| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:00:28 | Hi Guys it’s #eltchat time |
| Kosjenka | 2014-09-17T11:02:04 | RT @MarjorieRosenbe: #ELTchat starting soon. Join us! |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:02:59 | @Philip_Saxon hi! What's today's subject? #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:03:46 | Hi everyone!!! Happy birthday to all #ELTchat mods and folks for our 4th birthday? |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:03:51 | I think the topic is about homework, is that right Shaun? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:04:16 | @MarjorieRosenbe Yep - What makes the best kind of homework for language learners? #eltchat |

| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:05:10 | @MarjorieRosenbe ahh, to give or not to give hw...#eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:05:18 | @StudyBundles @MarjorieRosenbe @Shaunwilden @Philip_Saxon Welcome all #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:05:28 | I think homework needs to be relevant. There needs to be a reason to do it. #eltchat |
| TESOLacademic | 2014-09-17T11:05:57 | RT @iatefl_ltsig: We’re looking for people to give us some audio comments for a LTSIG / GI SIG podcast email shaun@ltsig.org.uk #IATEFL #EL… |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:06:04 | I also think personalised HW is ideal - write about something you know about or yourself. #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:06:15 | Homework or Busywork? That's what some Ss call it. Opinions? #ELTchat what kind of HW do u think Ss call busywork? |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:06:19 | @fabenglishteach I'd welcome confirmation but I believe it's homework. #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:06:38 | Just thinking we might need to define HW. Also includes internet searches, watching a video, etc. #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:06:58 | RT @MarjorieRosenbe: Just thinking we might need to define HW. Also includes internet searches, watching a video, etc. #eltchat > good idea |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:06:59 | I like to give research for hw, try to invoke some curiosity #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:07:21 | @Marisa_C @StudyBundles @MarjorieRosenbe @Shaunwilden Likewise, hello all! Can Marisa confirm the topic for today? #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:07:29 | @fabenglishteach Agree - good idea. #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:07:33 | Perhaps HW not so hard to define; the PURPOSES of HW might need some clarifying tho #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:07:42 | I never hear Ss call it busy work. #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:08:00 | @Philip_Saxon @Marisa_C @StudyBundles @MarjorieRosenbe Why. don’t you trust me? :-) #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:08:06 | I teach in secondary school, it's obligatorybto set regular HW #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:08:08 | @MarjorieRosenbe You probably don't give tha kind of HW then anyway #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:08:27 | @Marisa_C My uni Ss have self-study grammar exercises to practice and writing so I can correct it for improvement. #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:09:01 | So, some HW is for consolidation purposes - right? #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:09:11 | @fabenglishteach also for us at university. #eltchat I still try to make it relevant. |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:09:28 | @Marisa_C Hope not. #eltchat |
| BobK99 | 2014-09-17T11:10:21 | @Marisa_C Catching up with #ELTchat. Glad to be back;-) |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:10:44 | @BobK99 good to have you back with us welcome #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:10:47 | @fabenglishteach More purposes - reflection, solidification of material - doing it at your own pace #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:11:03 | Shouldn’t learners say what is the best kind of homework for them? :-) #eltchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:11:33 | So homework should be relevant, personalised and based on something that piques learners' interest... #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:11:39 | Forgot to greet everyone - was just excited to be here today. #eltchat Plugged the chat in plenary in Frankfurt. |
| Priscilamateini | 2014-09-17T11:11:55 | Hello everyone. For some students, it called "boringwork" but I try to convinced them that will help them #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:12:03 | RT @MarjorieRosenbe: Forgot to greet everyone - was just excited to be here today. #eltchat Plugged the chat in plenary in Frankfurt. Thx!! |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:12:19 | @Shaunwilden I suspect 20 Ss would elicit 20 different answers. #eltchat |

| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:13:18 | Consoilidation - solidification?? #eltchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:13:28 | @Marisa_C yes definitely...and some can be instructional/presentational #flippedlearning #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:13:33 | I also try to follow up on classwork in written assignments. #eltchat Will give example in next tweet. |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:13:35 | @MarjorieRosenbe So does that mean 20 different homework(s) are a bad idea? #eltchat #ambackandbeingmischievous |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:13:55 | @Marisa_C Certainly the traditional view! Can also use it to apply knowledge, though, surely? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:14:19 | RT @fabenglishteach: Consoilidation - solidification?? #eltchat > :-D an ELT neologism here |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:14:26 | We do the game 'When was the 1st time you ...' and then they write about an important 1st in their lives. Some bring me to tears.#eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:14:41 | Hard to let a class of young teens choose their own hw, but giving a choice is important #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:15:10 | RT @fabenglishteach: Hard to let a class of young teens choose their own hw, but giving a choice is important #eltchat |
| dimodeca | 2014-09-17T11:15:21 | #ELTchat Hi! interesting discussion going on.., |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:15:35 | Looks like giving choice, self access HW work for many - is this also tru of YL's? Are they able to make choices? #eltchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:15:44 | @MarjorieRosenbe Sounds like a nice, easily differentiated free writing task #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:15:44 | Looking at McCarthy's 4MAT system - HW tells me what they still need to learn. #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:15:49 | @Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe depends on how you'll evaluate them, or whether you want to see your own friends/life this week! #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:16:01 | @fabenglishteach I agree choice is important and allowing people to do different things if it suits #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:16:17 | @MarjorieRosenbe Agreed! Also think it's important to emphasize S's own views matter more than "correct" answers to questions. #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:16:30 | @Shaunwilden Depends on what we mean by 'different' and how I have to grade them. #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:16:52 | @MarjorieRosenbe Does this imply homework has to be graded? #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:17:13 | @Shaunwilden Could give option of means of delivery - written, recorded, videoed - that would work. #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:17:14 | For writing practice I often do 100 word challenge, then they blog it & get peer evaluation with @TheHeadsOffice #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:17:38 | RT @MarjorieRosenbe: @Shaunwilden Could give option of means of delivery - written, recorded, videoed - that would work. #eltchat Nice idea |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:17:45 | Following Russell Stannard's example am now starting to set speaking homework assignments (using smartphones). #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:17:50 | @fabenglishteach @TheHeadsOffice Love it. #eltchat |
| Priscilamateini | 2014-09-17T11:17:53 | For my teens and juniors group if they don't do it I have to call their parents and they are forced to do, I select with them #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:18:36 | @Philip_Saxon and audioboo good for speaking hW #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:18:38 | The personalised writing is also more interesting to read. #eltchat |

