Using Case Studies in the Classroom

Using Case Studies in the Classroom If you teach an advanced high school class, youre always looking for opportunities to help your students apply what they know and put theory into practice. Using case studies in the high school classroom can do just that. What are case studies? Commonly used in business schools, law schools and medical schools, case studies set up real-life problems and ask students to answer questions about those problems. They can be short or long and are often based on actual situations, but their objective is to give students information to discuss, dissect, and use to develop solutions to the problem at hand. Below are some suggestions from Huntington for how to use a case study in your classroom: Have students identify the main problem or problems in the case study, possible courses of action, and obstacles. Give students direction on how to think about and analyze a case based on your different course objectives. For example, you might have students think about how they would have approached a situation differently than those in the case study or weigh the pros and cons of different potential solutions to a situation. After dividing students into groups, assign members of each group different perspectives to take. Have groups present to one another after they have developed their analyses/positions. After all groups present to each other, have a group discussion about common viewpoints and arguments made by your students. Case studies are a great way to innovate in your classroom and prepare your students for college-level academics.

English Prepositions The Difference Between In and On

English Prepositions The Difference Between In and On As always, I learn the most about teaching English from my students. Last week a student from Brazil asked me for help with his prepositions in English. Prepositions are considered one of the most difficult aspects of learning English and many other languages, partially because it can appear that there are no clear rules for their use.My student pointed this out by asking why we say, that we read something on the internet, but in a book. At the time, I didnt have a good answer.English Prepositions In or On?After talking about this with some of our other LOI English teachers, we came to see the pattern. We read something in an object that can be physically opened, like a book or a newspaper. We read something on anything that cant be physically opened, such as the internet, a sign, or a particular page of a book i.e. I read it on page five.The conversation with my student went on to prepositions regarding places and time. Why do we say I live in Montana, but on 8th Street? Why do we meet at 5 pm but in 1996.There is a mostly logical way of remembering this. Basically, it depends on size or detail. For very definite places and times, we say at. For instance: Lets meet at 5 pm. or Let meet at the bar. For a little less definite times and places, we say on, this specifically applies to street names and days of the week. For instance: Lets meet on 8th Street. or Lets meet on Monday.And for much less specific places and times, such as states, countries, months and years, we use in. For instance: We met in California. or We met in 1998. Ok, thats all for now. I hope this helps you clear up some issues with English prepositions. If youd like to take an English lesson with us on prepositions, or any other subject, please contact us.If you enjoyed this post, please share it! Iman Very intersting and somehow rare explanation. Thanks very much.

