The main aim of this course is to provide information to secondary English teachers about the multiple internet and
The course is divided into 6 modules, with 5 practices and some exercises each, and a final project. It is estimated that it will take 45 hours - 6 hours per module, and 9 to do the project.
When planning the course, it seemed quite obvious that classifying the teaching resources according to the four skills would make it easier to introduce them in our teaching practice, since most teachers use the internet as a complement of their textbook. Thus, the first four modules deal with vocabulary, grammar, written and oral comprehension and production. As the preferences of a 12-year-old are not the same as those of a Batxillerat student, nor is their level of English, the resources are classified with the users in mind, that is, there are practices with activities for students with adaptació curricular, 1st cycle of ESO, 2nd cycle and Batxillerat.
Finally, in the second part of the course, we will explore new methodologies for the EFL classroom: webquests and project work (the fifth module), and show tools and resources intended to make life easier for the teacher (the sixth).
The modules are the following:
Each module consists of 5 practices and some exercises which must be sent to the tutor on the date due.
We would recommend that you do these exercises with your students in mind, so that at the end of the course you have some materials ready to put into practice in your own classes.
You may follow the logical order of the modules and practices, or you may access the different activities for the same level (e.g. all the practices for 1st cycle of ESO). In any case, the course map will provide a shortcut to all the contents.
These course materials are best viewed with the updated versions of Internet Explorer and Mozilla (both available in the CD-ROM Materials de formació and in DVDweb).
This course requires a basic knowledge of Windows. The student teachers must know how to create folders, copy files, copy and paste, install programs, surf the net or send an e-mail. They should also take advantage of bookmarks (favoritos in IExplorer or adreces d’interès in Mozilla) so as to save interesting URLs for future use.
Some of the practices will require an XTEC username and password. If you do not have one, or do not remember your password, go to Atenció a l’usuari.
Each student teacher will be assigned a tutor, who will guide him/her through the course. The students may ask questions if problems arise, ask for advice or suggestions to carry out the tasks on the Educampus Formació (http://edu365.com/educampus ).
The tutor will monitor the students’ progress based on the exercises sent.
The exercises must be sent to the tutor on the date due. They must be compressed in zip format and sent over the Educampus Formació (http://edu365.com/educampus).
