Englipedia - "Sharing a little, gaining a lot."
Listen to the show.
The show starts off with a brief look at the possible hazards associated with teaching ESL. Mark has a pretty interesting story from work this week.
This podcast we’re glad to welcome Patrick Bickford, from Englipedia. Patrick tells us a little about where he’s teaching, what he’s doing and about the website he’s been working on for the past year.
“Englipedia is about people contributing a little of their own ideas, and in turn gaining a valuable resource by which we all can benefit. It is dedicated to Assistant Language Teachers, Japanese Teachers of English and Homeroom teachers working within Japan’s … public education sector.”
Patrick tells us a bit about Englipedia, what the site contains and how teachers can use and adapt some of the resources.
You can discuss this show as well as older shows here on the ESL Teacher Talk Forums. We’d love to hear from you.
Game of the Week: Mario and Luigi
Patrick brings with him the Game of the Week this week. It’s a whole class activity aimed at elementary school children. It could also be used with kindergarten classes and small groups as well. It’s a fun review/practice game and gets a little of that video game energy into the classroom. We hope you enjoy the activity!
