USING VISUALS FOR TEACHING & LEARNING ENGLISH

(1/5) > >>

Mustafizur rRhman:
Video has been proved to be an effective method in teaching English as a foreign/second language (EFL/ESL) for both young and adult learners. Video can be used in a variety of instructional settings—in classrooms, in distance learning sites where information is broadcast from a central point of learners who interact with the facilitator via video or computer, and in self-study and evaluation situations. It also can be used in teacher’s self and professional development or with students as a way of presenting content, initiating conversations, and providing illustrations for various concepts. Teachers and students can always create their own videotapes as content for the class or as a means to assess learners’ performance.

Yes Sir, You Are absolutely right. I have used BBC production movie to teach students English accent which was effective. I also used video- clips in listening class which motivated my students. Indeed, audio-visual teaching works.

shamsi:
Yes,Sameen sir you are right.We can assess our students by focusing on their real speech deliveries.And we can even use our own cell phones to record their performances.And,I am sure it will definitely work.

Mustafizur rRhman:
Visuals are a great tool to help with student comprehension as well as make for a more exciting class. Unfortunately, not all classrooms are equipped for this type of learning but most schools will have a multi-media room that can be utilized on an "as needed" basis. In addition, the presentation could involve graphics and images using less technology based methods.

shipra:
Sir, I also think it right.Specially,for pronunciation we can use cd's of Dictionaries(As,Oxford Dictionary) and Books(As,Peter Roach's book).
