<br />
O final do semestre se aproxima e é hora de rever o que aprendemos até agora. Cada uma tem jeito de estudar seja escrevendo resumos, fazendo exercícios para revisar ou até mesmo lendo o próprio livro.<br />
<br />
Os professores da Cultura Inglesa estão sempre pensando em maneiras de auxiliar aprendizagem.<br />
<br />
Muitas vezes os professores acabam por oferecer aos alunos folhas de revisão, em preto e branco, e pouco atrativas. Pensando em tentar algo novo, veja só o "guia de estudo" que os alunos de Intermediate A podem utilizar para preparar-se para as provas finais.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nos dias de hoje, o ditado em aulas de inglês pode ser revitalizada utilizando uma ferramenta facilmente encontrada nas mãos ou nas mochilas de nossos alunos.<br />
<br />
<b>Qual seria essa ferramenta?</b> <b>OS CELULARES</b>. Sim, os celulares podem ser excelentes ferramentas pedagógicas. Tudo depende de como podemos fazer uso destes "mini computadores" nas salas de aula.<br />
<br />
A foto abaixo, foi registrada pela professora <b>Ana Maria Menezes</b>, durante uma aula de alunos do curso <b>Intermediate A</b> na unidade Copacabana.<br />
<br />
Ao invés dos alunos utilizarem lápis e caderno para a atividade, cada aluno utilizou seu próprio celular para escrever seu ditado. RESULTADO: envolvimento total !<br />

Como criar <b>"listenings"</b> mais significativos para os alunos?<br />
<br />
Pensando em oferecer aos alunos oportunidade de praticarem o inglês de maneira diferente, a professora <b>Ana Maria Menezes</b>, vem desenvolvendo com seus alunos de <b>Upper Intermediate</b> um projeto utilizando a ferramenta de internet VOKI.<br />
<br />
A cada semana, um aluno é escolhido para escrever um texto de 50 palavras utilizando linguagem recentemente aprendida em sala. O aluno então grava a leitura de seu texto utilizando o VOKI, e envia para os alunos da sala que devem escutar, transcrever e enviar para a professora para correção.

Logo abaixo está o relato de uma atividade de revisão diferente. Alunos do curso Upper Intermediate desenvolveram atividades diversas em forma de circuito ou carrossel. A cada 20 minutos, grupos de alunos mudavam de estação e de atividade. O objetivo da atividade foi possibilitar aos alunos a revisão de conteúdos vistos recentemente em sala de aula e praticarem tanto a escrita quando a conversação.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
A professora descreve a atividade:<br />
<br />
<br />
This week, I planned to revise content students have recently seen by organizing a revision lesson as a CAROUSSEL.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
First of all, I selected 3 activities :<br />
<ol>
<li>Students would complete a grammar revision sheet and then use the answer key to correct it.</li>
<li>Students would play a game called "Four-in-a-row" from the book <b><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grammar-Games-Activities-Penguin-English/dp/058246563X">"Grammar games and activities" </a> </b>where students have to know the infinitive/past/past participle of verbs.</li>
<li>Students would choose from one of the topics provided in their own course book and write a dialogue discussing it using language to agree and disagree. Then, they would use my cell phone <b><a href="http://blog.audioboo.fm/2010/12/17/iphone-app-2-0/">(Audioboo app)</a></b> to record their dialogues. </li>
</ol>
<div>
The 12 students were divided into 3 groups of four and I had them seating in different corners of the room. Students would have 20 mins to work with each activity. As a timer, I used the site <a href="http://www.onlinevideoclock.com/">ONLINE VIDEO CLOCK </a> where you set an alarm by selecting a video clip from youtube. Before the caroussel activity started I explained what students would do at each station and by the end of the class all of them would have covered the 3 activities. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Impressions?</b> </div>
<div>
I liked the way I was free to move from one group to another and help when I was needed. Students were totally involved in doing the tasks. Moving from the different stations kept a dynamic pace to the lesson. An important point is to organize activities which take a similar time to cover and also have an extra activity up your sleeve for fast-finishers (in our case, I had <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cathys-Cards-Conversation-Classroom-Combined/dp/1882483928">conversation cards</a></b> ). Next class, I intend to play their recordings from audioboo and ask them what they thought about it.</div>

Após estudarem sobre verbos que pedem o <u>gerúndio ou o infinitivo</u>, os alunos criaram suas frases e gravaram em um mesmo VOICETHREAD, um site que possibilita criar apresentações interativas.<br />
<br />
Além de seus alunos, podemos também ouvir as frases de outros professores e de alunos de outra turma.<br />

Alunos do curso Intermediate da Cultura Inglesa Uberlândia criam suas próprias frases e fazem gravação em site interativo. Logo abaixo, a professora Ana Maria Menezes conta como foi a aula. O voicethread foi criado pela professora Aurea Stela.<br />
<br />
After reading <b><a href="http://www.boxoftricks.net/2011/09/one-ipad-to-start-with/">Jose Picardo's post</a></b> about having used honly one iPad in class, I decided to give it a go. I've recently got an iPad as a gift and wanted to see what I could do with it in class.<br />
<br />
Well, this afternoon I took my iPad to class as I wanted to record students reading their own sentences to a voice thread created by a colleague (AureaStela). Stela had the brilliant idea to create a wordcloud with verbs which take GERUND and INFINITIVE and then asked her students to record sentences using the given verbs.<br />
<br />
This is what I proposed to my students today:<br />
<br />
1. First, I opened <a href="https://voicethread.com/share/3009120/">her voice thread</a> on the IWB and played the recordings for them.<br />
2. Then, I assigned a different verb to each student and asked them to make a sentence using Gerund or Infinitive. I monitored helping them out with their sentences.<br />
3. I gave them a hand-out with a grammar exercise on the same topic and asked students to complete the exercise in class. Meanwhile, I would use my iPad to move round the class to record each student reading their own sentences ( I used the voicethread app for recording) .
To make it faster, all students used my voice thread account.<br />
4. After I had saved all recordings, I played their recordings on the IWB for everyone to listen to.<br />
<br />
<b>Impressions?</b> I would definitely do this again. Students were involved and seemed to have enjoyed listening to all the sentences in class.<br />

Gostaríamos de parabenizar todos os alunos aprovados nos exames de <b>Cambridge Dez-2011</b>. Sexta-feira, alunos, pais e familiares estiveram presentes ao <b>Happy Hour da Cultura Inglesa Uberlândia</b> para a entrega dos certificados.<br />
<br />
Aproveitamos a oportunidade para conversarmos com alguns alunos aprovados pedindo dicas sobre como melhor nos prepararmos para um exame internacional de inglês.<br />

</b><br />
Esta é a proposta do projeto <b><a href="http://an-image-a-week.posterous.com/">"An image a week"</a></b> criado por <b>Ana Maria Menezes</b>, coordenadora de tecnologia da CI Uberlândia. A cada semana, alunos do curso Intermediate, escolhem uma foto de sua preferência e enviam por e-mail para ser publicado em uma página da Web. Outras turmas de outros países também toparam o desafio, formando um grupo interessante de alunos do Brasil, Bélgica, Estados Unidos, Itália, Croácia e Ucrânia.<br />
