Class presentation topics

Dear students,

Here are some suggested class presentation topics. Remember that you will have to do the presentations on November 7. You may do them individually or in groups of 2-3. A four-minute slot will be allocated to each speaker, so a two-people group should present for about 8 minutes and three-peple one for 12. Please, contact me after you've chosen a topic stating both the topic and, if applicable, the people in your group. Topics will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Teaching a lesson with an interactive whiteboard. 
• Designing language exercises with Hot Potatoes.

• How to create language teaching materials with: 
• Word processors / PDF editors. 
• Presentation software. 

• How to use Excel in student assessment. 
• Webquest design.

• Wiki project for language teaching.

• Blog project for language teaching. 
• Audio editing/podcast project for language teaching.
• Video editing project for language teaching.
• Video subtitling project.

For the presentation, you can show materials that you've created, explain to the class how you've created them and/or talk about an activity or you've designed to be implemented in a language classroom.

You will be assessed using the following criteria: clarity of exposition (presentation structure), content (quality of the information presented), linguistic accuracy, delivery (eye contact, body language and overall confidence) and use of ICT (presentation tools, interactive whiteboard, online and offline tools, multimedia content, etc.). Bonus marks will be awarded for creativity, so try to think outside the box!

If you have any questions or any topics suggestions, feel free to email me. I'll see you in class in a bit!
