Dear SHARERS ,
Gee, It´s great to be writing for
you again. Seomehow we´ve got to make these postings shorter. Some SHARERS
complained they cannot get them because they are too long. We´ll find a way SOON
and that won´t imply making the shorter.
Another surprise for all our dear
SHARERS.
Today we wanted to start with a list that
a dear SHARER, Cecilia Ramirez sent to us ( Can we add "writing SHARE " to it ?)

(1) FROM JAMIE :
"PASSIONFRUIT" FOR THE LANGUAGE TEACHER
Dear Omar and Marina,
Thank you for your offer to
include an idea from Passionfruit in SHARE. It was hard choosing something
short enough for the magazine and representative of the work! There are
some nice ideas for posters in the book and loads of language practice material
but I finally settled on something any teacher could set up : it´s called
"Instant Time Capsules" .
Best wishes,
Jamie
INSTANT
TIME CAPSULES
This
is a quick activity you can do without
planning.
Aim: To practise
describing objects and their uses.
Language: Descriptive
terms and the use of 'to' and 'for' for explaining purpose. Any relevant
vocabulary.
Level: Elementary and above.
Materials: Whatever you have in the classroom and
in the students' possession.
Paper.
Time: 10 minutes in spoken version, 20
minutes with writing.
Procedure:
Introduce
the idea of time capsules as a way of preserving the present for future
generations. Ask what objects the
students would imagine finding in a time capsule representing life in their town
50, 100 or 300 years ago.
Next,
ask them to find an object in the classroom, in their bag or on their person
which they would donate to an instant time capsule. It should be something to represent the
present day like the latest model of sports shoe, a sticker, a new type of
calculator, a picture of a hot star,
etc.
Each
student writes a paragraph explaining his/her object to someone who is going to
open the capsule in 500 years time.
You may want to do a model for the group
first.
Students
put their work on display and walk around and viewing everyone's choices.
Thank
you, Jamie for SHARING a little bit of your resource book for teachers
with us.
(2) A WOMAN´S LOOK IN THE MIRROR
Our very dear friend and
founding SHARER Elida Messina sends us this thought-provoking piece of
reflection (albeit: " in the mirror" ). What does a woman see when she looks at
herself in the mirror ?
Age
3: Looks at herself and sees a Queen!
Age
8: Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping
Beauty.
Age 15: Looks at herself and sees herself as
Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/Cheerleader or if she is PMS'ing: sees
Fat/Pimples/UGLY ("Mom I can't go to school looking like
this!")
Age 20: Looks at
herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"
- but decides she's going anyway.
Age 30: Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin,
too short/too tall,too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have
time to fix it so she's going anyway.
Age 40: Looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin,
too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but says, "At least, I'm
clean" and goes anyway.
Age 50: Looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes
wherever she wants to go.
Age 60: Looks at herself and reminds herself of all
the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out
and conquers the world.
Age 70: Looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter
and ability, goes out and enjoys life.
Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple
hat and goes out to have fun with the world.
Does the same happen to men ? The ball is in our
court now . Would any SHARER contribute a similar reflection about men ?
(3) WORKSHOPS IN THE LAND AT THE END OF THE WORLD

(4) FROM ETp : LOOKING AT SUDENTS´MISTAKES
As promised in our last issue of SHARE, Our
dear SHARER and friend Nicolas Ridley sends us an extract from his prestigious
magazine ETp :
Dear Omar
One of my
favourite articles in ENGLISH TEACHING professional is Michael
Swan's "Seven
bad reasons for teaching grammar ... and two good ones" which
was published
in April 1998 (issue 7).
It starts off: "Grammar is important, but most
of the time, in most parts of
the world, people probably teach too much
grammar". He then goes on to list
and describe seven less than justifiable
reasons why teachers teach grammar
and two very strong reasons why they
should. I won't try to summarise his
excellEnt article here but I would like
to refer to a piece of research that
he quotes in his article.
He
writes: "In a well-known experiment (Hughes and Lascaratou, 1982) mistakes
made by Greek secondary-school children were shown to Greek teachers of
English, and British non-teachers. Members of each group graded the mistakes
on a scale from 1 (least serious) to 5 (most serious)." He then invited
readers to assess the seriousNess of the mistakes themselves. I thought it
might be interesting to ask your SHARERS to do the same.
The
sentences were:
1. * We agreed to went by car.
2. * We didn't knew
what happened.
3. * Dizzys from the wine we decided to go home.
4. * The
people are too many so and the cars are too many.
5. * The bus was hit in
front of.
6. * There are many accidents because we haven't brought (broad)
roads.
How serious are these mistakes? I'll supply the answers given by
Greek
teachers and British non-teachers later!
With best wishes
from (very damp) west London

We want to publicly thank
Miriam for her many messages. Not a week goes by without a message by
Miriam, from the most elaborate to her "early attempts at
Power Point" , all of
them are evidence of her warmth and thoughtfulness.

