This document discusses giving instructions and checking for understanding in English language teaching. It provides examples of clear instructions like "Work in groups. Talk about your weekend." and suggests using simple yes/no questions called Instruction-Checking Questions (ICQs) to confirm learners understood, such as "Are you going to work alone?" after the instruction "Work in groups." Trainees are asked to reflect on what they found useful and what they need to learn more about regarding giving instructions.
4 Steps to Develop Comprehension and Analysis Skills at HomeOxford Tutoring
The world of education centers on using new research and experience to identify what students need to learn and how teachers can present that information better. While this system has been trusted to help students reach their academic goals in the classroom, what are students and parents supposed to do if they feel that more can be done to enable students to reach their goals?
Engage with Assessment (Jo Szoke - IATEFL 2022)Joanna Szőke
When we think of student engagement, it’s usually games and exciting activities that come to mind. No wonder why because as Barkley (2010, pp. xi-xii) puts it “competing for the attention of our students and engaging them in meaningful learning is a profound and ongoing challenge,” and games tend to always save the day. But how can we provide meaningful learning as well as an enjoyable experience? Assessment is perhaps not something you would instantly think of since most of us believe it is always teacher-focused and students simply suffer it through. But testing is not the only way to find out more about our students’ knowledge and progress. There are plenty of formative assessment techniques that are less intimidating and more informative than a simple test. Moreover, if we involve our students in the assessment and feedback process by giving them the opportunity to evaluate themselves and each other, you can lay the grounds for a more successful learning journey that engages your teenage students at the same time. In this practical workshop, I will demonstrate different formative assessment activities that can boost your students’ engagement and improve their learning competencies, such as critical thinking, learning to learn, communication, and collaboration. After each demo activity, we are going to think through which competencies the particular activity develops and how it engages students. There will also be room for further discussion on how these tasks can be tailored to your own context.
This is a whole class activity designed to facilitate student reflection on a project. The intent is to begin to build a student's ability to self-reflect on the learning process.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
