One of the stories I love revisiting is Eveline from Dubliners. This year with my year 12 students we read it again. I’d like to share the follow-up activities we did. I grouped the students and assigned them with one task. They chose one and created the followings.

Have you thought about swapping the view of your window on a website? I discovered #windowswap last year and I just loved it. It may be because I love doors and windows, or it may be because I can’t travel anymore because of the pandemic, or it may be because I’m a teacher and this…
Types of Dictations for EFL Classrooms I started a ‘train the trainer’ course in January. At today’s session, we looked into some listening activities and dictation techniques. As a teacher, I have never liked doing dictation in my class. It’s something I neglected. The only one I use is the wall dictation AKA the running dictation…
I am not a fan of online games. I don’t play any but my son spends most of his free time playing online games. I have lots of students who do the same and when the subject is online games, even the quietest one starts to speak. A few years ago I had three students…

image created via Add Letters Reading is one of the activities I love doing. However, students don’t usually like it as they haven’t built a habit for reading or they think they don’t read in their daily lives. When I ask about their preferences, they mostly say they don’t read anything. Of course, they do read. We know…
Hi,
I am a Swedish English-teacher. I love this idea and will sure try it in my classes. It gives fulfillment for a lot of the “demands” on the grades they could reach, so it is an “all-in-one” lesson. 🙂 That’s the way I like it; not the least when real life, where they are supposed to use their language skills, are a mix of a lot of things.
My very best,
Anna-Lisa
Thank you Anna-Lisa for your nice words. I’m glad you liked it and would love to hear how it went in your class when you use it.
