Teacher Discussion Forums

This activity will go for a whole month, and it's my first attempt to running an activity like this, think of some activities to play with kids, guide them to think of some great ideas, like a little scientists.
Well, hope i can get some ideas, please help. Thanks.

I will be having a conversation class with high school student, and I am still thinking what to do with it, the class will go for an hour only. And I have prepared some boardgame, to practise their oral skill. And do you have other suggestions for me????

Yeah it's partly true from what you said. But i think it's a great tool to motivate them to participate in the lesson/you can called it a game.

At this stage, accept what the girl...

First of all, I guess you don't have to panic about this. Well, I tried one game with my students before, they love it so much. Okay, you can go online to find some activity cards. Sorry i can't remember one web site which provides the sources like that. Find some printed cards online which have pic...

Hi there, I have just read a book about different teaching method. Well, yeah for me, I think dictation is a dull task, still we need to think of the student's viewpoint, if they love it, that's great. They have motivation to do it best. Use the format of dictation to test their " articles " use, su...

I've found it's hard in HK situation that students are all stressing out, due to the HK education system that pushes them to just study for the exam. After they finished the exam, all the things they learnt will be gone wi...
