It
is our pleasure to invite Ruth Yeh, an in-service English teacher at Taipei First Girls High School, sharing a number of useful applications related to English teaching and learning with TESOL practitioners in Taichung today. This is a heated issue since online teaching has become an ordinary thing for all teachers all over the world. Therefore, we English teachers need to equip ourselves with the miscellaneous skills on applying technology to English teaching.
At the beginning of the speech, Ruth introduced Word Search and Bingo Baker for English teachers to use when we want to have a test or practice on vocabulary as a warm-up. They are quite user-friendly and teachers can generate word puzzles and bingo cards with ease.
Also, Ruth mentioned that Google Art and Culture can be fantastic materials if we English teachers are eager to get to know more about the background knowledge of various topics. Take holocaust for example, we can find a lot of cherished photographs associated with Anne Frank, which are vivid and prized. All of the information could be combined with Google Jamboard to add colors to our English classroom.
Lastly, Google Docs is definitely the most powerful tool for students to cooperate with each other to learn English through co-editing.
