Curriculum meeting week 19 term 3 - Language Games

program buildings

Language games:
This week, we had a training session where we played a game. The teachers were divided into two groups, and there was a chart with numbers from 1 to 20. We can not write notes. Each team must call two numbers and try to match the information in both numbers so that they make sense. 

At the beginning, we were slow, but few minutes into the game everyone was participating and engaged. what was interesting is that Mr. Obek choose sentences what were related to information teachers needed to know at work. That what made the game meaningful and not just a game.

I think the concept of gamification in learning a new language is very important and teachers should give it more attention if they want their classes to be fun and enjoyable.

Also this week, Mr. John Zerling from EGA visited us and made classroom visits, and then had a meeting with the teachers. 

That's all for this week.
