The document discusses three steps to developing learner autonomy: 1) Encourage experimentation and goal-setting with clear, measurable goals and feedback; 2) Provide opportunities for out-of-class learning in addition to in-class instruction; and 3) Continually motivate learners through social interaction and stimulating situational learning activities, as motivation is dynamic and can be influenced by others' enthusiasm or boredom. Metacognition and developing learner knowledge of self, tasks, and strategies is also discussed.
This document discusses exam preparation classes and their potential positives and negatives. It examines general English courses which aim to develop real-world skills versus exam-focused classes.

The document discusses the format of tasks called "Yes/No/Not stated" used for listening comprehension assessments. It provides examples of statements and examines how to analyze each statement by identifying the key information or situation being asked, finding the relevant part of the text to answer the question, and comparing the statement and text answers to determine if the statement is true, false, or cannot be determined from the information given. Common student errors are also discussed, such as not being able to distinguish between situations where there is enough information to verify a statement is true versus where there is not enough information to make a determination. The document aims to help students understand the process and pitfalls of this task format.
The document outlines grammar games and exercises for teaching English, including sentence matching, gap fills, storytelling, quizzes, and error correction.

This document discusses how to gamify English classes to motivate millennial students. It explains that millennials grew up with technology and are always connected online. To engage them, it is important to incorporate game elements into lessons. This can be done through using points, leaderboards, badges and other rewards to motivate students.

The goal is for students to focus on learning English rather than just getting points.
This document discusses using VoiceThread for speaking homework assignments for intermediate English language learners.