| dimodeca | 2014-09-17T11:19:34 | @fabenglishteach @TheHeadsOffice great idea. I'd love to do sth like that this year #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:19:37 | @MarjorieRosenbe and helps you get to know them better, esp at start of school year #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:19:51 | @Shaunwilden @fabenglishteach Love them all! #ELTchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:20:29 | Read some reports recently about how HW didn't improve school results at all, anyone eles seen it? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:20:54 | @fabenglishteach Do you have a link? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:21:19 | @StudyBundles @fabenglishteach @Philip_Saxon I left it out cost of the cost factor but yes it is a good tool #eltchat |
| BobK99 | 2014-09-17T11:22:53 | RT @Shaunwilden @fabenglishteach Do you have a link? #eltchat > Not I, but I remember it from the headlines maybe 2 wks back. Google? |
| Priscilamateini | 2014-09-17T11:23:19 | What are important to them, what challenge as well. less important in their homework, I try to use in an open lesson, as a review #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:23:26 | RT @Priscilamateini: What are important to them, what challenge as well. less important in their homework, I try to use in an open lesson, … |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:23:51 | Maybe am thinking of young adults here, but asking students to reflect in writing on what they've been taught can work very well. #ELTchat |
| dimodeca | 2014-09-17T11:23:52 | @MarjorieRosenbe indeed. more motivating. when st do HW just bc they're supposed to, in a rush, it doesn't serve the purpose #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:24:41 | Then again, am thinking of content-based instruction here. #ELTchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:25:13 | I also have to bear in mind HW set in other school subjects means English HW might be rushed/copied, however interesting it is #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:25:16 | @Philip_Saxon or just reflect, does it have to be in writing? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:25:41 | RT @fabenglishteach: I also have to bear in mind HW set in other subjects means English HW might be rushed/copied, #eltchat good point! |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:25:42 | @Philip_Saxon a learning journal would be great! #eltchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:25:49 | @Philip_Saxon Agreed, it's good practice to encourage them to reflect on their learning, helps foster effective learner autonomy #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:26:31 | @Shaunwilden @Philip_Saxon writing helps set your ideas, and we tend to remember better what we've written - by hand #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:26:37 | @Shaunwilden Maybe not. Could audio be an alternative? Don't mind as long as learning is evident. #ELTchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:27:19 | @Philip_Saxon Just wondering if audio journals etc might make it easier for those that don’t like writing #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:27:26 | @Shaunwilden @Philip_Saxon Depends on reason HW. I put links to Vicki Holletts vidoes on moodle which they watch & we discuss. #eltchat |
| BobK99 | 2014-09-17T11:27:51 | @Shaunwilden @Philip_Saxon #eltchat Well, s'thing tangible at least (MP3?). Otherwise they cd just say 'Yeah I done that sir'! |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:27:58 | Sharing learning journals with classmates? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:28:06 | @MarjorieRosenbe @Philip_Saxon So the homework is ‘simply’ watch for next lesson? #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:28:07 | also gave CAE Ss link to Sugata Mitra's TED talk and we debated it in class. Great success. #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:28:08 | @Shaunwilden Great chance to offer students a choice! They can post whichever they prefer on class blog/Edmodo/whatever. #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:28:09 | Am back - sorry #ELTchat office probs |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:28:36 | RT @Marisa_C: Am back - sorry #ELTchat office probs > I read that and thought what we have an office now? |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:28:51 | @MarjorieRosenbe so some HW can be given to research and prepare for class - here is another purpose #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:29:04 | My Ss also have self-reflection sheets on their learning styles & what they liked in class & why for research project. #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:29:10 | Think writing helps fix learning, but not too much, I have lots of dyslexic students so two lines /15 words max #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:29:28 | RT @MarjorieRosenbe: My Ss also have self-reflection sheets on their learning styles & what they liked in class & why for research project.… |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:29:51 | @Marisa_C We needed to make up hours and this was perfect. Level was right & great CAE prep. #eltchat And Ss found it relevant. |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:30:16 | I give SEN/ dyslexic learners topic of next lesson so they have time to collect thoughts & vocab #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:30:27 | @Marisa_C Can I visit the office in March? #eltchat :-) |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:31:07 | @fabenglishteach Great idea - agree it helps to give them time to think & prepare. #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:31:35 | @Shaunwilden @Philip_Saxon or get them to tweet, short & sweet! #eltchat |
| edchatirl | 2014-09-17T11:31:45 | @Marisa_C First time sitting in on #eltchat. I'm from Ireland. CELTA trained, studying MA in Learning & Teaching. Interesting topic. |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:31:46 | @Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe Many ways to flip classroom. I'd scaffold future discussion with questions as prompts. #ELTchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:32:37 | Research questions (WebQuests) can work very well! Especially if class divided into groups, each with own question. #ELTchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:32:37 | #ELTchat has anyone tried a flipped approach? How have you approached it? Have you had success? |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:32:39 | Sharing a presentation on HW I did some time ago- ppt on slideshare http://t.co/lqnvNKcHu3 #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:32:56 | @Shaunwilden @Philip_Saxon Uni Ss need to learn to write so this is practice for future as well. #eltchat |

| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:35:58 | @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon @BobK99 @Shaunwilden would say more evidence of progress. #eltchat |

| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:36:34 | @Shaunwilden I think it can be extremely effective in the right context, and done in the right way -doesn't suit all t & l contexts #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:37:18 | Helping Ss progress also means us spending time on corrections. the downside for the T but important. #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:37:38 | @dimodeca @StudyBundles @dimodeca @StudyBundles Well i think the idea of flipping = homework is not necessarily correct #eltchat |
| edchatirl | 2014-09-17T11:37:42 | @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon @BobK99 @Shaunwilden reflection is a nice way to link into the next lesson too! #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:37:58 | @dimodeca @Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe Good luck! Key though is to ensure tight integration between online and classroom work. #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:38:03 | @Philip_Saxon I meant that Ss can complete sth mechanical but that is not proof of learning or ability to use the TL #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:38:53 | @edchatirl @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C @BobK99 @Shaunwilden Lessons might end in a plenary…leading into such a writing task. #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:38:58 | @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon Agree- but putting what they learned into practice is totally different. #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:39:41 | @Marisa_C Totally agree! Much prefer AUTHENTIC homework. #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:39:52 | I only look at the non-mechanical, creative output. The rest they correct themselves. #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:40:05 | When to set it? Not always good time for all Ss @TeacherToolkit talked about takeaway HW, Ss choose from diff tasks to do in week #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:40:26 | for exam prep I give them the categories that are graded & points for each so they know what they need to do. #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:40:28 | @Philip_Saxon Or inauthentic but motivating/ creative and FUN to do #eltchat that works for me too :-) |

| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:42:20 | @Priscilamateini True - we have a hard time getting our adult grps to do HW - what do u do when they don't do it? #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:42:25 | @Marisa_C Argh! The C-suite. Higher education a lot more playful. #ELTchat |

| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:42:49 | Something new: my adult group does HW - certain tasks set on writing emails which are relevant to work. #eltchat. |
| danapokle | 2014-09-17T11:42:50 | @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon @MarjorieRosenbe hello #eltchat. Started giving oral HW to corporate learners with smartphones and they like it |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:43:25 | @Priscilamateini I also reward my adults with reward stickers. Works well. And the HW doesn't take long. #eltchat |
| fabenglishteach | 2014-09-17T11:43:31 | Gotta dash! Lovely chatting to you all, have a good week! #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:43:43 | @danapokle that sounds like a great idea - put smartphones to good use for HW #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:43:50 | @danapokle @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon @MarjorieRosenbe Nice what do you get them to do? #eltchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:43:52 | @Shaunwilden @dimodeca no I haven't seen them. Thanks for the link! #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:44:00 | @danapokle @Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe Smartphones have hit critical mass lately in Hungary. Time to introduce new methods. #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:44:00 | @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon They also got stickers from me and loved them! #eltchat |
| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:44:39 | Also nice to use http://t.co/yShS3wPRjB for ss w/o smartphones - no installation neede just email recording #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:44:43 | @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C Bet the stickers were great! #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:44:47 | @Shaunwilden @danapokle @Marisa_C @Philip_Saxon Who is Q for? #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:44:48 | @StudyBundles @dimodeca He has been flipping elt for a couple of years spoke about it at IATEFL a couple of years ago #eltchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:44:49 | @edchatirl @Shaunwilden @dimodeca true, think there's often (not always!) a way round lack of connection though #eltchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:45:29 | @Philip_Saxon @Marisa_C Always - they keep them, show them around. A huge hit. Used them with top govt. officials as well. #eltchat |
| edchatirl | 2014-09-17T11:45:45 | @StudyBundles @Shaunwilden @dimodeca what would you suggest? #eltchat |
| Priscilamateini | 2014-09-17T11:46:02 | I try to explain for them the importance of doing it and if they don't they can't see their sense of achievement, and my feedback #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:46:06 | @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C Are Edmodo badges also an option? Wondering how that works. #ELTchat |
| MarjorieRosenbe | 2014-09-17T11:47:29 | Just on FB - could make fun HW assigment - how 'not' to write to prof and an email that gets a response. #eltchat http://t.co/J070HRBwcF |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:47:36 | RT @edchatirl: @StudyBundles @Shaunwilden @dimodeca what would you suggest? #eltchat Lost the thread, suggest for what? |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:47:45 | @Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe Would love to know more. Can you recommend blog post or similar for FAQs? #ELTchat |
| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:47:45 | @edchatirl @Shaunwilden @dimodeca In the past I've put vids on s/d cards for ss who cld watch on smartphones #eltchat |
| edchatirl | 2014-09-17T11:47:47 | @Marisa_C @Priscilamateini That's an interesting question, I hope someone has a creative answer for it! #eltchat |
| Philip_Saxon | 2014-09-17T11:48:15 | @Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe Edmodo FAQs, I mean. #ELTchat |
| edchatirl | 2014-09-17T11:48:57 | @StudyBundles @Shaunwilden @dimodeca oh that's very creative, did it work well? #eltchat |

| StudyBundles | 2014-09-17T11:52:36 | @edchatirl @Shaunwilden @dimodeca Yes it did, but it was quite a bit of effort/planning/work to set it up :) #eltchat |
| edchatirl | 2014-09-17T11:53:17 | @StudyBundles @Shaunwilden @dimodeca I can imagine!! Sounds like their lucky to have a dedicated teacher! #eltchat |
| Shaunwilden | 2014-09-17T11:53:26 | @StudyBundles @edchatirl @dimodeca I guess another option is put stuff on USBs #eltchat |

| Marisa_C | 2014-09-17T11:59:35 | @Philip_Saxon sounds good but what format would the HW take? A recorded conversation or a report? #eltchat |
