ReplyDeleteThank You Dr. (^_^)
ReplyDeleteCool! If I'm your student, I will definitely love this lesson. Not to mention, your worksheet is beautiful. It be very attractive if you can printed it in colour. Haha but of course, we have the budget to think about. :P
ReplyDeleteI love your lesson! With the Internet, this lesson will be in the class of its own since the students who are not movie goers can easily find the information from the Internet that will get them to actively involve in the lesson unlike.
ReplyDeleteAll Manchester United fans must be proud hehe... (not related at all to CALL class or this LP) ;)
um... I don't know how the 'unlike' appear in my comment so just ignore it or train your mind to think of something to complete the sentence.
ReplyDeleteThank you ;D
Interesting LP. Training your students to be scriptwriters ah?
ReplyDeleteYezza, so that they can help me write the school's 'chorus' speaking script...erk erk..Oops my bad..i mean CHORAL speaking script...mwahahahahha (+_+)
ReplyDeletep/s: thanks for the comments dear comrades...(^_*)
nice topic. it will DEFINITELY capture the students' interest, especially on task 3. it help the students to be creative in their language classroom! :)
ReplyDeleteOnce you tossed in the ideas of movies, I am instantly attracted!!! and I think the students will act the same. One question, are the movies only restricted to English movies or any movies will do? Because TGV shows Malay, Thai, Hindi and lots of other movies too. But your sheet is clearly one of the most attractive ones
ReplyDeleteI've seen so far...
superb and neat lesson plan plus the worksheets are so interesting..
ReplyDeleteWhat i'm trying to said just now. I lost my train of thought for a moment there. Maybe because of the background haha. Anyway i have to agree with Dr because a lesson that involving movies with always attract students attention. I very convinced because i did used this elements in my class during my practicum and the feedback that i got from my students were very overwhelming. The only different was i did not use the internet and computer. I'm sure this LP will be a hit among the students.
ReplyDeletesuper cool! i'd love to be ur students! :P
ReplyDeleteyes, neat and well planned. easy to understand and students sure will love this one. two thumbs up! ;)
Getting students to talk or discuss about movies would definitely catch their attention and the students would surely love to be in ur class =) well done!
ReplyDeleteYou might want to remove the limit of their favorite movies by searching at the TGV website. There are many other great movies that your students might enjoy in presenting that probably can't be found in your website of choice. but overall,gempak ar lesson plan anda. heheh...
