Notes from Staff Meeting July 12 2005

Discussions of Correction Techniques, including:

• Peer correction (involve all students)
• Selective correction - don't interfere with the flow of communication, but where it affects meaning
• Self correction
• Echo correction
• Finger correction (especially for word order)
• Ask a PAIR of students to answer (shares burden, pressure)
• Ask students in order round the class (gives them time to think)

Discussions of ways of getting students motivated first thing

• Running Dictation
• Shouting Dictation
• Questions on a text at a distance (have to run up and down stairs to where the teacher is sitting)

Also, notes on stopping use of Mother Tongue (L1) in class:

• Fines (go to the charity)
• Order seating competitively
• Appeal to students' better nature (other students are excluded from conversations)
