Ms. Nida Budreikiene
Independent Reading Project
1. Every month, a student chooses a different topic he/she is interested
in and reads at least one article OR watches at least one TED.com video
on this topic.
2. Then, in the Google Disc folder that I created, they add information about the texts (a summary,
a personal opinion, some new words).
The students can take a look at each other's folders and see what their classmates are reading/listening.
3. At the end of each month, we have a lesson when students tell each other about they have learnt about their topic and take individualised tests on the new words and phrases they have learnt.
I think it might be more effective if students have to talk about what they have read/watched EVERY WEEK in class - this would allow for more speaking practice and ensure they read regularly
and don't just do a month's work during the last week. Then, at the end of the month, they would only take the vocabulary test.
This activity increases theamount of real-life English the students engage with AND their motivation grows because they can choose the TOPIC and the ACTIVITY (article or video). They also learnt time-management.

Evaluation
Students were given the self-evaluation sheet.
After each test they wrote the expected result of the test and their effort. After they get the resolt, they compared it and experessed how they feel about it.
It did not really motivate them to study more, but they liked doing it.

Mr. Aleksi Ahonen
Students trained English words playing board game Alias. The objective of the game is for
a player to have others guess the word on the player's card without using the word itself. Cards were in English and students first explained
the word in Finnish and the one who guessed right got one point. After that the fastest one said same word in English and got also one point. Later they started to explain the word in English. The winner was the one who got the most points.

Ms. Jaana Simola
Students studied some prepositions of English so, that when the teacher said something students have to move so that they were behind the chair and so on. For example ”next to window”, ”behind the chair” ”under the table”. Students liked it and it was easier to remember those prepositions afterwards.

English Conversation
To make them speak only English all students got 10 points at the beginning of the lesson. They lost a point for every time they used native language. We played some board (speaking) games.
They were highly motivated to kept the point to have a good grade. The result was great and they didn´t even realize it and felt they got good grade for nothing.
