Всем маленьким фанатам посвящается.
1) Ученики смотрят на табличку и составляют предложения.
2) Проверьте фронтально, найдите самого-самого в каждой строке (the strongest, the fastest, the most dangerous, etc.).
3) Ученики выбирают 1 любимого персонажа и составляют такую же табличку для него.
4) Разделите класс на пары и устройте мини-битву.
Макс: MY character is faster.
Маша: No, MY character is faster.
Макс и Маша (хором): One, Two, Three!
Вскрываются, считают звездочки и определяют победителя.
После этого снова меняемся партнерами и продолжаем.

According to researchers, whether you see the old or the young person in that image (or in this one) says a lot about you. If you saw the young woman first, it indicates you are more optimistic, happy and a bit impulsive. If you initially saw the old man in the first picture (or the old woman in this picture,) it indicates you are more experienced and tend to think critically and see things from all angles. There's not wrong answer — just a different kind of perception.

Present Perfect — настоящее минное поле из ошибок для тех, кто только начинает разбираться в английском. Чтобы помочь вам отработать это время с учениками, преподаватель Лусик Арустамова опубликовала в блоге Skyteach подборку нескучных и простых в организации заданий. Вот несколько из них:
▪ Where have I been?
Игра с элементом CLIL: нарисуйте на стикерах 10 флагов разных стран (выберите самые известные, чтобы ученики смогли их узнать). Прикрепите стикеры детям на лоб, как в игре «Угадай, кто ты».
Задача учеников — задавать вопросы, чтобы угадать «свой» флаг: “Have I been to Italy? Have I been to the USA?”. Остальные отвечают: “No, you haven’t” или “Yes, you have”.
▪ I know what you have done
Приготовьте список из 10 activities на выбор: play basketball, play football, dance like ballerina, spin around, eat ice cream etc. Один из учеников выходит в центр класса, другой поворачивается к нему спиной так, чтобы его не видеть. Первый студент старается беззвучно изобразить одно из действий из списка. Второй угадывает: “Have you danced like a ballerina?”
▪ Find it if you can
Разделите класс на две группы и каждой раздайте один и тот же текст. Задача — найти в нем и выписать как можно больше предложений в Present Perfect Tense. Побеждает та группа, которая быстрее справится с заданием. Проигравшая группа приседает 10 раз.

Domino "DAILY ROUTINE"
It's a game to practice the simple present using daily activities as vocabulary.
My students liked it so much. It's very simple to play. The teacher chooses one student that will begin. After, the others students will add their cards according to the picture or the sentence. The first student that put all his/her cards in the game wins!

You have seen Ming Wei answer three questions about her hometown. @LanguageStuff
Let’s analyse Ming Wei’s first set of answers in terms of fluency.
She is willing to speak at length; however, some problems affect her fluency:
Instances of hesitation (i.e. uhm) and unnecessary repetition of words and phrases (e.g. “… It is one of the … one of the…”, “…it is located at the … at the coast”).
Slight overuse of the phrases you know and actually which affects the flow of ideas.
Overly fast speech at times.
Ming Wei’s second attempt improved in terms of fluency because she considered the following features:
Continuity
Effective responses are continuous and have few hesitations. Continuity is affected by three aspects:
Hesitation: This occurs when speakers pause in the middle or at the end of an idea. They usually say uhm or ahh. While this is a natural part of speech, too much hesitation affects the flow of ideas. The examiner considers this in the score for fluency.
Repetition: Unnecessary repetition of words and short phrases in the middle of a sentence should be avoided as they impact the flow of ideas.
Crutch words: Using words or phrases like you know, like and actually can make you sound natural, but not when used repeatedly within one single answer. Other common crutch words are: I mean and so.
Fillers
Fillers are set words or phrases for use when you cannot think of a word or expression, or you want to avoid hesitation or long pauses. They are very useful as they give you time to organise ideas or think of content.
Some common fillers include:
To be honest…, What I mean is…, You know what I mean?…, It’s difficult to say, but…, Actually…, In fact…, Well…, You see…, I suppose…
An effective way of starting an answer is with a filler. For example, if the question is: What do you do on the weekends?
Instead of directly saying: “I go to the beach on the weekends.”
You could use a filler like this: “There are many things I do on the weekends, but I usually go to the beach.”
The fillers below can also be quite useful when starting answers in Part 3 of the test:
That’s a good/interesting question!…, Well, I hadn’t thought about that before, but…, Let me think…, Let me see…, I’m not quite sure about that, but…
Pace
Pace refers to how fast or slowly you speak. Try to speak at a natural pace; that is, do not speak too slowly or too quickly. If you speak too slowly, your flow of ideas may be lost. On the other hand, if you speak too quickly, the examiner may find it difficult to understand you. Both of these can impact your score for fluency and pronunciation. @LanguageStuff

What are collocations? Ming Wei tried to used a range of vocabulary but some collocations were used incorrectly. But what are collocations?
Collocations
A collocation is a group of two or more words that are almost always put together to create a specific meaning. Using a different combination of words sounds unnatural or awkward. Some common collocations are:
to make a mistake, but not to do a mistake
a big decision, but not a large decision
to commit a crime, but not perform a crime
Ming Wei used the following collocations incorrectly:
the most enormous city (the correct collocation is the largest city)
business region (a more common collocation would be business centre or financial hub)
tall rise (the correct collocation is high rise)
shopping in the window (window shopping would be the right collocation).
Collocations in the English language can follow several structures:
adjective + noun (e.g. He gave me some excellent advice.)
noun + verb (e.g. The disease spread before anything could be done to prevent it.)
verb + noun (e.g. I have always tried to follow my father’s advice.)
verb + adverb (e.g. Consider the proposal carefully before you make a decision.)
adverb + adjective (e.g. An ability to speak Japanese is highly desirable for this job.)
noun + noun (e.g. The coach pushes the players to perform beyond their comfort zone)
For a single word, there can be more than one collocation. Let’s take the word rain as an example:
There was heavy rain last night. (adjective + noun)
At sunset, rain began to pour down. (noun + verb)
It rained non-stop all night. (verb + adverb)
A few drops of rain had fallen. (noun + noun)
Discussion
Think of a collocation that you often use and write a sentence using this collocation in the comment box below. Feel free to comment on other participants’ sentences.
