http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/11/frustration.html
It's all about communication! Thursday, 20 November 2014. Haven't blogged for a while due to workload, then we had assessments.anyway here I am! Got a little frustrated with myself today. I allowed myself to speak far too much in English and . I didn't wear my hat! All of this resulted in me having to talk to them in english too many times. Didn't need to.could have been avoided with a tighter control on my lesson! Must try harder next time! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What's in the blog?

It's all about communication! Sunday, 10 August 2014. I have already posted photos of these (Original post here. But after having had requests for them, I thought it probably easier to upload them properly. So here they are, my classroom language mats, to allow my pupils to communicate with me and each other in the TL as much as possible:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

On Target Teaching!: Planning
http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/08/planning.html
It's all about communication! Thursday, 7 August 2014. Actually, there hasn't been much so far! I get all creative at the start of the holidays and loads of ideas find their way to the front of my mind and then I stall! And so on. I am also lead teacher for Talented, Able and Gifted (TAG) education in our school and therefore am trying to challenge pupils as much as possible; although as language teachers, teaching in the TL, I think we are actually rather good at it anyway. With images and cognates wher...

On Target Teaching!: Creating the right atmosphere from the start
http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/creating-right-atmosphere-from-start.html
It's all about communication! Thursday, 24 July 2014. Creating the right atmosphere from the start. First week of the summer holidays almost at an end and my brain finally has the space to think! With my lower school classes for an individual team point thingy and I will be implementing my yellow and red card sanction system. I have also considered starting a football card collecting system off the back of the world cup - not sure yet; maybe too much. Labels: first lesson thoughts. What's in the blog?

It's all about communication! Saturday, 30 August 2014. I was contacted by a site called 'Skolinks' recently, which sets up penpals around the world. Could be fun!

On Target Teaching!: Lesson 1
http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/09/lesson-1.html
It's all about communication! Wednesday, 3 September 2014. To start, I had to seat them. We usually start by seating them alphabetically. I had done a seating plan on PowerPoint from their perspective, then for me I copied the slide then flipped the 'tables' to print off. So as they came into the class, all I had to do was greet them, then refer them to the plan:. Findet eure Namen und dann setzt euch. I gestured towards the board and the tables and it seemed to work. And ' nicht hier. See below) They wr...

On Target Teaching!: Chapeau!
http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/08/chapeau.html
It's all about communication! Tuesday, 26 August 2014. If you're going to teach in the TL, you need every trick in the book, including a 'routine' for those times when you absolutely cannot speak in the TL and only English will do. For these such moments I have one of these:. They become readily available when we have things like World Cups and Euros etc! This is how I use it:. And on their approval, you wear the hat and the same situation applies. Simple, but effective. I love my hat! What's in the blog?

On Target Teaching!: Guten Morgen Frau Wylie!
http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/10/guten-morgen-frau-wylie.html
It's all about communication! Tuesday, 14 October 2014. Guten Morgen Frau Wylie! You know when it's going well, when your students shout at you in the TL from all angles as they are passing! This is the language I love! I also love the language you hear when you least expect it in lessons. For example, something last lesson made of one my Year 7 pupils say under his breath: 'Das ist nicht fair! I giggled inside because I wondered if he had realised he was complaining in German? Before anyone else, becaus...

On Target Teaching!: Lesson 2
http://ontargetteaching.blogspot.com/2014/09/lesson-2.html
It's all about communication! Thursday, 4 September 2014. Really enjoyed today's lesson. Content-wise, I didn't get through as much as I had planned, but it was fun and I veered off my plan somewhat! Today we did greetings - Guten Morgen, guten Tag, guten Abend, gute Nacht and Auf Wiedersehen/tschüs. We also recapped Wie heißt du and ich heiße. And the register routine vocab ; ich bin hier/nicht hier. Whilst holding up the appropriate amount of fingers! This led to "Das ist nicht fair! Number of people h...