AGNES OF GOD
Our
fellow-SHARER, Albert Canil, writes to us to announce that The Suburban
Players will be proudly presenting John
Pielmeier's Agnes of God.
Says Albert, director of the play :
It is very
difficult to nail down “Agnes of God”.
We know that some people who have
watched the Hollywood version of the story starring Anne Bancroft and Jane Fonda
believe that they know what it is all about. Wrong. Film has a
particular language wherein the director tells you what to watch and when.
Theatre is something different, so different, and particularly in the way we
have approached this production. No, if you have watched the film (and we
recommend that you not watch it before seeing the play) you will not know what
“Agnes” is all about…
We ourselves who
have been rehearsing the play for many-a-week find it difficult to define the
play, and we open our rehearsals with discussions on what its true essence
is. Is this the ultimate debate between Science and Religion? We know it
involves three women, three women who will be transformed as the play
progresses, three women who will have to face their ultimate realities. We
know it is a miracle play that deals with the innermost recesses of the human
mind. We know it is a play that has beautiful music sung, very stirring
music that frames the words (words of anger, words of love, words of hope…).
Our production is
presented in the round, with the audience surrounding
the three actresses
who perform in a sort of pit, an O ringed by plastic chairs. There is no scenery involved, no special
effects, nothing but the use of the most stupendous musical instrument:
the vox humana, that swells and sweeps us off our feet.
This is to be a
theatrical experience in which the audience becomes emotionally involved, having
its beliefs and views of the world and the myriad shades of grey that paint the
human soul revisited with the help of three talented actresses: Annette Krieger,
Janet Lenton and Moira Kotroba.
The play has
three acts. Acts I and II are divided by an intermission.
Act III will begin
within your heart after you leave The Playhouse. That is our hope,
the miracle we are expecting, and the one we have been working for…
Further
Data for Theatregoers
Opening: Friday June 16th at 9 pm (running only for four
weekends).
Performances on Fridays & Saturdays at 9 pm . Sunday
Matinees at 6 pm
At I lasts 1 hr
5; then there is a fifteen minute intermission; Act II lasts 40 minutes.
At The Playhouse
~ Moreno 80 ~ San Isidro . Tickets are $ 10.- each (one
ticket free every ten purchased)
Albert warns us
that Agnes is a play intended for 16+ with a
good FCE level.
On the one hand the dialogues would be irrelevant for
young teenagers and, on the other hand, certain scenes could be deemed a tad too
strong for the younger crowd. He also states that due to the nature
of this production no spectators will be allowed in after the play has started.
Extra
Ammenities ? There will be a bar open with sandwiches, drinks and hot soup.

(9) BERNIEH´S CORNER
This
week our dear friend and SHARER, Bernardo Banega buck@mail.pccp.com.ar answers a question
from a group of students from one ISFD who want to know more
about Communicative Teaching . Says our Internet
guru and most generous consultant :
I
think you'll get plenty food for thought on this subject at:
http://deil.lang.uiuc.edu/class.pages/EIL367/sp00/Home.html
In
fact, this is Irene Koshik's webpage for a course on "Introduction
to
Communicative Approaches to Second or Foreign Language Teaching"
at
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There you'll find (on the
left)
links to the Course Syllabus, Class Schedule, etc., AND to the Study
Guides
and Final Projects. Though this is not a "tutorial", commentaries and
questions posed in the Study Guides will offer you some insight on the issues at
stake re. this subject. Moreover, if you follow the "Final Projects" link, then
the "367 Final Projects" link again on the resulting page, you'll be led to an
index of several projects (lesson plans) designed by Irene's students. Though
some of these were reported as "missing" and other as "password protected" when
I tried to browse them, there are other active (even some videoclips) that you can use as a
reference.
Another fine information resource you can use is :
http://www.aitech.ac.jp/~iteslj
This
is "The Internet TESL Journal", with lot of articles, papers and
resources
re. "Teaching English as a Second Language". This webpage has a
search
facility ("Search The Internet TESL Journal's Web Site") at the
bottom: try
any of the two search windows using "Communicative Approach" as
your search
phrase; then, browse the results and choose those most convenient for
you.
Tks. for your question... it was quite challenging to find some
"useful" material. Feel free to e-mail me back if this is information is not
enough for your purposes.
Cheers,
Bernieh.
If you have not
visited Bernieh´s Web Page, do not say we did not tell us what you were missing

