Week 3 Materials

Week 3 Materials

My designed activity could be the springboard for the further development of the.topic RELATIONSHIPS and HUMAN VALUES.
According to the Vocabulary Profiler the story contains 4% of B1, 1% of B2 ,76% of A1 and 6% of A2 CEFR levels vocabulary.
I would recommend to discuss this material based on picture - story combination with B1 and B2 levels, as well as.C1 and C2. Think A1 and A2 CEFR levels learners might not be ready for the discussion of the topic.

The photos for the collage are from Pixabay. Like their photos.

My week two material is meant to get learners ready for speaking about themselves based on examples about well-known people. The class have the choice of two texts to suit two genders.
The task is not meant to check or refine grammar, it's to refine speaking by using texts as patterns to compare and contrast.
Making one - shot videos refines speaking
confidence and gets learners ready to speak in front of the camera lence, as well as the public.
My learners do a lot of videotelling on different topics. I have had this practice with my learners for many years. My learners assess their videos on disscussed criteria. They upload their videos on our closed community on FB. Every form have their own page.

Dear All

Dear All,
My name is Mariia Ruban. I have been teaching English at secondary schools in Ukraine since 1984. Have had a lot of experience facilitating teenagers with the opportunity to become conscious sitizens.
Believe that the teacher has more power in their classroom than any Prime Minister in their Cabinet. So I have been doing my best to use this opportunity and make a difference in my learners' lives.
I have been thinking teaching and teaching thoughts since I graduated from the Pedagogical University in 1984.
I am here on the course to learn and share.
Hope the course will be enjoyable to all.
CU there :)
