Слайд 2Animation in voice (vocal expression) means:
maintaining vocal fitness; varying vocal pitch;
controlling voice volume; adjusting voice quality.
Volume: become louder with the emphasized word, or dramatically softer (to convey emotion).
Vowel length: draw out the vowel
of the emphasized word.
Pause before. (If it becomes very long, it
becomes “the dramatic pause”).
Enunciate the consonants.
Слайд 3Using a model sentence such as the following, practice the various
techniques by repeating
the entire sentence, but emphasizing one element. The context is provided to contrast the key word with a contrary thought, as if the listener misunderstood:
didn’t asked not steal not just one
I | t o l d | y o u | t o b u y | m e | a b u n c h | o f r o s e s .
not Ann not Jay not John not petunias
Слайд 4Varying speaking rate: slow down the emphasized word and speed up
the de-emphasized words.
Correct breathing.
Maintaining good acoustics; audibility
(but without shouting).
Find the best seating
arrangements for a class:
circle, horseshoe, orderly
rows, separate tables, pairs,
opposing teams, etc.
Слайд 5Particular vocal devices include:
Setting off a phrase or word with
strategic
pauses;
Slowing down the articulation of the most important word or phrase;
Speaking the most important words at a markedly lower pitch;
Using rising inflection to signal the climactic point; or speaking in a noticeably
quieter tone to make
the students listen more closely.
Слайд 6Creative and spontaneous use of
classroom physical space
(try to teach from
the back of
the classroom; try entering
the students’ physical space - sit
next to them, lean on their chairs, walk slowly between desks).
Make a class less
teacher-dominated!
Remember about sight
lines.
Слайд 7Be sure that you can be seen and heard by students
seated at various points in the classroom. Break away from the podium, desk or chalkboard. Use space to emphasize important points, establish a desired relationship with students, and hold students’ attention.
Слайд 8Improvisation skills. Altering the pace of the lesson. Although it is
important to have a pre-arranged plan,
being spontaneous and
flexible creates a vibrant lesson.
Before class begins: During the lesson: need
good preparation! for variety within a
secure setting.
Слайд 9
Teachers need to walk a fine line between predictability and surprise,
without lurching into either monotony or anarchy.
Bring appropriate humor and
jokes into the classroom: do not
forget about its impact on
teaching and
possible benefits
for students.
Слайд 10Teachers should mark the stages of a lesson and changes of
activity.
Make a clear start (like the rise of a theatre curtain).
To re-focus the students’ attention during
the lesson: clap your hands, raise your hand.
When a lesson is finished, give students a summary of what has happened.
Слайд 11Creating surprise and anticipation in the classroom.
The use of suspense makes
material more intriguing for students. Try developing an “anticipatory set” at the beginning of class:
a question which you
will answer by the end
of the lesson.
Слайд 12Always think about creative, dynamic beginnings and endings.
Try to make a
dramatic entrance and memorable exit.
Do not forget about opening and closing remarks. End on a high note, giving a feeling of completeness.
Classroom management (the ability to control and inspire a class; maintaining discipline). Find attention-getters!
Слайд 13Classroom management includes:
Timing activities
Arranging and rearranging seating
Deciding where you will stand
or sit
Establishing or relinquishing authority
Gathering and holding
students’ attention
Critical moments
(dealing with
unexpected problems)
Use of silence
Слайд 14Try to spread your attention
evenly and appropriately.
Use your intuition to
gauge
what students are feeling.
Elicit honest feedback
from students.
Really listen to your
students!
Develop a firm
warmth or a warm
firmness.
Слайд 15What elements are necessary for successful language teaching and learning?
Engagement:
games, music, discussions, stimulating pictures, dramatic stories, amusing anecdotes, etc.
Study: focus on language (grammar, vocabulary, etc)
Activate: exercises designed to get students using language as freely and communicatively as they can (role-play)
The lesson sequence:
Engage Study Activate
Слайд 16Role-playing: activities where students are
asked to imagine that they are
in different
situations and act accordingly.
Acting out dialogues: way of encouraging
quiet students to speak more freely.
Developing drama in English:
the route to improve English.
Слайд 17Effective types of using drama activities:
Simulation (a large-scale role play)
Short drama
games involving movement
and imagination (“Be someone else”)
Guided or prepared improvisation
Acting play scripts
(short sketches or scenes)
Слайд 18Drama is a unique
teaching tool, vital for
language development,
as
it simulates reality and
develops self expression.
The school of the future will, perhaps, not be a
school as we understand it—with benches,
blackboards, and a teacher’s platform—it may be a
theatre, a library, a museum, or a conversation.
—Leo Tolstoy
Слайд 19Aims of drama in education:
1. To help students understand themselves and
the language they learn, to motivate them.
2. To help students know how and when (and when not) to adapt to the world they live in.
3. To help students gain knowledge
and satisfaction from the medium of
drama.
Слайд 20Humanising language teaching:
Putting the ‘H-U-M-A-N’ into ‘being’ a good teacher
H
(humorous)
U (unexpected)
M (motivating)
A (active and artistic)
N (natural)
Whatever their personal style, all teachers are performers and the classroom is their stage. But success can depend on the kind of show they put on.
Now the curtain
comes down.
Слайд 21Try to welcome your students with a smile and comments how
glad you are to see them.
Never show anger. Don't be a punisher.
Never lose your cool. All things will pass.
Things in your classroom will happen.
This goes hand in hand with being professional.
Being always nervous
is a sure way
to shorten your
career.
Слайд 22Give students choices if possible.
Positive feedback at all times (try to
use positive statements when commenting on students' work).
Accept every student no matter what.
It’s time to get ready
for the next lesson…
