Just clic on the link above and you'll go to the talk group wich I've created in order to record all messages from my students. They'll talk about their plans for this summer holidays. I'm sure students will love this new way of communication.
The aim of this activity is that my students practice not only the speaking skill, but also the writing skill. As it might be difficult for them to just talk (considering it's their first time), they are allowed and encouraged to write down what they plan to say.
Dear Mónica,
ResponderEliminarThanks to your entry using Voxopop.Now I have a clearer idea about how we can use this tool in the practice(I wanted to use it too, but I didn't dare).
All my best regards!
Thanks Monica,
EliminarIt's not complicated at all. I encourage you to use it .. it's quite funny
Hi Mónica,
ResponderEliminarI was not familiar with this site, but it does look wonderful for developing speaking skills among peers. I'm sure the extra option of writing what you mean to say encourages many students to participate, since it reduces the risk of not being understood :)
Thank you for letting us know!
Hi,
ResponderEliminarI'm quite sure that tool it's very useful for improve our resources at class. As you comment it might be a good option to develop speaking skills, but you can't forget that the records can be used also as a listening.
Thank you for discover us that tool.
Of course Guillem, you're right. When students listen to themselves they realized about their mistakes or lacks and then try to improve it next time
EliminarHello Monica!
ResponderEliminarThanks for sharing with us this tool that can be very useful for teachers.
I have taken a general look at all the blogs that have been published so far and I found new ideas, suggestions and useful programs like this.
I think this activity is very beneficial to us all, because here we can share our wisdoms and ideas.
I've kept this application on my computer.
Thank you Monica.
Anna
Thanks to you Anna
EliminarIn fact, we are all learning a lot with this activity; you can see others' ideas and this encourages you to keep working on it
I'm learning a lot too!
Hello Monica!
ResponderEliminarI've never tried to use voxopop but I find it really interesting.
I think it's a great tool to motivate our students to speak with their peers and, as the discussions are presented in an appealing way, that will encourage them to use this tool even during their spare time.
Moreover, this tool not only helps to improve their speaking skills but also their listening as they need to understand what it has been said in order to make their contributions. And, when they get familiarize with voxopop, they can even participate in other topics they are interested in because they are going to be able to discuss with people from different parts of the world.
Kind regards!
Laura.
You're right Laura, it'll be really helpful for students to get in touch with other foreing people, so they'll improve their english, as they'll have to make an effort to talk. They'll listen other accents, getting used to them and improving their listening skills so far.
EliminarHello Monica!
ResponderEliminarI think that this is a very helpuful tool to our teaching, because it is very motivating and you can improve you atudents´listening and speaking
Besides, it is a great idea to propose your students to write first what they are going to record, in order to enhance their writung too.
Kind regards
I'm glad you liked this proposal!
