My  great aim in reading  English

Teaching Forum's new issue has come with the new sport BASEBALL. BASABALL     and    APPLE PIE are similar for the Americans.

 

Invented in 1839, in Cooperstown, NewYork.

 

Baseball was available in 1791 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. There are  200,000 teams in  all 50 states and more than 80 nations. Nearly half million students play on 15,000 high school teams.

Always not possible to provide and check the written homework. This is why  ORAL HOMEWORK is more applicable  for sometimes. I think sometimes on the monthly exam time to apply oral test, because of there are more 45 students in class eight and I have to involve  more five classes everyday.

 

 

My attraction is moving towards " How to set up oral  Homework: A case of limited  Technology"  this time. I needed to remember the following points view.

My greatest Magazine is English

Teaching Forum in my life. I read

some Magazines and NewsPapers
too, but  The English Teaching

Forum's accuracy is measureable

on my study. It is also valuable

for me, due to becoming an

English language student for teacher.
Such a way the respected Magazine

has been coming through the

Post Box in Kathmandu only

two copies of this year 2010.
I have enjoyed with Lacrosse 

word puzzle and  BE A GOOD

SPORT , the lesson is fruitful for me.
I have heard the first time about
the sport LACROSSE, that is
formed in Mexico before twelfth

century. in this era as many

as women  are involving on
an enjoyable sport LACROSSE.
Using films for intercultural training

by  Christine Poel (Germany) is

new way for the teacher on the

Cooperation and Collaboration"
Gives an important idea , such key

terms are necessary to remember
 

 
-------> Strengths of collaboration
------->Collaboration --- a chimera or realistic goal?
-------> A limited yet important role for teachers
-------> Laying the groundwork for successful collaboration
 
*∞> Being consistent
*∞> Cultivate a positive environment
------->-------> Sample Collaborative activities
*∞> Vocabulary brainstorm
*∞>Preparing s structured survey
*∞> Drawing together
*∞> All the ingredients matter?
*∞> The secret of the internet
 
------->-------> Frequently Asked

Questioned about Collaborative tasks
1.       How can I be sure that all the
           students will participate?
2.       Should teachers assign roles- or not?
3.       How should teachers handle

          emotional reactions?
Conclusion : Give it a chance.
 
This time the readers are able to
get new sport's in introduction.
That's about LACROSSE.

LACROSSE originated in

Mexico early than  12th century.

It was famous  in at least  48 north

east American tribes in 1600s, now
