1. DISCUSSION: Reading, Writing, and Vocabulary Skills : Using Internet-Based Children's Literature to Teach EFL. I think it's
very good for those children's and young adult literature because
nowadays internet is the only way to find the lessons of learning in L2.
Reading is very good start for them but young learners, they don't
really like to read a lot at the same time. They sometimes need to have
fun and relax from their study. On the other hand, some websites has
designed very attractively. It did catch their attention to learn with
new materials, fun, colorful, and practice with animation pictures.
ABCD
Objectives wanted student to know how to read, tell, and learn new
vocabulary in their lessons. I do agree with these methods.These
assignments might be spread over several weeks.
- Ask students with access to younger relatives to read and teach the English stories to their younger relatives.
- Ask future teachers of English to read simple stories and then design lessons for younger students.
- Ask students to keep a list of what they have read, brief summaries of stories or chapters, and new vocabulary learned.
- Have students do presentations on stories to "sell" them to other students.
- Have students create their own simple stories in English, possibly with illustrations.
I'm going to use these ideas to teach my students.
2. PROJECT STEP: Describe a Class Issue: Previously, I used to teach one English class at BELTEI International
Institute for 5 years. The class that I'm going to talk about is in
level 4. They're young and adult learners form different places in Phnom
Penh, Cambodia. Moreover, they worked so hard to study English with me.
They involved all activities that I provided to them.
The
problems that they faced were lack of using technology, internet,
computer and LCD projector. Because some of them has those material but
they didn't. On the other hand, they did enjoy, excited, and happy in
learning through technology.
Hopefully Cambodia's school would provide those useful materials and documents that related to technology in the near future.
Best,

Hi davith,
Technology tools help us to create new environment to our students and make them more interested about any activity they are going to learn. You have mentioned that some of your students face the lack of using technology. You are doing great work with your students and you have said they are excited about it. They only need to be familiar with these materials and this is our job to teach, help and guide.
