Effective communication skills Basic Listening Activities How to do a listening Much new Vocabulary Many time for to do a listening

activities, the students felt comfortable for a lot new words. This confused and stop them and lost the concentration when hear. The problem is clear the student can understand all the new words.

English Fast Some student try to understand all the English speaker saying, or teacher teach with new word by this is no easier for some students but in listening they may have an opportunity to understand the messages. The student can recognize new words and new phrases in the content but some student cant understand all the new word and this is a problem because teacher need to stop and review the before studied. The student was remain and try to understand the preview words, in this case is important to recognize the student hair a word that hear last time and he try to understand but he dont know there are many a lot similitude of word but really the student can confuse with this. Problems with some stress pronunciation and phonetic In this wide world its necessary to know many stress, like American stress, British or Australian. So is important to know the stress the no native speaker, like French, Japanese or German. Many students has difficult to understand diverse stress and they try to concentrate but in the future this can be a damage because in the real life the can find a lot of the stress. Advices how to hear English best In firth instance I want to tell you that you no area alone in this and this problems may be the more common in class room, however is important to pay attention and hear main ideas when hear English. Hear activities in listening in own level, I want to start with this point, because its important to practice listening with this I cant tell you that is no good to

see movies, new or hear music, however we can practice and does the ear sensation better is recommended hear conversation in the level that you are so you can practice common phrases and prepare the ear to advance by stage. Many teachers has students low level and they send their students to practice advance dialogue this is a problem with students they will be a frustrations or teacher send their students to translate a short paragraph and the student visit other person for do the homework or using internet translation this is a bad way, because the student is no able to do the work. Every teacher should be think in every student what student is prepare to do the work that teachers send. Recognize keyword Its no necessary to understand all the word that you hear, the best form is to hear the keyword to understand the principal message. Its no necessary to stop in word that affect the message, its can be patient and tolerant. Every time you hear a lot of new words in listening but, remember you attention is in keywords, in this part is important to know a lot of vocabulary. One the technique is create a verbs list, adjectives, prepositions, substantives, and important phases because this is the key to know and help to understand clearly. Do a logical deduction If you dont understand the keyword, you can analyze the content and practice you will learn how to do a logical deduction about the content, example in the following sentence I was having milk and spilt over my new shirt. Every laughed. The principal words are having milk, spilt, and laughed. We suppose that you dont know spilt (this is past the spill) but in content and deduction we can know the mean or near of this Listening are vital for the student of the four skills listening is by fast the most frequency use. Listening and speaking often is taught together, because is the two skills all the time go together in teaching English. Every activity you can use two way how to arrive in your porpoise, but in beginner are a exemption, because they do not a lot English. In this part teacher should be use a language easier to comprehend by simplifying your vocabulary. Student should be learn short sentences, vocabulary and so on.

There are many type of listening activities learners can be asked to physical response to a command (for example please open the door, open your notebook, stand up, sit down, come to the board select appropriate picture or object (for example teacher carry a lot the pictures in class room or teacher mention any object and student take the correct object) circle the correct letter or word on a worksheet draw a route on a map or fill in a chart as they listen. Its more difficult to repeat back what was heard translate into native language, take note, make on outline or answer comprehension questions. To add more challenge, learner can continue a story text, solve problem perform a similar task with a classmate after listening to model, for example order a cake from a bakery or participate in real life conversation. Good listening lesson go beyond the listening task itself with related activities before and after the listening. Here there are basic structure Before listening Teacher prepare his students by introducing the topic and finding out what they already know about it. A good way to do this is to have a brainstorming session and some discussion question relate to the topic, then provide any necessary background information and new vocabulary. They will need for the listening activity. When the student will be families with the topic and can develop in real situation. During listening The teacher can be specific about what student need to listening for. They listening for selective detail or general content or for an emotion tone such as happy, surprised or angry. If the not making answers or otherwise responding while listening, tell them ahead of time what will required afterward. After listening The teacher can be finished with an activity to extend the topic and help the students remember new vocabulary. This could be discussion groups, craft, project, writing task, game and so on. There are some ideas that can help to make a listening activities successful.

