My english classroom homework english in lupion

Students don’t have to spend lots of money to have fun with this homework assignment. Send students out to the store of their choice or the local mall for these fun assignments. Have students practice telling a salesperson what they’re looking for and then getting directions to that item in the store.

Music is good for English learners, too, since it stresses many aspects of language that can otherwise be hard to isolate. Have students choose some English songs to listen to for homework and then do the following: Practice the lyrics to learn intonation and rhythm. Note slang and cultural references in the songs.

If your school has a library or computer lab where students can complete VoiceThread activities, that would be great to point out, especially for students who don’t have access at home. If your students aren’t getting enough practice speaking English in class, try moving online and assign speaking homework using VoiceThread.

I had no idea what speaking homework would look like until I found VoiceThread, which I really can’t say enough good things about. VoiceThread markets itself as a “collaborative, multimedia slide show that holds images, documents, and videos” which, as I mentioned in TESOL Connections, allows students to submit both written and oral comments.
