Dumpling Farewell Party
Here are some information I would like you to know:
1. According to voting result, the Dumpling Party will be held on the 10th of June, Friday evening. We will start making dumplings at 6 o’clock. Hopefully we can eat dumplings at 7 o’clock. While you’re eating, the advisory panel (plus Courtney) will present a short skit about Chu Yuan 屈原. The Dragon Boat Festival is to memorialize his greatness that we also make this day as the Poets’ Day.
2. Since that the Fulbright teachers have to hand in their reports to FSE before 6/15, we were thinking to move the deadline for the portfolio to 6/20. That way you can have more time to revise your portfolio if you want. If so, we’d like to change our last Monday meeting to the day of 6/20 instead of 6/13. Those who booked the interviews on the day of 6/20 will be automatically changed to 6/13. i.e. interviews on the day 6/13, portfolios due on 6/20. If you have any problem of this rearrangement, please do let us know ASAP!

Topic for today’s meeting: Textbook Evaluation
1. Details see Handouts from Sue .
2. Teachers have the right to delete or add some content that are inappropriate, sometimes not the entire unit but part of the unit.
3. Group discussions on your ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ of an English textbook:
Group A:
┿ clear layout and design | ━ distracting features |
┿ useful vocab and easy sentence pattern | ━ too many grammar structures |
┿ clear pronounced CDs | ━ consistency in phonics |
┿ authentic materials | ━ |
┿ easy to learn songs and catchy tunes | ━ |
Group B
┿ vocab, grammar, phonics & conversation together integrated content & skills | ━ bad chants and songs and grammar |
┿ emphasizes conversation used | ━ cultural connection is not authentic |
┿ connection between text and workbook | ━ no practical vocab for phonics |
┿ activities practice in workbook | ━ |
┿ | ━ |
Group C
┿ consistent organization | ━ songs with unfamiliar |
┿ relevant English(e.g. Classroom English) also interesting English(animals: iguana) | ━ age level appropriate |
┿ teacher’s book & material(e.g. flash cards) | ━ appropriate pace of content |
┿ | ━ |
┿ | ━ |
Group D
┿ pictures that support content | ━ too much index or too much Chinese translation |
┿ CD, VCD with good qualities | ━ |
4. Discussion on the list adapted from:
www.essex.au.uk/linguistics/pgr/egspll/volume1/PDFs/PEACOCK1.pdf
Each group had to narrow down the list to 30 items. The hint is to WEIGH your considerations. For example, if you think # 58 and #36 to be very important to your teaching, you can give them 4 point. For others that you don’t take too much consideration, give them less weight i.e. 1 or 2 points.
5. Then count the score for the textbooks that you exam, you’ll find one that suits you for the year. Don’ t forget to keep your teaching flexible when you found something’s wrong with the textbooks.
What to do for our next meeting on 5/16
a: Favorite poems workshop conducted by Sue
b: Fill in the survey design by the advisory panel
c: arrangement for the schedule for one-on-one consultations for portfolios
d: discussion the date for the dumpling party
e: arrangement of the interview schedule(both LETs and Fulbright teachers needed, but the interview will be held separately ) staring 5/23. Please choose a time for you to come to the teacher center. Anita and Joanne will do the interviews together.

Topic for today’s meeting: Meaningful EFL Games in classroom
1. Leanne presented a board game that looked like the Monopoly Game with which she put on some different questions like, What, When, Where, Why, How etc. The teacher rolled a dice and moved the magnet to the place according to the number the dice showed. Students can either create their own questions and ask teacher or just read the questions on the board. Leanne explained that her class is basically an advanced class but still there are some Ss that don’t go to BuSiBan i.e. cram school. Leanne also had a plain board that you can put your own word on.
2. Sue led with a GAME: Sue started with a word, the next one should find a word that start with the last letter of the previous word mentioned. For example, Sue picked the word’ dog’ then the next word should begin with ‘g’.
(If you need a definition for ‘game’, check the website: www.wordreference.com)
3. Showing Power Point slides. ‘Not just more GAMES’ Sue asked a few questions like ‘What is a game? What’s the difference between a game and an activity? What is a language game? ’
Sue later talked about the steps for today’s workshop: Reflection, Articulation(=to put into words) and Operationalization which are all good GRE words.( Take a closer look at them if you plan to have GRE exam. And it’s )
4. First: Reflection
Everyone wrote their favorite games, below is the list we gathered:
Bingo | Scary words |
Tossing Dolphin(turn-taking game) | Cowboy |
Missing game | Ask Mr. Wolf (what time is it?) |
Touching flash cards | Squat down, White Carrots (羅蔔蹲) |
Simon Says | Black Jack (gambling related) |
Mission Impossible （支援前線） | Imitations |
Wind Blows （musical chair? Duck, Duck Goose?） | 7 –up |
Hangman | Pictionary |
Concentration | I spy something |
Guess the price/bid up game/bargaining |
5. Articulation(=to put into words)
Good language games are:
(contributed from all the teachers:)
Communicative/ interactive, practical/useful, strategic, involve every students, fun/exciting, easy to understand, fit to students’ level, appropriate, objective-focused, engaging , easy to play with, fair, connecting speaking and writing forms, harmonious and peaceful, challenging, interesting, flexible, leave students with good feelings.
6. Operationalization
Match language skills with actions or activities to describe and select good language games for your students.
Sue had the formula goes like this:
Language skill (what they will practice or use) + Actions (what they will do) = Excellent language game.
Group discussion:
Bingo game: listening, speaking, comprehension, recognition for vocabs)
Cowboy game: recall/ concentration, speaking, fluency, accuracy…(though Sue and Gerry had bit different opinions)
Phonic game: I spy: meaning of words, listening/writing phonics, spelling
Hangman: spelling pattern, vocab games, phonics, multi-word hangman
White Carrots Squat(白蘿蔔蹲)： intelligibility, recall under pressure
Teacher speaks without making out sounds: ’ physical articulation’
Verb tense game: grammar, spelling, listening, authentic questions