Noise Reduce distractions and noise during the listening segment you may to close doors or windows or ask the students in the room to be quiet for a few minutes. Equipment In this part the teacher can be use a computer or sound recorder with a good sound and cd or usb this can be in a good function. Repetition Read or play the text a total of 2-3 times, tell students in advance the teacher will repeat it. This will reduce their anxiety about no catching it all in this firth time teacher can also ask them listen for different information each time through. Content Unless your text is merely a list of items, talk about the content as well as specific language. used the teacher material can be interesting and appropriate for your class level in the topic, speed and vocabulary. Recording your own tape Write appropriate text or use something from your text book and have another English speaker read it into tape. Copy the recording three times so you dont need to rewind. The reader should not simply read three times because the students want to hear exact repetition of the pronunciation information and pace not just the words. Video The teacher can play a video clip the sound off and ask students to make predictions about what dialogue taking place. Then play it again with sound and discuss with they were right or play the video without the video first and show the video after students have guessed what is going on. Homework Give students a listening task to do between classes. Encourage them to listen to public announcements in airports, bus station, supermarkets, and on. And try to written down what hear them. Tell them the telephone numbers of a

cinema and ask them to written down the playing time of a specific movie give them a type recording of yourself whit questions, dictations or worksheet to complete.

Important speaking activities Speaking lesson often tie in pronunciation and grammar which are necessary for effective oral communications, grammar or reading lesson may incorporate a speaking activity either way your student need some before preparations the speaking task, this includes introducing the topic providing a modal of the speech they are to produce a model may no apply to discussion type activities, in this case students will need clear and specific introductions about the task to be accomplished then the students will practice with the actual speaking activity. These activity may include imitating(repeating) answering verbal cues, interactive conversations or an oral presentation. Most speaking activities in erectly practice listening skills as well such as when one student is giving a simple drawing and sits behind another student facing away. The firth most give introduction to the second to reproduce the drawing. The second student asks questions to clarify unclear introductions and neither can look at each others page during the activity. Information gaps are also commonly used for speaking practice as are surveys, discussion and role-play. Here some idea to keep in maid as you plan your speaking activity Content As much as possible the context should be practical and usable in real-life situations. Avoid to much new vocabulary or grammar and focus on speaking with the language. The student have this important to talk. What students like to do in every day or what students can do very good. This part should be according the student interest. Correcting errors Teacher need to provide appropriate feedback and correcting but dont interrupt the flow of communication. Teacher take notes while pair or groups are talking and address problems to the class after the activity without

embarrassing the student who made the error. Teacher write the error on the board after finished the presentation and ask who can correct it. Conversation strategies Encourage strategies like asking for classification, paraphrasing gestures and initiating Teacher interactions If a speaking activity loses team teacher need to jump into a role-play ask more discussions questions clarify your introductions or stop an activity that is too difficult or boring. Sometimes the student dont understand what Is the dynamic porpoise in this part look how to change other activity however some students like to do activity other is a little difficult to create a participation.

Activities to promote speaking Discussion Discussion is important after a context-based because can be held for various reasons the students may aim to arrive at a conclusion. Share ideas about an event or find a solutions in their discussion groups. Before the discussion it is essential that purposed of the discussion activity is set by the teacher. In this way the students the discussion points are relevant to this purpose so that the students do not spend their time chatting with each other about irrelevant thing. For example students can became involved in agree(disagree discussion, the teacher can form groups of the students, preferable 4 or 5 students in each groups and provide controversial sentences like people learn best when they read or people learn best when they travel. Then each group works for a time period and present their opinions to the class. Its essential that the speaking should be equally divided among groups members at the end the teacher decide what is the wining group defended idea in best way. Also discussions is very important for students because they can take a quick decision themselves whatever the aim is the student should always be

