 Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 7:13 pm Post subject: Vocab Lessons for Camps? |
 |
|
I'm helping my co-teacher with his lesson plans for the English camp we're co-teaching, and I was hoping to get some advice.
I am teaching conversation, he is teaching vocabulary. Normally, I'd just tell him to do it all himself, but we tend to integrate quite a bit, and so it's in my best interests as well to make sure his lessons aren't shite.
So, does anyone have any good vocab suggestions for camps? The classes are 40 minutes a piece. |

Forget the I teach conversation you teach vacabulary stuff. This will just lead to one person teaching lessons that are considered important and one person being a dancing monkey. In Korea the one person teaching the materials relating to the exam will be considered more valid. Despite the fact that the students are still struggling with basic wh questions after six years of studying. Make it conversation based. Have the students do role plays, and Information gaps. Look at the material on Bogglesworld.
Make sure you're both on the same page and decide what to do. Decide that you will in fact team teach and he/she will not screw off when the students come. |

No, no, we're not team-teaching, but our material is supposed to mesh. |

Get some Materials from Bogglesworld . For his solo classes he can go over
all the new vocabulary and explain how to do the activity in Korean. Then when you get them alone they will be ready to do the activities. |

Decide on what you are doing specifically. Teaching by skills, language category, doesn't work well with camps. Keep it thematic.
You might try my Bingo games. Get lots, print out the ppt sheets at EFL Classroom 2.0 Here is what most look like. http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/eflclassroom-76050-bingo-basic-entertainment-ppt-powerpoint/
[and NO, it isn't stupid old bingo which like hangman, word games in general, wordfinds etc are for teachers that just don't know what to do next....]
You can practice almost any target language and it is communicative and competitive....
