Opportunities to encourage self-reliant forms of learning ACTIVITIES - RESOURCES

1. Each student can make a short presentation to the class about a specific topic and to include specific VOCABULARY to explain their partners.

1.1. ¡Que se divierta con MindMeister...

1.2. ¡Empiece ahora!

1.3. ...y que tenga muchas buenas ideas!

2. Before teaching a GRAMMAR POINT, we can ask students to read the rules and examples from the textbook at home and bring questions to the class.

3. In groups, students can choose a short sketch from the web to act it out in the lesson so as to practise PRONUNCIATION and INTONATION.

4. Students can write a composition at home and correct the writings in pairs in the lesson. After that, they can hand in the final draft the following class.

5. Teachers can provide lists of useful links so that students can check online dictionaries, grammar rules, vocabulary lists, online games, etc.

6. Teachers can lend tapes, CDs, videos or any material to students who have time and who want to practise and work on special assingments at home.

7. A class blog can also be a great help. Here learners can upload or link the websites they use as English resources. They can also post questions and include interesting things to share.
