Reflection 5 (Module 4: Skill-building Websites for Reading/Writing Skills and Technology-enhanced Lesson Plan)


 (Links to an external site.)

After attending this session, I have been noted down some useful websites for teaching and learning reading and writing skills

National Geographic Learning offers a wide range of interactive reading practice for students.  The reading passages are categorized in terms of levels: beginner - (pre) intermediate - advanced, so all students from a mixed-level class have opportunities to practice  by themselves. The reading tasks are often assigned as self-study activity at home. In each interactive reading practice, students are asked to complete a multiple choice exercise, followed by a recording of the text and a glossary. Moreover, the website can also work as a resource for teacher since it also provides follow-up activities and the information of the reading's topic. This website really works for my teaching since its reading passages are authentic, the topics are various and the extra activities are useful.

ABC Learning English : This website is multi-skills integrated, and the sectors devoted to vocabulary and idioms are beneficial to teaching/ learning reading and writing.  The articles containing the vocabulary and idioms are topic-based, and provide a reading context for presenting the new lexical items.

Live worksheets: is an excellent resource for my teaching and my students' learning because it offers a wide variety of worksheets that may be utilized as additional assignments or out-of-class exercises. These worksheets are not only useful for teaching and studying grammar and reading, but they are also attractively created to entice pupils, particularly young learners. This tool is best suited for young students in primary or secondary schools.

The objectives of a lesson describe the base knowledge and skills that we want our students to learn from our lesson. One of the method to identify a lesson's learning objectives is ABCD method.  ABCD approach consists of four elements: A - B - C - D in which A (Audience) : Determine who will achieve the objectives B (Behaviour) : Use the action verbs from Bloom's taxonomy to write observable and measurable behaviour that shows mastery of the objectives. C (Condition) : If any, state the condition under which behaviour is to be performed D (Degree) : If possible, state the criterion for acceptable performance, speed, accuracy, quality Some web-searching tools that I find useful for my teaching are Slideshare and Giphy . As a secondary teacher, I usually use Power-point in my teaching, so Slideshare helps my teaching a lot since it offers a wide range of slides a...
