www.verbuga.eu

Very practical website recently posted by jimmyp for practising verb conjugation in French, Spanish, German, Dutch and English. It is easy to select the range of tenses and verbs you'd like to practise, and it helpfully divides the verb selection into regular and irregular to help students pick. We've recently had some INSET from Derek Bacon, chief examiner for AQA Spanish, during which he emphasized that in practice, the difference between top grades and the runners-up at A2 is mostly based on the translation and essay sections of the exam. Since then I've been increasing the number of formal verb tests I've given to my Upper Sixth, and think this will be a useful tool in preparing them rigorously for those parts of the exam.

Perfect Tense

Inspiration and fascination from TED

The TED website provides a brilliant range of short videos on fascinating topics. Great for assemblies, class discussions, G&T students and generally getting your brain going again after a hard day's teaching! This one is on a subbject close to my heart: babies' language acquisition.

Moo0sic to my ears

A delegate today shared moo0's free voice recorder with me (thanks Christophe!) So easy to download and use, it seems a completely painless way of making quick and easy voice recordings in mp3 format with students. Audacity is now only for very special occasions. And now I'm going to go off and dabble with the rest of moo0's range...
