Activities for Teaching the Future Tense

This evening, my dear friend Annie told me about an activity a colleague of hers used when teaching the future tense.  She asked her students to write a letter to their future self five years from now.  It souned interesting.  Then online I found the same activity used not to teach the language pattern, but as a self-monitoring, goal-setting exercise.

Teaching English as a Skill, Rather Than a Subject

Yesterday I said in my blog that English should be used in English class as a tool of communication, which I tried my best to do when I was teaching. The effect may not be seen soon, but it will reach far.  Here is a text message I got late last night from the former angel student who, as I mentioned in yesterday's blog, was fresh from college and got a new job, along with the other two.

Happy New Year!--"New year revellers welcome 2013 with fireworks"--A BBC News Report

Happy New Year!

The news report given by BBC as follows comes along with a video presenting fireworks display in different places around the globe: Auckland, Sydney, Pyongyang, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Moscow, Dubai, Berlin, Edingburgh, London, Rio de Jeneiro, and New York.  Among all these, my favorites are the ones in Hong Kong (01:54), London (04:48), and Rio de Janeiro (05:17).  The display in Dubai (03:26) looks like the one in Taipei 101.
