Insett: try something different this term!

The idea was to motivate teachers to try out one of three different aspects of teaching this coming term and during the summer courses: learner diaries, cuisenaire rods and vocabulary bags.

1. Learner diaries: click here to read Nik Peachey's analysis of how, when, why we can use them in class.


2. Cuisenaire rods: have a look here to find out how to use those strange little rectangular multi-coloured bits of wood.


3. Vocabulary bags are used by a number of teachers already, here is an extensive list of activities you can try out to motivate students further. Also click here for Ceri Jones' list of vocabulary games - games which she presented at the BC Bilbao teachers' conference last September.

Have a good time experimenting! And please post any sites you come across which relate to these 3 areas.
