NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:07 @teflgeek @HadaLitim yeah, like the subway poster implies: "be breezy" #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:07 If summer school is in an ESE then I think you need to use it as much as poss #eltchat
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:07 Make sure you have plenty of energy and enthusiasm before the summer school starts! #eltchat
LizziePinard 6/4/2014 11:07 @teflgeek @HadaLitim #eltchat yes so also get quickly into habit of working together with colleagues, sharing ideas and planning etc

teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:08 #eltchat I'd also say a greater emphasis on speaking and less on grammar as stds can feel they do this at home
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:08 @GemL1 How do you sustain that? #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:09 RT @GemL1: @HadaLitim this post has links to lots of great activities http://t.co/vy0yczheg2 #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:09 How do we make sure that the school of our choice is a descent one? Should we issue a list w/ reliable employers? #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:09 @GemL1 Thanks Gemma #eltchat
LizziePinard 6/4/2014 11:09 @GemL1 @HadaLitim #eltchat some of these could be useful http://t.co/lurEpQSeWY
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:09 @teflerinha yes, and integrating speaking / language with the inevitable day trips #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:09 RT @teflerinha: #eltchat I'd also say a greater emphasis on speaking and less on grammar as stds can feel they do this at home
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:09 Try and get to know your Ss outside of class to help build rapport, if its a residential school play sports etc with them #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:09 @LizziePinard @HadaLitim Joint planning sessions can work well #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:10 @teflerinha What are good speaking activities with YLs on Summer programmes? #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:10 #eltchat when we talk about summer camp we r talking #teens mostly yeah? & younger? Any1 do college age summer progs too? What's ave length?
LizziePinard 6/4/2014 11:10 @HadaLitim #eltchat re NA http://t.co/gGt1Sqvw6Q  this one can work quite well I've found
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:10 #eltchat Classes quite likely to be mixed ability as placement can be a bit hurried or classes limited

HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:11 @NewbieCELTA Yes but younger learners too in some cases #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:11 @teflgeek @LizziePinard @HadaLitim joint planning - more (any!) team teaching on camps when it's unheard of in semester, innit? #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:11 @HadaLitim #eltchat Something they can then use outside the classroom ideally. Lots of social language.
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:11 RT @LizziePinard: @HadaLitim #eltchat re NA http://t.co/gGt1Sqvw6Q  this one can work quite well I've found
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:11 @HadaLitim sustain energy & enthusiasm -take breaks whenever u can! Work w  Ts to plan classes & share ideas & be well prepared b4 #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:11 @LizziePinard Thanks Lizzie #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:11 @angelos_bollas @teflerinha @GemL1 those are exactly the things I'd like to see LOL #eltchat
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:12 The biggest problem my summer school had was teachers drinking too much on school days - have fun but not too much ^_^ #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:12 @NewbieCELTA It's a much more intensive environment, a stronger need to pull together #eltchat
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:12 @NewbieCELTA I'm doing a uni pre-sessional course this summer just 3 weeks but go up to 10. #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:13 @Ashowski teachers like that didn't get asked back - it's work, not a holiday #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:13 @teflgeek @NewbieCELTA Yes hence the greater need for peer support #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:13 RT @teflgeek: @NewbieCELTA It's a much more intensive environment, a stronger need to pull together #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:14 @teflgeek have u done team taught sessions? I have (most of them!) and of course outings both connect and disconnected 2 classes...#eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:14 #eltchat Activities which don't require much preparation are good. Good sources: lessons from the learner, learner based teaching
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:14 With Summer schools, how do we balance Book and Projects? #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:15 @NewbieCELTA U mean 2 teachers in the same classroom?  Or 2 teachers sharing a class (e.g. I do mon tues wed, u do thurs fri sat) #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:15 @NewbieCELTA @teflgeek The only time I did SS it was team teaching, it was a really useful exp. #eltchat
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:15 @teflerinha one of the greatest advantages of that is that they will speak English cos they are mixed nationalities too :) #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:15 @NewbieCELTA @teflgeek Yes, but never on summer programmes but love them #eltchat
snaplearning 6/4/2014 11:15 Avoid the summer slide! Get the reading program for kids from SNAP Learning http://t.co/He3MWzz95S #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:15 #eltchat Discipline is another issue (or was that just me?!) Kids away from home, over excited..
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:16 #eltchat projects are also great for YLs / teens @summ schools, last yr we did a diff project each week, & split the planning, worked v.well
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:16 @HadaLitim I would go for no book at all. #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:16 RT @teflerinha: #eltchat Discipline is another issue (or was that just me?!) Kids away from home, over excited.>and paying for the privilege
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:16 @Ashowski Yes, though not always. I've done a few monolingual ones with big companies like OISE and AngloEuropean #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:16 @teflerinha Discipline away from home must be tough. #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:16 #eltchat an important update :p switched from red to green line #ELTontheMBTA #ELTontheMTA oldest subway line in USA http://t.co/uw5h1k8qe9
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:17 @HadaLitim we did 1.5 hrs book work then 1.5 hrs project, was a good balance #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:17 @angelos_bollas though often they are based around books I think #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:17 @Shaunwilden #eltchat or parents sent them away to get rid of them ;)
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:17 @GemL1 as did we - my thoughts on summer school porjects here: http://t.co/3SC1SbTVcY #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:17 @teflgeek both but my exp more the former #eltchat :)
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:17 “@teflerinha: #eltchat Discipline is another issue (or was that just me?!) Kids away from home, over excited..” Yes definitely!
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:17 @angelos_bollas Absolutely! Same here #eltchat One good project can stretch over the whole course
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:17 @teflerinha But either way, they tend to be the richer more spoilt types #eltchat
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:17 RT @teflgeek: @GemL1 as did we - my thoughts on summer school porjects here: http://t.co/3SC1SbTVcY #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:17 RT @GemL1: @HadaLitim we did 1.5 hrs book work then 1.5 hrs project, was a good balance #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:18 @NewbieCELTA I've shared courses, but not lessons.  #eltchat not sure what the advantages are
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:18 RT @teflgeek: @GemL1 as did we - my thoughts on summer school porjects here: http://t.co/3SC1SbTVcY #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:18 @GemL1 #eltchat So activities need to be fun, but not likely to get them too over excited !
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:18 @Shaunwilden @teflgeek what's SS again? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:18 @Shaunwilden until there is a very good book, we should make it much more fun for them! It is summer, after all! :-) #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:18 @NewbieCELTA ss = students #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:19 How do parents respond to no books? How to address that concern? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:19 @NewbieCELTA @teflgeek summer schools, i didn’t have enough characters to write in full #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:19 @angelos_bollas @Shaunwilden #eltchat I'd suggest using a book as  basis b'cos not much time to plan- then add in other activities
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:19 @newbiecelta @shaunwilden @teflgeek students #eltchat
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:19 @teflerinha yep i made that mistake in the first week! Also need strict / clear rules from the start! #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:19 @angelos_bollas Yes but like regular school often not the teachers choice #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:19 @teflerinha @Shaunwilden That's my experience too #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:20 @teflgeek @NewbieCELTA #eltchat not done it, but i imagine it would improve the ability to monitor, and let you try a different dynamic.
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:20 @Shaunwilden @teflerinha how do we then strike the right balance keeping baby in bathwater while shaperoning (sp) campers? #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:20 @GemL1 @teflerinha resulting in...? #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:20 @01LPearson @NewbieCELTA true, but it's not very cost effective, why pay two when you can pay one? #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:21 @Ashowski @Shaunwilden @teflgeek oops #eltchat #hellllo
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:21 @GemL1 @teflerinha I agree with clear rules - do you negotiate them? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:21 @Shaunwilden true! Yet, as @Marisa_C says: we can always "animate coursebooks"#eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:21 @01LPearson @NewbieCELTA unless you're THAT worried about the standard of the teachers...? #eltchat
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:21 We used projects and Task-Based Learning on summer school #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:21 @angelos_bollas @Marisa_C Stop crawling Angelos :-) #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:21 @teflerinha @Shaunwilden this is a valid point #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:21 @NewbieCELTA @Shaunwilden  I think it's about stirring then settling activities, not stirring, stirring, STIRRING! #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:22 @Ashowski I’d say that was the best way to approach them  #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:22 RT @teflerinha: @NewbieCELTA @Shaunwilden  I think it's about stirring then settling activities, not stirring, stirring, STIRRING! #eltchat

Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:22 @hadalitim @geml1 @teflerinha I usually negotiate rules with my learners in the first lesson alongside getting to know you #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:22 @teflgeek @NewbieCELTA #eltchat Or you could join classes, so double students, double teachers ... Just to mix things up, raise interest ...
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:22 @angelos_bollas @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C Animate them by exploiting and adapting the material #eltchat
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:22 @NewbieCELTA @teflerinha resulting in mild chaos & having to regain control & find balance between fun and controlled activities! #eltchat
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:23 @shaunwilden It's very easily to develop projects too. Any one have any good project ideas? #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:23 @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C hahaha! It is inevitable! I' ve just finished training w/ her ;-) #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:23 @Ashowski @geml1 @teflerinha How do you enforce the rules without becoming regimental?! #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:23 @Ashowski @HadaLitim @GemL1 @teflerinha #eltchat make it their rules, then if they break them, they set them!
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:23 @GemL1 @NewbieCELTA #eltchat Only mild chaos- you did well.. My first summer schools were often much worse than that.
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:23 “@Ashowski: I usually negotiate rules with my learners in the first lesson alongside getting to know you #eltchat” yep this normally works
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:23 @Ashowski Can you share some examples Anthony? #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:24 #eltchat mobile chatter update: now at subway-bus depot downtown, I walk to @IHBoston from here ;) #ELTontheMBTA http://t.co/AHDClkByi5
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:24 @01LPearson @NewbieCELTA my old summer school had regular classes and project classes, team teaching for projects only  #eltchat
GemL1 6/4/2014 11:25 @Ashowski the classics - superhero, design your own country, restaurant, business/ product for older ones, make a documentary #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:25 @teflerinha @angelos_bollas @Shaunwilden Yes the book can help in many ways and reassure parents they're getting thr money's worth #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:25 @teflgeek  think we did a ‘regular’ lesson followed by a project lesson, which was good as it meant we could feed in language #eltchat

NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:29 #eltchat mobile chatter update: now @ holocaust memorial. Walk thru steam & look @ #s many days as brief mediation http://t.co/XoFs9SZIC9
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:29 @teflgeek @teflerinha Yes but can mean less overall lesson planning as the project can evolve #eltchat
angelos_bollas 6/4/2014 11:29 @HadaLitim @teflerinha @Shaunwilden we must teach parents, too! #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:30 @GemL1 That's great thanks Gemma - have a good one and see you soon #eltchat

Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:31 @Ashowski @hadalitim And don’t forget all the projects you can do using mobile devices #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:31 @Shaunwilden @teflgeek @teflerinha In my experience projects often evolve and often turn out differently from initial expectations #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:31 @Ashowski poster presentations, performances, #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:31 #eltchat That's normally harder than teaching the kids!

ELTwriter 6/4/2014 11:31 @LizziePinard @HadaLitim really like that activity #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:32 @Ashowski I love those! Exhibitions are always a great one too #eltchat

HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:33 @angelos_bollas @teflerinha @Shaunwilden What do you mean? #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:34 @Shaunwilden @angelos_bollas @teflerinha Projects using mobiles - any examples pls? #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:34 What are the language learning goals for summer school?  Can't all be just to have fun and entertain... #eltchat

teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:34 @teflgeek #eltchat Develop fluency has to be a big one I think.
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:35 @teflgeek Are the goals the same as those in usal YL classes? Yes but focus the 'fun delivery' aspect #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:35 @teflgeek Why not, surely if they're having fun and using English then the goals are being achieved! #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:35 @teflerinha I suppose it depends on number of input hours as well  #eltchat
NewbieCELTA 6/4/2014 11:36 Final #eltchat mobile chatter update: I've arrived. It's very nice spot for lang. school/CELTA center - Faneuil Hall. http://t.co/wTMMRz7quz
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:36 QR treasure hunts, using things like apps like woices, scvngr app, bill atkinson’s photo card etc etc  #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:36 @01LPearson is that enough of a goal though?  Do parents have bigger expectations? #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:36 RT @teflerinha: @teflgeek #eltchat Develop fluency has to be a big one I think.
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:37 @teflerinha @teflgeek Totally agree #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:37 Another point to consider is what  to look for in a summer school when looking for a job #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:37 RT @Shaunwilden: QR treasure hunts, using things like apps like woices, scvngr app, bill atkinson’s photo card etc etc  #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:37 @HadaLitim @teflgeek #eltchat I think parents want to see a noticeable improvement, but confidence and fluency will do this.
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:38 @Shaunwilden Class size, facilities, hours, resources #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:38 @Shaunwilden #eltchat How much pay works out per hour when you've done all the extras..
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:38 @Shaunwilden look for a school where teachers are teachers, and activities are seperate #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:39 @teflerinha The extras is a good one, what else are you obliged to do other than teacher #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:39 @teflerinha @teflgeek I agree but not always, in some parts of the world, no book still means no study = waste of money - sadly!  #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:39 @Shaunwilden @teflerinha The hidden duties can really ruin a job #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:39 @Shaunwilden #eltchat Especially if you're living in! #UpAllNight

teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:40 @01LPearson not saying fun isn't worthwhile or important, but asking what is most important to wrap the fun around #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:41 @teflgeek Well then i agree with@teflerinha - fluency and confidence are the main goals! #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:41 We covered a lot of Do's but not that many Don'ts What are absolute no-no's in Summer schools? #eltchat
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:41 I think if you're going to work at a summer school you need to accept in advance you will be on duty pretty much 24 hours a day #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:42 @01LPearson @Shaunwilden thou if you teach in morning, play football all afternoon and do film night in evening, when do you plan? #eltchat
Shaunwilden 6/4/2014 11:42 @Ashowski Well you can escape if it’s not live in but yes you’re right #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:42 @Ashowski Patience and energy are a must then! #eltchat
teflerinha 6/4/2014 11:43 @01LPearson @teflgeek Though doesn't mean you don't have specific linguistic goals, just that they aren't foregrounded. #eltchat
01LPearson 6/4/2014 11:43 @teflgeek @Shaunwilden TBH i'm not entirely sure ... I'm looking forward to working that out this summer! #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:43 @teflgeek @01LPearson @Shaunwilden Shouldn't most of your planning be done ahead? #eltchat
teflgeek 6/4/2014 11:44 @HadaLitim @01LPearson @Shaunwilden before you've met the students? #eltchat
Ashowski 6/4/2014 11:44 @shaunwilden at IH Oxford we were free to go off campus when we weren't teaching or doing other duties which was nice #eltchat
HadaLitim 6/4/2014 11:45 @teflgeek @01LPearson @Shaunwilden Presumably you have info about them so a basic frame with some key projects #eltchat