encourage to ask questions paraphrases ideas express support, check for classifications and so on. Role play This is one other way to getting students to speak is role-playing students pretend they are in various social contexts and have a varieties of social roles. In role play activities the teacher gives information to the learner such as who they are and what they think or feel. Simulations Simulations are similar to role-plays. What makes simulations different than role-plays is that they are more elaborate in simulations; student can bring items to the class to create a realistic environment for instance, if a student is acting as a singer he brings a microphone to sing and so on. Role play and simulations have many advantages first since they are interacting and motivate. Second as hammer (1984) suggest, they increase the self-confidence of hesitant students because in role play and simulation activities they will have a different role and do not have to speak for themselves. Information gap In this activities students are supposed to be working in pair one student will have the information that the other partner does not have and the partner will share their information. Information gap activities serve many purposes such as solving a problem or collecting information. Also each partner play an important role because the task cannot be completed if the partner do not provide the information the other need. These activities are effective because everybody has the opportunity to talk extensively in the target language. Brainstorming On a given topic, student can produce ideas in a limited time depending on the context groups or individual brainstorming is effective and learners generate ideas quickly and freely the good characteristics or brainstorming is that the students are no criticized for their ideas so students will be open to sharing new ideas. Storytelling

Students can briefly summarize a tale or story. They hear from somebody beforehand or they may crate the own story telling to tell their classmates. Story telling fosters creative thin. Thinking it also helps students express ideas in the format of beginner development and ending include de characters and sitting a story has to have students can tell idles or jokes, for instance at the very beginner of each class session the teacher may call a few students to tell short riddles or joke as an opening in this way not only will the teacher address students speaking ability but get attention of the class. Story completion This a way enjoyable whole class free speaking activity for each student sit in a circle for this activity a teacher start to tell a story, but after a few sentences he or she stop narrating then each students start to narrate from the point where the previous one stopped each student it is supposed to add from four to ten sentences, student can add new characters events, descriptions and so on. Interview Student can conduct interviews on selected topics with various people it is a good idea that the teacher provide a rubric to students so that they know what type of questions. Conducting interview with peoples give students a chance to practice their speaking ability, not only in class, but also outside and help them become a socialized after interview, each student can present his or her study to the class, moreover students can interview each other and introduce his or her partner to the class. Reporting Before coming to class, students are asked to read a newspaper or magazine and in class, they report to their friends. What they find as the most interesting news. Students can also talk about the whether they have experienced anything what telling their friends in their daily lives before class. Playing cards In this game students should form groups of four; each suit will represent a topic for instance: Diamonds: earning money Hearts: love and relation ships

Spades: an un forgettable memory Clubs: best teacher Each student in a group will choose a card, then, each student will write 4-5 questions about the topic to ask the other people in the group for example: If the topic, Diamonds, earning money is selected. questions: Is money important in your life? Why? What is the easiest way of earning money? What do you think about lottery? So on However, the teacher should state at the very beginning of the activity that students are no allowed to prepared yes or no questions, because by saying yes or no students get a little practice in spoken language production, rather students ask open ended question to each other so that they replay in complete sentences Picture Narration This activity is based on several sequential pictures student are asked to tell the history taking place in sequential pictures by paying attentions to the criteria provided by the teacher as a rubric. Rubric can included the vocabulary or structures they need to use while narrating. Picture describing Another way to use of pictures in a speaking activity is to give students just one picture and having them describe what it is in the picture for this activity students can form groups and each groups is giving different pictures students discuss the picture in the groups then spoke person for each groups describe the picture to the whole class. This activity fosters the creativity and imagination of the learner as well as the public speaking skills. Here some possible

Essential Reading activities

Effective writing activities Effective writing is a skill that you have to teach yours students every day. If will benefit you and your class if you can find a new and interesting way to develop their writing ability. In this case teacher introduce a variety of method and take the student out of the class room in to different environment to inspire, motivate and encourage them to enjoy writing. A picture tells a thousand word

Often the problem students have with writing is that they do not know how to begin or cannot come up with any ideas for a story or piece of writing. Inspire them through pictures. There are a huge amount of wonderful landscape photographs widely available for free on-line. Make a PowerPoint slideshow of the scenes to run on the white board during the lesson. Split students into groups and give them a picture each. Let them spend a lesson looking at and discussing the picture and then brainstorming words and phrases that the picture inspires. Help them by moving around the class during this time and asking them open questions. Who do you think lives here? What is causing those huge waves? What is on the other side of that mountain? Groups share their ideas with the rest of the class. Use the results of the brainstorm to go on to write a descriptive piece or a poem, or even an adventure story.

Go hunting

Take your students on a dragon hunt.

