http://judithbuendgenskosten.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-ict-approach-to-teaching-literacy.html
Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Thursday, April 23, 2015. The ICT approach to teaching literacy. If books were introduced at school like ICT, this is how it might happen:. Second: Students learn about how a book works: What a page is, what a binding is, how text and images may be combined. They see an example page of a comic and of a telephone directory. Large note is taken not to contextualize these example pages. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I usually do my...

Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Friday, April 24, 2015. The underwear approach to learning languages. One of my favorite authors is Dorothy L. Sayers. In her "Clouds of Witness", she describes a shopping trip in Paris by the English Inspector Parker. It is a wonderful literary example of what I call the underwear approach to language learning: Have a real mission. To accomplish (buy underwear in Paris), use all your skills and experience. Links to this post. Life, L...

Life, Language and E-Verything: Academic Writing - or: Die, paper, die!
http://judithbuendgenskosten.blogspot.com/2014/09/academic-writing-or-die-paper-die.html
Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Sunday, September 21, 2014. Academic Writing - or: Die, paper, die! Academic writing is a practice that requires a lot of delayed gratification. Depending on your writing speed, the number of projects you are working on in parallel and the turnaround times of the journals you submit to, what you are writing right now may be published in a year. We don't want chocolate chips then, we want glory! Does this sound a bit silly? If you need...

Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Monday, May 25, 2015. Reading blogs in EFL - but which blogs? In an earlier research project (forthcoming), I looked at how teachers introduce learners to blogging. I have been surprised to see that. Is it OK to include dialogue in a novel? What kinds of stories do people tell in novels? Of course, reading blogs is not only relevant when you plan to have students write blogs in class. In current English textbooks, publishers like ...

Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Thursday, July 2, 2015. Un Game de Computer pour le language learning! Games are a bit like movies: Most of the time, magically, everybody speaks the same language. If you are lucky, a short segment in an additional language is used for stylistic effects. Or a fantasy language is used as part of puzzles (cf. D'ni in the Myst series). But that's about it. Choosing in what language to address a non-player character (NPC)? How do we deal...

Life, Language and E-Verything: One week of CALL
http://judithbuendgenskosten.blogspot.com/2015/02/one-week-of-call.html
Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Sunday, February 1, 2015. One week of CALL. This year, I got a headstart on teaching. How? We had five full days, each one of which we could dedicate to one major theme within CALL. On Monday, we discussed competencies and infrastructure, trying to come to grips with the conditions under which CALL happens – or does not happen – at schools. Wednesday, we moved on the topic of multimedia, discussing Mayer's cognitive theory of multimed...

Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. Sunday, September 1, 2013. I was very happy to be offered the opportunity to alpha test the Open University's new MOOC platform, FutureLearn. And don't get me started on their user profiles. They are as web1.0 as it gets. What does this leave me with? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Life, Language and E-Verything. So Long, and Thanks for All the Ghoti. My German-language CALL blog.
