Title: Ideas for Teaching Present Progressive
Body: A recent discussion on the TESL listserv regarding ways to teach the present progressive form generated the following suggestions. Although these were contributed by teachers of English, they may be useful for teachers of a variety of languages and levels. ---- One of the most enjoyable things in teaching the present progressive is having the students mime what they are doing - apart from normal activities in the classroom you can also get a lot of sports vocabulary into a lesson as students are quite keen to show how they are swimming, skating, playing tennis, ski-jumping etc. I teach children and they are great at noticing - and copying - the mannerisms of sports personalities. Another good thing are flashcards.At www.handoutsonline.com you can find sets of flashcards that can be used for present progressive, past progressive, present perfect etc. Rasmussen, E. How to teach present progressive. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (27 Nov. 2005). ---- I believe that teaching present progressive can be done with a small school tour in one's own school and viewing what people are doing. Of course, it is hoped that the observers will not bother one's privacy too much, although I once asked my students to enter a computer laboratory and to take notes of what their friends in another class were doing. It's quite amusing. Furthermore, to exercise the plural forms, the teacher can raise questions like "Look! What are those students doing in the garden?" Santoso, T.

Title: Using Music in the Language Classroom
Body: This idea for using students' favorite songs in language class was recently submitted to the TESLK-12 listserv. Although it was intended for teachers of English middle-schoolers, students of a variety of languages, levels, and ages should enjoy this activity. ---- If your students are like mine, they enjoy listening to the top 100 hits: songs they would hear on the radio and videos seen on MTV or CMT. I have a group of 7th & 8th grade students that like country music. Occasionally I allow them to bring their CDs to class and we listen to them. When they have finished their academic assignment, I allow them to go to http://www.CMT.com . There they find their favorite artist, can sometimes see a video, listen to a song, and often locate the lyrics to the song. We print the words off and then they practice reading the words. Once they know the words well enough, they can sing along with the music. They enjoy doing this. You can do this with all types of music and songs. http://www.Billboard.com will give you the top 100 hits in several different areas of music. From there you can do a search for the artist and the song title. http://MTV.com is another popular site that students will be familar with. There are many ways to find the music and lyrics to songs. You could have your very own talent show once everyone learns their song. Garrett, F.L. Songs for middle and high school ELL students. Teachers of English as a Second Language (Grades K-12).
