and for French speakers learning English:



Cours d’anglais, conseils, exercises, videos, etc

  1. Lisez les conseils: http://www.anglaiscours.fr/conseils-pour-ameliorer-son-anglais + https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz3efoLoIqr81a0PDpu_pU5DXyhkATaUU
Examples que je trouve très utils:
  1. Soyez curieux. Familiarisez-vous avec le site web. Cherchez d’autre materiel sur autres sites par example.
  2. Familiarisez-vous avec la formation d’une frase anglaise, la fonction et utilisation des auxiliaires. Si vous avez les bases solides, tous les autres niveaux vont etres plus faciles à suivre.   http://www.anglaiscours.fr/construire-phrases-anglais.html

  1. Annotez votre vocabulaire, lisez ce que vous faites souvent (révision espacée ci-desous). Ecoutez tout ce que voyez ou cherchez. La prononciation et l’orthograph sont un nightmare, alors faites attention!!  http://www.anglaiscours.fr/memoriser-rapidement-du-vocabulaire-grace-au-systeme-de-repetition-espacee.html

CFE word formation links and tips




WORD FORMATION – USE OF ENGLISH FOR FIRST CERTIFICATE

Recommendations for doing these exercises at home.
Don’t worry if you make many mistakes in your first attempt. You get better by repeating and repeating, but first, make sure you understand what you’re reading as well as any attempt at producing the word. Two of the objectives are to help you become familiar with words you didn’t know and to develop an intuition how to create derivatives.
-          Read the whole text once or twice and identify words you don’t understand.
-          Use google images or a dictionary to find out what the words are or mean.
-          Read text a second time, ensuring that you understand the meaning of words and identify what word type you need in each gap (noun, adjective, verb, adverb, opposite adjective?)
-          Do the exercise and check the answers.
-      Added value:    Cut and paste the text onto google translate or reverso and listen to it. Make you know how to pronounce words and sentences.
-          Do it all over again, two or three times.
-          Go back to this text in a few days’ time and do it over again.

Further exploitation of the text: Do you understand the suffixes? Does it make sense? Do you have an equivalent for such and such word? If not, what helps you identify the idea/meaning? 
If you translated the text, how different would it be from the English version? Would sentences be considerably different?

success, or not

You know when you get very enthusiastic about something and you kind of build up your expectations and get excited and all and it all falls through? Well, this does not seem to be the case with the idea taken from the IH workshop on new technologies from a few weeks ago.
I am rather chuffed with the relative success of inicitate taken on recently of creating the blogs with and for my students. Sara and Raquel seem to be keen writers producing an average of an entry every couple of days, which is not bad.
Useful and fear-overcoming and a solid two-hour session as it was the last one on technology, today's been never-ending and boring. Too theoretical, detailing different three-letter acronyms designating approaches and methodologies applied in teaching languages: AAA, PPP, ARC, suggestopedia and others. I think Roger and other speakers manipulate us, saying certain information is or not relevant (or whatever word is more suitable here) to suit their needs. Or is it the trends in the market? I didn't buy certain things he's tried to sell us today.
