Play and learn

Your task today is to play and learn on the websites that you got to know yesterday: LearnEnglish Kids and LearnEnglish. You can choose any games and tasks you like there and do them.

While playing, please take a look at new words that you see anywhere on these sites - in games, in instructions or anywhere else on these pages. Use the dictionary to translate them.

At the end of the lesson, please write a blog post with at least 10 new words that you have got to know. Write these words both in English and in Estonian. If there are two of you at one computer, please do one wordlist for two. As the title, write your names and then wordlist from games. For example: Triin's and Kati's wordlist from games.

Also, in the blog post, please say the names of the games that you played.

In case you can't log in to your blog, please e-mail me your wordlist at triin.noorkoiv@tyhg.edu.ee.

You will get a grade for your lesson work.

See you next week, dears!

Welcome to the New Year of blogging!

The time has come to sweep the dust* from our blogs, which we haven't used for quite some time already! :) Here are the tasks for your today's English lesson in the computer lab.


1. Take a brief** look at these two websites and choose one of them, which you would like to focus on:
a) LearnEnglish
b) LearnEnglish Kids


2. Your main question to answer is this:

HOW CAN YOU USE THIS WEBSITE FOR LEARNING ENGLISH - DURING THE LESSONS OR AT HOME?

By the end of the lesson, please come up with at least 4 ideas and write them on your blog: think of 2 ideas for the lessons and 2 ideas for home use.

After each idea, please write also the reasons why you like this activity and think we should do it.

Be as concrete*** as possible, copy-paste the exact links**** for what we could listen & watch, read & write, play or make.

Make sure that you know how much time you have during the lesson so that you can finish this task. Every student will get a grade for this lesson's work.

Blogging instructions: as the title of your blog post, write the name of the website you are talking about.


NB! If you don't understand some words on these pages, you can use the help of this dictionary. Type the English word you don't know into the box named 'english'. If there is an Estonian word you would like to translate into English, write it in the box named 'estonian'.

For listening, you can use your earphones. Ask teacher Hanna to help you use them.


HAVE FUN! :)
