THIS MONTH’S TOPIC:
Taking Note of LoiLoNote: Digitalizing Input and Output Activities for the Classroom
Speaker: Andy Lankshear
This presentation introduces the basic functions of LoiLoNote and how to leverage those for your English lessons. This digital platform is now used by more than 30 percent of public schools in Japan and is steadily increasing its share. I’ll first train you in how to use its basic functions and then show you three ways I have used it in my own classroom for:
1) collating and sequencing goals, resources, and activities for a unit of learning.
2) manipulating language items within digital cards to make information gap, and letter and word arranging activities.
3) making audio recordings for the teaching and assessment of pronunciation.