Learning, Translated 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning

Learning, Translated 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning Learning, Translated: 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning Sitting on a beach or in a coffee shop in some far-flung place. Showing everyone how interesting you are by reading Camus or Cervantes or Murakami in the original language.Isnt it a beautiful image?Of course, the actual experience of trying to read books in a foreign language is not usually so beautiful.My early attempts to read in my target language meant a novel propped open with one hand and a dictionary with the other. It was slow and difficult. In the end, I  gave up.Thanks to modern tech such as the overlord of e-book readers, the Amazon Kindle, such tribulations are no longer necessary.The Kindle certainly has its haters among the literarily inclined, who prefer the feel and smell of a real paper-and-ink book. But love it or hate it, theres no denying that the Kindle is a fantastic tool for polyglot bookworms.Unlike with those early attempts and flicking back and forth with a reference book, the power to define and translate new vocabulary is, literally, in the palm of your ha nd. Whats the Big Idea? What You Need to Know About Kindles Translation FeatureThe first thing to note about Kindles translation feature is that  it only works with certain models of the Kindleâ€"specifically ones with a touch screen, like the Paperwhite or Kindle Fire.These offer the opportunity to see the definition of words while youre reading simply by holding your finger on the word you want to look up, provided you have the correct dictionary installed. There are Kindle-friendly monolingual dictionaries in many languages and bilingual dictionaries in common language pairs.Additionally, some versions of the Kindle will keep track of words youre learning for you, a feature that works great in conjunction with the FluentU Plus plan. FluentU takes real-world videosâ€"like movie trailers, music videos, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language lessons. With the Plus plan, you can create custom multimedia flashcard sets with your Kindle vocab lists in an instant: All you need to do is type the words in.There are some limitations to Kindles translation abilitiesâ€"for example, you can only translate single words rather than longer idioms and phrasesâ€"but the Kindle is a powerful tool to get reading in your target language. Lets take a look at how.Learning, Translated: 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning1. Make sure you have the correct dictionary installed.The first thing you need to do is to choose the appropriate dictionary for your language learning. If youre early in your language learning, a bilingual dictionary might be most appropriate to give you the direct translation of words. If youre a more advanced learner, its better to use a monolingual dictionary and translate yourself.Not sure how to find a dictionary or get started? This post will have you set up with your new Kindle dictionary before you know it.2. Select your reading material.Here are some key tips and things to know when selecting your reading material:As ever with choosing learning materials, make sure you choose material of an appropriate grade. Its tempting to try the challenge of jumping into a novel like Ulysses, but a surefire way of making yourself give up is to select something too tricky!If you search on Amazon for graded reader in your target language, youll see some options for language learners of different levels. These are particularly useful if youre still in the early stages of learning a language and would feel more comfortable with something targeted at beginners.Remember that a genre like literary fiction is likely to have complex vocabulary and metaphorical expressions that can be particularly difficult to work out. If youre still an intermediate reader, consider non-fiction genres like biographies, where texts are likely to be more direct and descriptive.Choose something you would be interested in in your first language. If you have to spend weeks translating a sci-fi novel when you only read romance, it wont be rewar ding for you.There are plenty of options for free texts on the Amazon site. Simply use the check boxes on the left-hand side in the Kindle Store to select the language you want and then sort by price from lowest to highest. Usually these texts are ones that have been around for long enough to be exempt from copyright laws, so just be aware that the language may not be as up-to-date as in a modern text.3. Start reading.Dont expect to understand every word right awayâ€"after all, theres a reason why youre practicing reading! It’s easy to get frustrated when there are key parts of the text that you dont fully understand, but its important to be patient. Reading to learn a language is naturally going to be more difficult than reading for pleasure in your mother tongue, but it will be all the more rewarding for that reason!So, when you first come to a word you dont know, try to understand it from context. Think about cognates or similarities to words youve seen before, and if that does nt help, then simply try to think of the things that would make sense in that place.Dont stop there. The more you interrupt your reading, the more disjointed it will feel and the easier it will be for you to get bored and want to stop. Read to the end of the sentence, paragraph or even page.Try to summarize to yourself the meaning of what you just read, then go back and read it again.This time, when you get to the unfamiliar word, tap on it to check the dictionary definition or translation into your language. Go back and re-read sentences and paragraphs to make sure you can translate them properly.4. Review!As we know, its all well and good to see new wordsâ€"but they arent going to stick just from seeing them once. Perhaps youre the type who, when reading in your target language, scribbles notes and translations all over the page. Kindle has a note-taking feature, but theres something you can do thats even better.A really handy feature for using your Kindle as a language learning t ool has been introduced for the Paperwhite: Vocabulary Builder. Heres how to use it:When you look a word up by placing your finger on it, its automatically added as a flashcard to your vocabulary list. When you want to review, just select the menu from any book and select Vocabulary Builder. Youll see a list of the words youve looked up.Scan the words and try to remember their meanings. Then click on each word to see the definition. You can also tap Usage to see the context it was used in when you looked it upâ€"the full sentence from the book.You can also work it the other way around. Tap Books at the top of the screen to see a list of books in which youve looked up words. You can then see the list of words you wanted to translate in that book. That means if you want to go over the vocabulary in the most recent book you read, its all there for you in one place.When you want to test yourself, tap Flashcards at the bottom. Youll be shown the words in your Vocabulary Builder in a rand om order, alongside the full sentence from the book you looked it up in. Try to remember the meaning and then check the definition to see if you were right. When you think youve fully learnt the word, you can click Mark as Mastered and the word will no longer appear as a flashcard.If your version of the Kindle doesnt have this feature, recreate it yourself. Keep a list of the words you had to look up and, at the end of each chapter you read, go over them again. If you cant remember the word, go back to the chapter, find it and use the context to remind yourself. You could even go so far as to create the flashcards for yourself!5. On to the next one.Its great how a Kindle shows you the progress youve made with your reading. Youll have a full shelf of foreign-language books in your pocket in no time.Happy reading!And One More ThingExcited to jump into language learning? Then youre going to love learning with FluentU!FluentU makes it possible to learn languages  from music videos, comm ercials, news and inspiring talks.  Its all stuff that native speakers  actually watch.  With FluentU, you learn real languagesâ€"the same way that natives  speak them.

