Cobblers Study Centre » English as an additional language (EAL) Top Up Day — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:58:54 +0000

[...] Once the tents were up, and photos of each stage put into a powerpoint, both groups were asked to write their own version of the instructions according to their photos. (Whilst sitting in their new homes!) Each student chose a photo each and wrote an explanatory sentence. Anna had asked the children to focus on some specific aspects of their writing: tenses, prepositions and time connectives. A group presentation was last, with some confident speakers. There was quite a lot of tent and camping vocabulary to incorporate too. To see their work, visit the EAL work page. [...]

[...] The children learnt some new vocabulary and practiced their speaking, listening and presentation skills. The task was to transfer the knowledge and information from the tour into sentences. This proved quite difficult in some cases, and some of our students overcame their fear of speaking on camera and improved their sentence structure. Others meanwhile, were only too happy to speak and turned their commentary into mini-dramas! On watching the video clips back, it was decided that everyone looked and sounded like professional TV presenters with a great deal of knowledge about Sixfields. Check out some of their videos.

[...] The afternoon was slightly quieter but still exciting, there theme was match reporting. The students began to compile a match report from a video taken of yesterday afternoon’s football coaching. They watched footage of their games and created sentences describing the action. Sports vocabulary was highlighted and the conventions of commentating thought about. Using a word document, everyone started writing their match report up with accompanying photos. To see their match reports, visit the student’s work page. [...]

[...] Wednesday was another busy day for the EAL students at the Steelbacks summer school. The day started with a visit to the Club Shop where the students undertook a maths challenge based upon items for sale in the shop. The students took inspiration from the shop visit and came back to the centre to design shop adverts for items that they would sell in a Cricket shop of their own. They looked at persuasive language to help advertise their products and used their artistic skills to produce eye catching posters. To see their work, click here. [...]

[...] After a brief interlude of blow football, we carried on with the English listening, speaking and written work, this time ’sport and the five senses’. The students watched some Ashes cricket footage of batters and bowlers. They had to put themselves them into their shoes and think about what they would see, feel, hear taste and touch. Using powerpoint, the group worked very hard on their sentence structure. To see samples of their work, visit the student’s work page. [...]
