Top 5 games to use in the English Language class

As I talked in my last article about how I use stories and songs in my classroom, I will continue on the same path and let you know about the amazing outcome of remedial work as well as the use of some good “old school” learning games.

It’s always a moment of joy for my pupils, but it also boost their literacy’s skills!

Dictation can sometimes be maddening for pupils, but it is a must!

This is why I always include remedial activity in it; it’s more fun and much more engaging!

Remedial work in dictation

After finishing a dictation, which is most of the times inspired by either their textbooks or their short stories like: “The Beauty and the beast” “Ali Baba and the 40 thieves” “Oliver Twist”… ,I make them exchange their copybooks and each one underlines her / his classmates’ mistakes.

If they make more than four mistakes, they ought to copy these words twice or thrice. The teacher, of course, has to review the mistakes; pupils are still learning, and this is the point of this activity!

I always create work groups in order to give a priviligied time to each of my dear pupils.

How does it work?

This is an example of a dictation of one of my pupils; She made 2 mistake (This is an extract from the voyages of Sindibad the sailor).

“When the tree giants sow us in the boat, they threw great stones at us. Each stone was as big as a house. Some stones fell into the sea, but some hit our boats. The men in those boats died.”

My pupils adore the story of Sindibad and the sailor!

When I asked my young pupil if she can see why those two words are not written properly, she didn’t understand why, which is quite normal!
