How ESL & EFL Teachers Can Use English Zoom!!! |
Assign English Zoom!!! activities to your studentsEnglish Zoom!!! offers free content-based grammar and listening practice. For best results, have your students listen to the story first. You may even want to give them a little quiz on it to motivate them to listen. (An easy quiz is best; what they don't understand from the first listening, they'll get later as they do the practice activities.) Then, decide which English Zoom!!! activities you want your students to do. You may want to email them the URLs. When you present new grammatical structures in class, you may want to base your examples on the story. Because the context is known to everyone, the examples can be interesting and meaningful. When you test grammar, you may want to base some of your questions on the story. The use of the story's context will make your test items more meaningful. Your students can email you from each English Zoom!!! activity they do!At the bottom of each English Zoom!!! activity you'll see the email form below: |
|
Have each student email you. You may want to instruct them to include the following information in each email:
Their names
The URL of the activity they did. (They can copy and paste.)
Some comments about the activity. For example, was there an item that was particularly difficult?
Please encourage them also to send their feedback to me! They can use the other form at the bottom of each page.
(Try the email form out yourself. Recommend English Zoom!!! to a teacher friend!)
Note: Be sure your students know your email address!