4 Tips to Follow for a Positive Work-Life Balance

4 Tips to Follow for a Positive Work-Life Balance via Pixabay 1. Leave Your Work at Work As much as you want to impress your boss with your work ethic, it is important to separate home from work in order to achieve positive work-life balance. When you end your day at the office, make sure to  end your day  at  the office. That is, turn off your email and dont answer your phone unless you know are expecting something important to happen outside of normal hours. By doing so, you will allow your brain to decompress and recoup after a long day. When you do not think about work 24/7, you will be able to go to work each morning with a fresh perspective on problems. You will also be more sociable in your home life if you are not staring at your phone or laptop the whole time. In a world where we are always tethered, it is even more important that you find a way to take time away from the work tether when you are out with friends. Additionally, if your job involves you working from home, then you should try to develop a specific workspace separate from the rest of your house. Id eally, this would be an entirely separate room; but if that is not possible, dedicate a desk or table to work only; and, above all, do not work from bed. Similarly, you should leave most of home at home. That is, when you are at your desk, whether in the office or at home, you should avoid texting outside friends or family unless for emergency purposes. Leaving social aside will allow you to be more productive and efficient during your work hours, and it will allow you to be  more  sociable later on in the day, when you can celebrate your achievements. 2. Exercise Spending time outside of work by doing something active will also lead to a positive work-life balance. This could be going for a run, doing yoga, walking the dog...anything that gets you moving. When you exercise before leaving for work in the morning or right when you get home at the end of the day, you release stress endorphins, which will bring more clarity and peace to your lifestyle. When life is moving at 900mph, finding time to dedicate to personal health is even more crucial. via Pixabay 3. Set a Structure Set goals and deadlines for any work-related projects. Owning a planner will help a lot with positive work-life balance. By keeping a relatively-strict schedule, you will refrain from becoming overwhelmed to the point that you cannot leave your work at the office; and it will also allow for more opportunity for you to not think about work  all  the time and thus enjoy hanging out with friends and family. At the same time, a schedule will make you stay on track so that you can impress your boss with efficiency and maybe get things done ahead of time. Along with this time-management skill (which hopefully college taught you some of) for a positive work-life balance comes the idea to start small. Whether this is on the work side, or the life side, if you have something you want to change, dont try to do it in one drastic jump. Instead, make little adjustments to your standard schedule, and once you successfully make one adjustment, start to make another. Build slowly, and you will succe ed! 4. Take Breaks When it is time for lunch at work, actually take your lunch break. Even if your bring your own food, leave your desk and find somewhere else to eat (kitchen, patio..etc). You could also go for a walk during this time or do a complete exercise regiment depending on your time schedule. Taking the time to walk away from a project, get some nourishment, and talk to other people, will allow you to come back refreshed for the second half of the day. Of course, you do not want to take too many breaks and be unproductive, as this will lead to lack of success both in and out of the workplace (i.e. your structure will be gone), but a few breaks can go a long way towards a positive work-life balance. If nothing else from these tips, take this one to heart. If you want to have a positive work-life balance,    listen to your mind and body.  Your body knows what is best for you, and it will tell you when you are doing too much or too little. No one else can tell you what is best for you than you. So, when you are feeling overtired, not yourself, or lethargic, look back on your days and see how you can adjust by way of the above tips.
