Speaking activity with Genially
1.Group
Formation:
groups of 2
or 3 students are formed making sure that at least 1 member has got
technological skills.
Students
choose the topic among the 3 alternatives I gave them (I restrict the
alternatives for time’s sake). Once I introduced Genially to them, they are
free to choose the modality that suits their Project better. My students then
decided the topic to speak about and after that they started gathering relevant
information on the internet. Finally, they logged in Genially and created their
presentations.
2.Examples of
my students’ presentations can be seen in the following link:
This is a picture of
their presentation on the digital board.
And this is
their audio (to be able to listen to this audio it must be downloaded)
A second
example about a phobia:
3.Lastly, as
regards the level of satisfaction of the whole task itself, I must confess that
I am again surprised by how well the task has been adopted by my students. They
have been very motivated throughout the whole project, they have had fun in the
making and they have enjoyed the tool itself. In fact, one of the groups
started using it for an oral presentation in Spanish Language. Eventually the
objectives have been accomplished, namely, collaborative group work and
motivation to use English communicatively.
Hello Rafael!
ResponderEliminarMy name is Almudena and I am also participating in the course "Innovative teaching practices supported by the focused use of ICT tools in the language classroom". I have had a look at your blog and I really like the way you have structured it. I have read the explanations about the activities you have designed, it is very easy to go through the steps you have follow to develop them: objectives, sequence of exercises, etc. Congratulations for your great job with students!!
