As promised, here is the handout for my BBELT presentations in Mexico City last weekend (click on the link below). It was a great weekend. Congratulations and thank you very much to Pilar and everyone else at the British Council. And thank you all for being such nice people – Mexican English teachers are great! Jamie :)

PS Did anyone else feel like they were going to come out on a football pitch when we walked through the tunnel to lunch?

At the moment, I’m in Norwich, working with a group of Chinese teachers of English. We are making a lot of use of video cameras and last week one of the trainees filmed this videotelling activity. The full lesson plan is on Lessonstream. Click here to see it.

In the clip, James Thomas, my friend and colleague who is also working with the group, makes a cameo appearance.

Mr. W videotelling

This clip demonstrates the videotelling principle. Here I videotell the Mr. W video to a fun group of English learners from China.

After hearing about the clip, I replayed this recording of myself. That way my students were able to see their teacher’s spoken text a second time. Their task was then to make a note of all of the new vocabulary that was introduced to them via the videotelling stage.

I played this clip at the Linguascope conference in Brighton this weekend. I’ll upload the entire presentation when I have a chance to edit it.
