Why not use this video as a springboard for a class discussion on natural disasters, for example? You might like to read this post on activities using songs.http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/a_clil_to_climb1/archive/2011/09/29/truth-or-lie-activity-for-any-classroom.aspxThu, 29 Sep 2011 14:23:00 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:528525AnonymousI recently responded to a blog challenge by a video recording of myself - you can see it by clicking here. Most EFL teachers are probably aware of the activity where students are asked to say some things about themselves, and the others are to guess if they're true or false. I suggested taking this a step further and have the students bring video recordings of themselves saying those things.

They are good enough reasons for me to link it here in this blog.But how can we use it in our lessons, you might ask. Well, think about it and tell me!I can think of numerous ideas - I'll justhttp://teacherlingo.com/blogs/a_clil_to_climb1/archive/2011/04/21/tweeting-is-for-the-birds-hockly-vs-waters-iatefl-2011-brighton.aspxThu, 21 Apr 2011 13:17:00 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:472935AnonymousThis, along with the PechaKucha night, must have been the highlights of the IATEFL 2011 Brighton conference. The motion for the ELT Debate was 'Tweeting is for the birds, not for language learning', with Alan Waters speaking for the motion, and Nicky Hockly, against. Here is an opportunity for those who haven't had the chance of watching a live debate in action to do so.

Don't worry - it isn't a silent video, lol. Jackson Browne is one of my favourite singer-songwriters, and he has written many powerful songs in his long career, this one here being no exception. What I would like you to do first is to watch and listen to the song, and try to understand as much as possible. Then, watch it ahttp://teacherlingo.com/blogs/a_clil_to_climb1/archive/2011/04/13/a-day-in-the-life-one-song-countless-activities-simple-past-cloze-phrasal-verbs-vocabulary-etc.aspxWed, 13 Apr 2011 21:43:00 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:468143AnonymousIn We Are The Champions, I wrote about several ideas you could do with songs in the classroom, so if you'd missed it, you ought to take a look now. Warm-up Play the video, freeze it when Paul McCartney can be seen. Ask if anyone knows him, what they know: the group he belonged to, the instrument he plays, the period the song was written, etc. Gap-fill Play the video once, asking them to listenhttp://teacherlingo.com/blogs/a_clil_to_climb1/archive/2011/04/07/teaching-speaking-videos-techniques-feedback-monitoring.aspxThu, 07 Apr 2011 15:03:00 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:462264AnonymousTeacher trainer John Kay expounds on his tips on teaching speaking on this set of videos for the British Council. They aren't new, but even if you think you know it all, have a listen - it may refresh some of the stagnant cells! It did mine! ;-) I first read about these videos in Barb Sakamoto's Starter-PLN Daily.http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/a_clil_to_climb1/archive/2011/04/02/we-are-the-champions-one-song-countless-activities-present-perfect-cloze-idioms-vocabulary-etc.aspxSat, 02 Apr 2011 22:26:00 GMT2d57f927-24f1-4f58-a78a-cbbebe5f5d42:458691AnonymousA lot of teachers who use songs for ELT restrict themselves to a gap-fill activity plus a singalong, but there are, however, many other activities you could do besides those, some of which I've set out below, and I also created a quiz incorporating some of them.

The strongest objection of the anti-nuclear power lobby are the safety concerns, but what other methods of producing cheap clean energy have we got? Is nuclear power a dirty word?
