Penny's seminar notes: Do something different with your coursebook

You can find the handout from my seminar 'Do something different with your coursebook' from 25.11.14 here.

The series of articles from English Teaching Professional that I based the seminar on can be found here.

One of the things we talked about was using the TPET or PCAE ipacks to make pelmansim, noughts and crosses and hangman games for ANY level.  You can use those ipacks to create your own games for any class!  Read Steve's step-by-step instructions here.

We also looked at using Quizlet to make vocabulary sets which you can then play games with.  It's a website that you can sign up to for free.  You type in a set of words and definitions.  You can either play games with the online vocab cards in class or you can invite your students to the page and they can flick through the cards at home to study them and then play games with them. It lets you track their progress so you know how much they've studied.  Click on the link, sign up and have a go!
