do u think it is natural to learn english using the transaltion method or should the learner only speak in the target language.

The students in this lesson do not display a need to gain mastery over the form, they are well in control of it and the "drill" cum "game". It would be nice to see more "classroom context" videos like this with live learners, but specifically ones that demonstrate real pedagogical problems, like how and when to deal with learner error, how to scaffold language, or how to manage large classes, for example. These kinds of videos would probably be much more of interest to language teachers.

Interesting video from an interesting series. Added to favorites

[pawsoned]

I, as a teacher, find this video very interesting and I am very grateful that it's here as a resource and help for other teachers. Thumbs up for the bloke in the video.

Hello Britculture,

A certain amount of drill (minimal) has been shown to be effective at raising students' awareness of form. Then that drill has to be used as part of a communicative lesson. If this game/drill is the only practice that is given then it is inadequate, as the writer states. If it's part of a larger lesson, it's probably a good idea, at least some of the time.

All the best,

BridgeTEFL

You are treating learners as if they were stupid!

Some responses made by the students ere correct, however, they restrict the language they use according to the rules of the game.

My question is.... how far does this classroom reflect real use of language and communication? Contemporary views of learning and teaching plus SLA research is not present here.

Sorry for being so negative but this is exactly what shouldn't be happening in the 21st century!
