Wind Up Learning as the Year Winds Down: Activities for the Last Days of School
The last few days of the school year are upon you, and you're at a loss for what to do. Do you emphasize fun or attempt to squeeze in some last-minute learning? This week, Education World offers suggestions for keeping kids focused during the last hours of the school year. Included: More than a dozen great end-of-year ideas!
The school year winds down. End-of-year testing is complete. The days grow warmer. The kids are tired and restless. What's a teacher to do? Do you give up and concentrate on fun and games for the rest of the year? Do you attempt to accomplish some teaching right up to the last bell? Whichever approach you prefer, Education World can suggest some activities you might want to try during the last days of school.

This short kit focuses on the work of the Scottish writer Ron Butlin. It explores a little about the man as well as giving some insight into his books. The materials were intended for ELT students between the ages of 14 - 18 with an upper-intermediate level, but can easily be adapted to suit other levels and age groups.

A NEW TASK-BASED LEARNING WEBSITE
www.willis-elt.co.uk
with free downloadable lesson plans
We'd like to tell everyone that we have just started a website which is mainly devoted to our work on task-based learning and teaching.
We would like to help those who are already involved in TBLT and to encourage those who are interested in trying things out.
We have a couple of pages to introduce ourselves, then we have pages about our publications - both books and articles. Most of the articles are downloadable and you can also download a free copy of Dave's book The Lexical Syllabus.
Most important we are building up a stock of FREE LESSON PLANS for you to use, with commentaries to help those new to TBLT.
We hope the site will be useful for your subscribers, and we'd be grateful if you could pass on the address:

Introducción a la Redacción - De Castro, A. E. - El docente siempre ha necesitado, y necesita, optimizar sus habilidades para transmitir sus conocimientos, siempre debe recurrir a sus habilidades intelectuales para hacer uso de su expresión escrita y transmitir sus conocimientos a través de ella. Los docentes necesitan desarrollar nuevas técnicas para crear textos más lógicos, coherentes inteligibles, accesibles a sus estudiantes y público en general. El docente debe ser capaz de: desarrollar estrategias para estructurar lógicamente su competencia escrita; conocer, desarrollar y aplicar técnicas para el acopio y generación de ideas con fines específicos; y, conocer, desarrollar y aplicar técnicas para la organización de sus ideas en un escrito.
