ELTchat 2018-01-24T19:02:21 Welcome to all #ELTchat folk - the topics polled gave us a draw but on facebook, by a small margin, motivating stud… https://t.co/OKsOlTuEwh
naomishema 2018-01-24T19:02:48 @ELTchat Good evening! #ELTchat
este_moscow 2018-01-24T19:05:44 @ELTchat First time joining #ELTchat. Looking forward to hearing some ideas on tonight’s topic
GlenysHanson 2018-01-24T19:06:51 Hi there!As so with so many subjects, motivating students to write depends on the context, doesn't it? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:07:16 @este_moscow @ELTchat And welcome to a new #ELTchat follower - will be a solo moderator for this  p.m. or a.m. wherever you happen to be!

naomishema 2018-01-24T19:09:13 Well, we always say writing for a an audience helps - do you have experience with that? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:09:59 @naomishema #ELTCHAT - Hey @naomishema I can't figure out why I can't see your tweets on tweetdec - drives me bonkers! #eltchat

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:15:31 The #eltchat timeline is pretty quiet tonight - is it the low temperatures or because our @SueAnnan is not here? #eltchat :-)
este_moscow 2018-01-24T19:15:44 @GlenysHanson @ELTchat @Marisa_C Hi, I’m an ESL teacher, working and living in Moscow. I mostly teach young learner… https://t.co/9XzUF4uQLx
naomishema 2018-01-24T19:16:58 For young learners, using wordless picture books is great for writing. The narrative is clear & kids write the dialogue or text #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2018-01-24T19:17:24 @Marisa_C I mean age, level. Writing as part of test preparation, for pleasure, for professional reasons ... #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:18:46 #ELTchat With young learners, a playful attitude and some motivating and collaborative projects would work - @naomishema  ?
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:19:14 @GlenysHanson Right, so purpose ... thanks #eltchat
naomishema 2018-01-24T19:19:59 In addition to wordless books, writing instructions for something attracts young learners, like a magic trick #ELTchat
este_moscow 2018-01-24T19:20:27 @naomishema I had the same situation. Also, it was really hard for them to break out of the very rigid structure th… https://t.co/Ql7zy5LMKe
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:21:39 Friend on facebook writes that she occasionally bans oral communcation and all messages have to be done in writing - tried this? #eltchat

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:28:15 @amateurdancer would you mind explaining the technique and adding #eltchat to your tweets pls?
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:28:45 #ELTchat new friends - pls add this to your tweets https://t.co/JiBIZ0n6a5

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:29:48 @este_moscow It IS a young activity - don't blame them #eltchat
GlenysHanson 2018-01-24T19:30:39 Students complained about not having a coursebook so I often got them to write a collective summary of the lesson on the board? #ELTchat
lidal 2018-01-24T19:31:25 #eltchat hi everyone, I'm reading you
lidal 2018-01-24T19:32:56 #eltchat what's the pomodoro activity?

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:34:01 @lidal Hey Lida my lovely welcome  #eltchat don't know what the pomodoro is can anyone google it because the originator has disappeared
lidal 2018-01-24T19:35:18 #eltchat I try to show a video that will make them interested in a topic before we discuss the idea and brainstorm
GlenysHanson 2018-01-24T19:35:30 @Marisa_C What's the Pomodoro technique? Sounds intriguing. #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:35:52 #eltchat good idea yes https://t.co/OLvulDQ3tX
lidal 2018-01-24T19:36:20 The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.  #eltchat

este_moscow 2018-01-24T19:43:04 @Marisa_C #ELTchat thanks! What’s your view on allowing L1 during the brainstorm phase?
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:43:11 I kind of am really beginning to like the longer tweets #ELTchat
Papamihailidou 2018-01-24T19:43:53 @Marisa_C I’ve done sth similar with lower levels and laminated speech bubbles. Worked well for spelling! #ELTchat

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:48:43 I love Edward de Bono's Six Hats thinking activity - each st responsible for a different area in the brainstorming or writing phase #ELTchat
lidal 2018-01-24T19:49:34 @Marisa_C #ELTchat yes, role changing per paragraph perhaps, good idea

Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:56:33 @GlenysHanson I suppose it's not specific to language learning but a time management technique #ELTchat
este_moscow 2018-01-24T19:57:04 @Marisa_C #ELTchat Always a hit! Even with adults
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:57:25 Small crowd today but some good ideas floated about - anyone willing to write a summary for us? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2018-01-24T19:57:40 @este_moscow true! #ELTchat
