Severe Winter in Ashgabat
Hi all the teachers,
It's unbearably cold this season. How is it connected with teaching?
Closely. When it is cold the students are passive and suffering. They want to get warm, put on a lot of clothes and look like cabbages. What do I do when it is very cold in class? I play with my students. There are some active games which are very effective. One of them is running dictation. You know that game I hope:
Devide the class into two or three groups. Post the text for dictation on the board. Ask every team to write the text correctly. How will they do it? All the teams sit separately from each other. One student from every team runs to the board, reads the sentence, remembers it, then runs back and dictates the sentence to his team mate, who writes it down on the papaer. Then the latter one runs to the board and remembers the following sentence. He dictates the sentence to the third student of his team, etc. Naturally, the first student from the team will write the last. This way the team writes down all the sentences on their sheet of paper and submits to the teacher. All the teams compare the results. It's very good if the text has dramatical contest. After the dictation the teacher may encourage the students to dramatize the events from the text.
My dear colleagues, make your students run to the success.

Teachers ' Secrets
My greetings to you, my readers. I’ll tell you some secrets of teaching today.
1) Teach vocabulary first. Practice pronunciation.
2) Make your students read, write, speak and listen at every lesson.
3) If you feel bored, be sure, your students will be bored too.
4) Ask questions which may be answered differently. Your students should have a chance to express their opinion or vision.
5) Accept all the answers and let your students explain why they think so. Correct the mistakes gently.
6) Try to include the task where students make something with their hands. That make them think about what they are learning.
7) Always remember that teaching is the most important job in the world. You are shaping the future and are a model for your students.
