“Without grammar little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed”.    Hi everyone, today’s topic is vocabulary. Vocabulary is one of the most important skills in teaching and learning a foreign language. Students usually find it difficult to speak English fluently, they need words in order to express themselves. They consider speaking and writing activities boring because they use the same words and expressions every time and some missing words interrupt their conversations. And the reason for this is the lack of vocabulary. So the point is, the more words students learn, the easier they memorize them.  Teacher has an important role in helping the students to improve their vocabulary. But what can we do as teachers to help our students improve their vocabulary and make use of new words? What activities can we use? Well, nowadays there is more freedom in choosing what methods to use during English classes. There are a lot of strategies that will help...

Design stage shows the design structure of the program. And the Development stage includes production and media programming.

Back on blog...again!  😊 Wishing you are all well and safe, the topic for today is about Multimedia, Gardner’s Theory of Multiple    Intelligences and Cooperative Learning. As we all may know, intelligence is defined as our intellectual potential, something we are born with. Something we increase or improve over time. The theory of multiple intelligences transforms the way schools work. It helps or at least suggests that all teachers be able and prepared to present a lesson in different ways. For example, the teacher    may use objects, music, role play, multimedia, and many other ways that can make the lesson more interesting and entertaining.  The theory of Multiple Intelligences has grabbed the attention of many educators , and hundreds of schools are beginning to use this philosophy to improve and redesign the way it educates    students. But the problem is that some teacher keep using traditional ways of teaching, presenting the lectu...