(10) BEYOND BELIEF
Our dear
SHARERS Laura Szmuch and Jamie Duncan are conducting a new Workshop called
"Beyond belief ?" at their RESORCEFUL TEACHING CENTER in Versailles, Buenos Aires
. They say :
"A
major factor that can affect our progress in learning is the beliefs we
hold. This workshop, based on NLP
research and techniques, will explore some of the common beliefs, which limit us
in class and how we can easily turn these into facilitating steps forward
"
Date:
Friday 23 June, 6.30 - 9.30 pm.
Venue:
Gallardo 719 Dto 2, Versailles, Capital Federal
Cost:
20 pesos (15 pesos for those currently enrolled on an RT
course)
Please
contact Jamie or Laura to reserve your place at Phone:

KAKISTOCRACY
Kakistocracy (
noun )
Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled
citizens.
[Greek kakistos, worst, superlative of kakos, bad + -cracy,
government, rule.]
"Russia is proving the opposite. Late
last year, the kakistocracy propping
up Boris Yeltsin decided
not to risk giving up power."
William Safire, Contrasting
Elections, The New York Times, March 20, 2000.
And here´s some "interesting"
remarks by AWAD editors which you can
use for class discussion with your advanced students. I undeerlined some parts
as a guide for debate :
" Democracy, government of the
people, by the people, and for the people, is only as good as the governed
demand. As recent elections in several places around the globe have
illustrated, this leaves a lot to be desired. However, until we invent
a better system, it is the best one can get. The presidential race in the US
is heating up too and is being closely watched by the citizens of the world.
For better or worse, the results of this contest will have repercussions
everywhere. Later this year we'll know whether Bush gets gored or Gore gets
bushed.

I regret to announce that an last minute and unavoidable
engagement in Uruguay where I will represent my University will
prevent me from attending the Salta Advanced Language
Conference to be held from 18th to 21st August 2000 and to chair the

( his letter of invitation was reproduced in SHARE 5 ), I apologize again for
not honouring my word and I wish the organizers the
success they truly deserve.

MANY DUCKY* RETURNS OF THE DAY !
Yesterday, it was Donald Duck´s Birthday.He turned 66 years old !!
Donald Duck made his debut on June 9, 1934, in a "Silly
Symphony" opus
called "The Wise Little Hen." At that point, he had black feet and a long,
pointy beak.
A year or two before, Walt Disney himself had heard the voice
of a man named Clarence Nash (who acted as spokesperson for dairy products on
local radio) reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb" as though he were a tongue-tied
duckling.
Disney instantly knew he had his man. . .and it was so, for more
than 160 short and longer films, all the way to Nash's death in 1985. His
"Donald" voice was replaced by that of James "Jimmy" Macdonald.
On the stone
marking the graves of Nash and his wife are scribed pictures of Donald and Daisy
- surrounded by the outline of a large heart.
(*) Do you know the meaning of
"ducky" ? Nice opportunity for some dictionary work.

___________________________________________________
Time to say goodbye.
This time our dear SHARER, Graciela Paez, will help us :
" Dear Omar and Marina,
it's always a pleasure to get your SHARES and send a small contribution, so here
goes another one I am sure you'll enjoy :
To:
YOU
Date:
TODAY
From: THE
BOSS
Subject:
YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE
I am God.
Today I
will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not
need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you
that
you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve
it.
Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to
do)
box. It will be addressed in My time, not
yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not
hold
on to it.
If you find yourself stuck in
traffic;
Don't despair. There are people in this
world
for whom driving is an unheard of
privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work;
Think
of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you
despair over a relationship gone bad;
Think of the person who has never
known what it's
like to love and be loved in
return.
Should you grieve the passing of another
weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits, working
twelve
hours a day, seven days a week to feed her
children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles
away
from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would
love
the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you
notice a new gray hair in the mirror;
Think of the cancer patient in
chemo who wishes
she had hair to examine.
Should you
find yourself at a loss and pondering what
is life all about, asking
what is my purpose?
Be thankful. There are those who didn't live
long
enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find
yourself the victim of other
people's bitterness,ignorance, smallness
or insecurities;
Remember, things could be worse. You could be
them !!!!
TODAY BRIGHTEN SOMEBODY´S DAY AND HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK
