PRESS RELEASE

Spring ‘22 Virtual International Publishers Exhibition

One thing these past two years have made us realise is the great potentials technology is serving us. People managed to preserve communication under rough conditions and restrictions and that is an asset we simply can not ignore.

On the 7th and 8th of May, the Spring 22 Virtual IPE will open its virtual gates from 10:00 to 18:00 (EEST - Athens Greece Time Zone) connecting the Foreign Language professionals globally.

A GAMIFICATION TWEAK  [INTERMITTENT REWARDS  II]

[Psychology for Educators]

 As the saying goes: ‘If it works, don’t fix it!’. Imagine you have a game you have used countless times in class. It’s a very simple vocabulary revision quiz. You divide your class into two (or more) groups and then you read out the clues: ‘What do you call someone who is always on time?’ The first person to raise their hand and answer correctly scores two points for the group. It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s great fun. Why change anything?

Answer: Absolutely. A chant with movement, using a TPR (Total Physical Response) routine, which helps the children learn the chant much more easily, but at the same time, gives them the opportunity to stand up, move and stretch.

The Chant:

“Can you tell me what you are?”

I’m a bird.

I’m a star.

I’m a frog.

I’m a cat.

Can you tell me

what you are?

QUESTION:  I've been thinking that I depend a lot  on working through course material (the coursebook primarily and its components as well).  Often times on the first day of class not all teenage learners have their books with them.  I usually plan to use many of the 'Getting to Know You' activities that I have learned from your seminars.  Any other ideas?

Answer:  "An Image is Worth Hundreds of Words" is an imagination exercise designed to help learners express themselves through images as an initial step to brainstorming ideas and specific topic-related vocabulary items.
