Making students speak: MAP formula Submitted by albertrayan on 20 May, 2008 - 06:30 “I teach English at an engineering college in Kerala (India). I’ve been asked by the college management to teach communication skills. I find it difficult to make all students speak; some students are always passive. It discourages me a lot. I don’t know whether the problem is with my approach or with my students. Please suggest some strategies that really work.” This email message is from a lecturer in English. " title="<--break-->" width="100%" height="12">I have received a number of similar queried from teachers ever since I started contributing the column ‘English Matters’ to a newspaper in India.

Article "Do you want to learn English well?" asked I. "Yes, I do!" one answered me. "How to learn this language well? Have you got the proper ideas?" pressed I. "I don't know." answered he. The conversation above is my creation, but I want to say that so many English learners who have been learning English for years don't have a relatively clear view about how to learn this language well. Today a great number of people choose software to learn, always Rosetta Stone English is the first choice because of its great power and of the development of computer and Internet. Rosetta Stone definitely can teach you a lot about English speaking, listening, and writing. But you should have your goals to learn this language as well even you have no it. First, let's look at speaking. Everyday you should try your best to talk as much as you can with those who share the same interest or the major. Language is a very strange thing. If you leave it alo

I read this article in a blog from Saudi Arabia I teach English language for High school students. My course book has many lessons which focusing on some drills relating to reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. But one of my lovely lessons which is about conversations .Actually, I read the conversation loudly .Then I start discuss the content of conversation. This traditional method makes me sick. I wish I could change this to something unfamiliar and something unusual. I suggest that How much I would like that I could make connection with another classroom around the world their students are native speaker .We can use Skype messenger to connect with another classroom in for example “England “.

Integrating Social Media into Online Education

Of all the cathedrals of France, Notre Dame de Paris is most firmly impressed on the minds of English speaking people. At least, it is more familiarly known by all who visit that delectable land, and perhaps rightly so. Poets have sung its praises, and writers of all ranks have used it in well-nigh every possible fashion as an accessory; indeed, books almost without number have been written about it, and around it. This is as it should be, for perhaps no great church is more worthy, or more prolific in material. For those who would probe deeply into its story, there is but one way to acquire an intimate knowledge thereof, - to undertake a course of reading and study in some such way as a lawyer sets about reading up on a great case. By no other method could be acquired a tithe of the commonly known facts regarding its past history; hence the impossibility of attempting to deal fully in a few pages with this great church, even in a perfunctory manner.

By Susanne Sacchetti, Online Librarian at APUS Reprinted with permission from APUS When students pursue their post-secondary or graduate education online, they are faced with the task of also doing research online. This concept is a new challenge for many online students, and may be a bit intimidating. When a student gets a research assignment and wants to forgo driving to the library, what can they do online to get the same, if not more up-to-date, information? How should students begin the process? How should Web site information be cited? What Web sites are good for research? And what are the plagiarism angles for online research? Let’s figure this out step by step. First, some background. The Web is a very complex environment that has two sides: the Open (visible) Web and the Deep (hidden or invisible) Web. We are all familiar with the Open Web, the normal and free area of the Web. This area is searchable by Google and inhabited by major repository collections and government docume
