THIS IS THE LAST PODCAST (for the foreseeable future). 



I&#8217;m hardly prolific with podcast releases but this will be the last one for the foreseeable future. I&#8217;ve decided to concentrate more on the YouTube side of things.

The channel will have materials, concept videos and general useful teaching stuff! Please do all the usual YouTube stuff so I can be more visible on the site and you know when new videos are released (plus, it&#8217;s a digital pat on the head for me).

With Sam Hellmuth of York University, England, we think about these questions:



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>With language acquisition, which comes first &#8211; production or perception?</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Why do your students sound angry when they aren&#8217;t?</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How much does accent affect comprehension?</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Can we learn to &#8216;de-accent&#8217;?</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Should we bother teaching English stress patterns?</li></ul>







Sam smoothly mixes theory and practical tips with some excellent real-world examples. Something for everyone.



We make a few references to the Lingua Franca Core, which is a topic that was covered way back in episode 4.

{bleep bloop bleep} I booted up cyborg teacher Stafford Lumsden to talk about online learning and the changing perception of what exactly a classroom is. We are more connected than ever and this shift in technology is changing the options that students have and how we teach. We discuss&#8230;.
<ul>
<li>distance learning</li>
<li>e-learning vs online learning</li>
<li>Is online education as &#8216;good&#8217; as offline?</li>
<li>Basics of having a repository</li>
<li>LMS &#8211; Learning Management System &#8211; create assignments, give feedback, students upload and interact with each other and the instructor</li>
<li>The pros and cons of a fully online classroom</li>
<li>No one-size-fits-all with online teaching</li>
</ul>
Useful resources:
Google &#8211; heard of it? add dot com. It&#8217;s quite good.
Google Sites &#8211; make your own web pages
classroom.google.com &#8211; education specific &#8216;classrooms&#8217;. Students can submit and track assignments. Teachers can receive and give feedback on assignments all within the Google eco-system.
wix.com &#8211; make your own web pages
moodle.org &#8211; open source LMS. Requires some computer savvy to use
Blackboard.com &#8211; pricy. Would require financial support from your department

&#8220;Oh googie&#8230;dictation&#8230;.&#8221;
Possibly one of the most misused input/output techniques. The dreaded dictation. How can we move beyond playing a CD or reading and having students just write down what they hear? Oksana Kharley takes us through some useful approaches and techniques for practicing listening and writing that don&#8217;t include playing audio a couple of times and then handing out a script. Her ideas can help open up some new avenues for activities that the word and a new way of thinking about &#8220;dictation&#8221; (eg, does it NEED to include writing?)
Some of these activities come from:
Paul Davis &amp; Mario Rinvolucri. (2006). Dictation. New methods, new possibilities. CUP.

I caught up with Roger Fusselman after his KOTESOL conference presentation on using TED talks and videos in general for language teaching. This is a MUST listen for anyone using visual media in the classroom.
We cover the DOs and DON&#8217;Ts of choosing videos as well as his principles of using media:
Challenge / Meaningful / Support / Choice / Integration (connecting ideas) / Variety / Application
