I am very interested in the tasks Nikki give us as an example in her class today. I think I can try to use chatting in my class to teach vocabulary,writing, etc. And I am sure it will be a good and effective way, compared with those traditional ones. Futhermore, chatting via Internet can provide students with more opportunities to communicate with native speakers, which is a comparatively easy way to acquire authentic English.
Do you think this type of chatting activity is possible in larger classes like the ones that many CUMTB instructors have mentioned? If so, how could it be organized in the most efficient manner?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it can be organized efficiently in a large class, perhaps using chatting after class as a way to promote communication between students and that between students and instructors can be helpful and practical.
