at it. Any comments would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone.
Hello everyone. I tried to design a fun activity for young learners from different backgrounds who get to know each other in class. The purpose of the activity is to enhance cultural identity in classroom and give students the chance to use home language in order to feel comfortable and secure in the learning environment.

Who Am I?
Who Am I? Where Am I? and What Am I? are well-known games with a couple of variations. I've revised previous materials I made to save reinventing the wheel, and have further simplified the language so that (except for names, numbers and fillers, e.g. Ah, Hmm, Oh), 94% is A1 and rest is A2 vocabulary (according to Word Kitchen). The materials are designed for students to use in a self-access (language learning) centre and play out of class.
In-Class Use
After students have had a tour of the self-access centre and start to get settled into the 1st semester, I introduce a selection of games like this in class (which is part of an oral communication course with a focus on fluency development).
Students choose which game they want to play and I am there to help if they wish to ask any questions but are generally able to figure it out amongst themselves. You can find more games here:
http://www.konan-wu.ac.jp/~espace/games.html
Out-of-class Use (Self-Access Centre)
Between classes, they have to complete a self-access centre 'challenge'. For the week in question, they must choose a different game and then answer a short online Reflection & Evaluation questionnaire. (Feedback on the games has generally been very positive - see comments below.)
They usually play during lunchtime or between classes in a free period or at the end of the day. If they need help or want to play with someone, there is always a Learning Advisor in the centre and sometimes a Student Volunteer Staff or International Students speaking English. However, as materials are photocopiable, they can also take a copy and basically play anytime, anywhere.

Hey everyone -
Hey everyone -
Here's my last assignment. It's for a flipped-classroom where students read the information on the Five-Paragraph essay on the following websites:
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/five_par.htm
http://www.bucks.edu/media/bcccmedialibrary/pdf/FiveParagraphEssayOutlineJuly08_000.pdf
They then complete the crossword puzzle below that I designed on the website www.armoredpenguin.com
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qysg_Dh0djCGKNcvm2ClkDVayg_0E_VhAsMABb4wWjI/edit?usp=sharing
I would then have them identify all of the parts of an essay in the following essay, which I got from Longman Academic Writing Series 5:

Here goes, the final assignment.
Here goes, the final assignment.. Assignment # 4. I used the idea of running dictation and modified it to review and internalize 2-word phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs are very difficult for Pakistani learners, mainly because the feature is a rarely used one in Urdu. Since students have a tendency to 'translate' mentally from Urdu into English in order to gain accuracy, we as teachers, find that 'phrasal verbs' are hard to internalize. For example, instead of using 'switch on, turn on'' they will say "burn the lights' because in corresponds to Urdu phraseology. Taking this into consideration, ELT teachers in Pakistan have to compensate for such errors by iteration. Here is the game I used just recently with my class.

For the final week's assignment, I created a vocabulary review assignment for an intermediate/high intermediate level English for Science class. The first part is a crossword puzzle that students can work on together to review definitions. The second part of the assignment is based on an activity a colleague showed me for vocabulary review. It involves having students creating a quiz (in this case, fill-in-the blank sentences) that another pair would answer. Students enjoy this because it forces them to think about how to use words correctly (both in creating and answering the questions). I walk around and help students with the creating of the quizzes. After we switch the papers and the other pair would answer, we project the answers on an overscreen projector, and we grade the students' answers as a class to see why and how the words are correct. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mJEHtamtgwwv4XSVwM5QcLdeyoNXNLFvEz86MyVDO_4/edit?usp=sharing

A bit late, and I've been flexible with my definition of 'puzzle' (in this case, two/three situations at the end of the materials in which students have to think critically), but here is my work for the Week 4 assignment. I’ve tried to incorporate ideas from the previous weeks’ materials, both in terms of content and feedback, focusing on the skill of critical thinking for students preparing to do a business or management course at university.
As ever, comments, suggestions welcome.

Honestly, I took a really long time looking for an online game that can be used in my context. Since we are just few days away from 5th of August, I give up looking and decide to share one of the language games I usually make my students create. It's a card game called Kaboom!
This card game can be played after students have done reading a novel or a literature. Honesty, this is the most interactive and fun way to check student's comprehension and to make sure whether a student reads or not.
note: I'm sorry for the poor card graphic.

Here's my last project. It's a memory and observation game. I believe that your students will enjoy it! I enjoyed observing the picture and finding hidden items while creating this material.
Anyway, it was great to meet you all. Have a great summer!

Hi, everyone!
Hi, everyone!
Some years ago, one of my colleagues shared this idea and, since then, I've been using this game a lot mostly with teenage or adult students of higher levels when teaching idioms or phrases. I've created several lists with idioms or phrases I can use in this game. This is just and indicative one so you can alter it by changing the idioms or phrases according to your class' needs. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your feedback!
