Same principles for all methods :
lessons based on 4 phases
Phase 1 : warm-up (song, date, weather…)
Phase 2 : discovery of the new element of the day
(listen, understand, repeat)
Phase 3 : activation by groups (whole class, then pair works (dialogs)
Phase 4 : ending ritual (song, what have we learned today ?)
What about ICT ?
- electronic correspondence (example : OZ mates)
- ePals
- eTwinning
But no softwares…
