  • Shows the teacher remains an indispensable member of the classroom community. The teacher still serves to initiate the conversation and helps students to "notice" language points. In short, dogme is an idea that is not new in any way. Dogme builds upon the methods of the past without throwing them out completely. What I see in this video is the opportunity for students to guide the direction of the classroom in as much as the teacher is guiding it. Many places have no books or technology.

  • @MATESOLUSA Thank you for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. I researched Dogme ELT for my dissertation and it was a truly interesting and incredibly useful journey. I found out so much which supports your assertion that Dogme is not new but has been repackaged and remodelled for teachers.

  • Interesting! Look forward to trying out your ideas...

    What do you do if only one student goes to one of the categories while the rest divide themselves between the other two?

    Cheers, Lizzie.

  • @Flicka371 If one student was in one of the categories, I went over to chat with them so that they would not feel alone and ask their opinion (why? why not? etc). I made a note of some of the language that they produced for the whiteboard later.

  • Thanks Martin for a useful and well-edited video. Agree we need more of these.

    A tiny pedantic criticism for the future - would you subtitle the language on the board, esp. the initial material? Ta.

  • @HelloCruelWorldItsMe I will try to create a blogpost about the video and will link it in with the description. I hope that helps.

  • @DaveDodgson Only just come across this, amazingly! Agree with Dave - it's a very brave and hugely worthwhile thing to post a video of your teaching. Great stuff!

  • Agreed that we need to see more of these examples. Thanks for taking the plunge and inviting us into your classroom Martin. :)

  • Thank you for the comment, it's greatly appreciated. I will try to upload another video (Dogme ELT unrelated).

  • an impressive dogme lesson, I feel we need a lot more of these, so thanks for getting the ball rolling.
