Posted by Shaun Wilden on September 25th, 2009
This week’s link is to an online video.

more about “View Overstream: ‘Any Given Dogme – T…“, posted with vodpod
At first glance you might think, well this isn’t the usual ‘something to do with a class’ kind of link, well that’s true but you could use the page with students (it’s a site that allows you to create and add subtitles to a videos – which has potential for language class exercises, doesn’t it?).

Hi Class,
Ready for tomorrow’s lesson? There weren’t too many words on the board at the end of last week’s lesson so this week’s quiz set is only nine words. You can find and revise the words as usual on quizlet. Click on the link to take you to week three words.

This posting is 'sick'!
Posted by Shaun Wilden on September 16th, 2009
If you have been following my blog then you know I have been using an episode Stephen Fry’s BBC program on English called ‘So wrong it’s right’. As part of that we have been looking at ‘unusual’ pieces of English.
Words – my favourite sites
Posted by Shaun Wilden on September 13th, 2009
On Friday, Lindsay Clandfield’s blog ‘six things’ was discussing ‘ugly words’. His post was based on something he found here and by the end of the day many EFLers had posted their ugly words from coffin through to TEFL. The original list came from a site called ‘wordie’ which describes itself as the flickr of words and for a lover of words such as myself it is a cornucopia of information and certainly worth recommending to both teachers and students.

No Comments »Fry lesson 2
Posted by Shaun Wilden on September 9th, 2009
The students seemed to enjoy Fry last week even if he was difficult (and class if you don’t agree with this statement then please feel free to leave a comment). In last week’s lesson I pre-taught ten words from the listening (I like dictations you see 
) and so this lesson begins with revision of those words.

More on the Autumn OMDs
Posted by Shaun Wilden on September 8th, 2009
Hi Teachers,
On September the first, I posted the dates for mine and Gareth’s annual OMD’s training days. As much as we’ d like to run it as Gareth’s farewell tour (yes he really is leaving) as I hinted at in the 01/09 post the topic of the day would be critical thinking. We now have a better idea of what the talks will be on so this is the ‘blurb’ for each talk.