This takes some organization but can create some wonderful writing. Tell your students you are all going to be dragon hunters (or bear hunters, or lion hunters or even fairy hunters - whatever you think will inspire your class). Prior to the lesson hide some objects in the school grounds. Use bits of old jewelry dropped by a princess, a sword left by a knight who ran away, a pile of old (plastic) bones; anything that provides clues to where the dragon is hiding. If possible, set up a den where the dragon lives. Take your students outside and search for the dragon. Back in class, use the hunt as a starting point for descriptive writing, adventure stories, even nonfiction writing; produce a report about the dragon or a leaflet about an endangered dragon. Allowing students to be children and to have fun gives them a positive learning experience and inspires them to improve their writing.

Mystery bag

Use a mystery bag to inspire writing. Again, this activity will help to provide students with inspiration and a starting point for their writing. Have a bag or a pillow slip that you can't see through. Fill the bag with a variety of diverse objects. If you are working with a small group, pass the bag around and have each child take an object. Ask questions related to the object. Who owns it? Where was it made? Does it have any magical properties? Ask any question that will make students think deeply and become inspired. Have students write about a character that owns the object, or a character who is hunting for the object. If working with the whole class, have two or three students take objects from the bag and use them as a basis for a whole class brainstorming session along the same lines as the group session.

Teenager There is not exact age limit of teen years; specialists have different opinions about it. Some of them think that it is rather largest period from 11 till 18 other think it is 12-15, 13-15, 14-16, and 13-17. There are specialists who divide teens years into periods: early teen, middle teen an late teen. I look like the most common opinion is to think about teenagers years as the period between 13 and 17 year. Physical development A this period teenagers have big changes physically, their body preposition are became like that adult, and for there is difficult to know that because they thought that all the time they will be child, and they not a sect this change in his or her life. However is import to put in mind that in this period the teacher can be careful, because anything can be danger for the teen. Study At this age all brain function are rapidly developing too. That is why the period is very good for study and acquiring practical skills, but school stop being the only place of getting knowledge. As is was told of this age communications with friends come to the first place and teenager being to be interested in many other thing behind study, volume of information receive from other saucers increaser.

This is why lesson should be very interesting and motivating only this condition learning and school performance will be very successful. Boring lesson is the reason of the indiscipline problems missing class and loss interest and motivating. Teaching teenager Teaching teenager isnt easy, because well-being a teenager isnt easy, just think back to your adolescence when you were going through all those changes. Change in your body an in your mind, habits opinion tastes clothes and music, relation ships with parents and teacher. Of course its dangerous and difficult to generalize about adolescence from individual to individual and culture from culture, but if you have accepted the changes of teaching teenagers, then you are teacher of group of young impressionable peoples and we need to try to be flexible and patients with each individual Something to keep in maid when teaching teenagers It seen that all teenagers are interested in romantic music, so exploit that interest by bringing music and the feeling that can be expressed through song in to the class room. That is personally relevant to your teenagers Teenager are discovering (often with difficult) a different relationship with other and group work allows individual to interest with different classmates in a less stressful collaborative atmosphere. Teenagers are starting to define their proper personality (sometimes it seems they have multiple personalities) and role-play activities can allow them to tray to express different feeling behind no-threatening face-saving masks. Part of growing up is taking responsibility for ones acts and in school for ones learning, so a measure leaners autonomy and individual choose can be help full for teenagers. Its amazing how some teenagers will have almost encyclopedic knowledge of a particular field so let individual students bring their outside interest and knowledge in to the classroom through cross curricular work.

Variety including surprise and Kumour is the spice of class room life (perhaps particularly with teenagers and they infamous short attention span) so try out different warner starts and fillers to change the pace and enliven the organization or your lesson. Teenager are discovering their bodies so use movement by giving students an opportunity to move during the class. Teaching in secondary school often mean teaching multiple level classes, but effective classroom management can help even with very large classes. Use a mother tongue can not only steers a whole class activity always from misunderstanding contortion and potential discipline problems (always a risk with teenagers) but also help avoid pressure on an individual by removing the impression that one person is being tasted and put on the spot. Game can provide not only purposeful contexts I which to use language but they also stimulate interaction, provide competition and are fun as long as rule are clear and clearly followed by all participants. Project work offers each individual a chance to use their individual talent to do something personally meaningful and motiving with the language they are leaning and the resulting posters and other visuals can be displayed around the classroom.
