Photo Credit by AI

Objective: 

To enhance fluency, pronunciation, and confidence of students in speaking the English language through interactive role-play and peer feedback. The four levels of the Kirkpatrick Model will be used to measure progress.


Step-by-Step Live Class Experiment. 


Level 1 - Reaction (Engagement and Motivation) 

Activity: 

- Begin by an ice breaker discussion, such as: If you could visit any place in the world, what would you visit and why? 

- Next tell the lesson purpose, that is, to enhance speaking English by playing a role. 

Measurement Tool: 

- Have a fast Google Survey or an oral survey where the students rate their enjoyment and engagement on a scale of 1-5. 


Level 2 - Learning (Knowledge and skills acquired) 

Activity: 

- Learn conversational patterns like greetings, expressions and links like actually, in my opinion and that is interesting. 

- Present an example of a conversation between two friends who are about to make a plan. 

- Instruct students to mark new words and expressions. 

Assessment: 

- Have a brief exam or a vocabulary review. 

- Pair-Share to have the students use the new words in sentences. 


Level 3 - Behavior (Application of Learning) 

Activity: 

- Pairs or groups of students will do role plays- eg a customer and a shopkeeper, an interviewer and an interviewee, a teacher and a student, a traveller and a hotel staff. 

Peer Feedback: 

- The peers provide feedback on fluency, accuracy and pronunciation after every role play using a basic rubric. 


Level 4 - Results

Activity: 

- Observe spontaneous speaking of students in class activities or groups after a week. 

- Compare the level of confidence and participation levels prior to and following the experiment. 

Evaluation Tool: 

- Checklist by an instructor to record fluency, pronunciation and the desire to talk. 


Conclusion: 

The experiment allows teachers to observe how learners respond to activities, acquire the main aspects of language, use them in practice, and sustain the progress with the course of time, which makes the English classroom more attentive to various learners and more interesting.

    I took CBSE online tuition Germany classes from Ziyyara and had a wonderful experience. The tutors are supportive and ensure that every topic is explained clearly with real-life examples.

Human & AI Collaboration

AI generated Photo  Have you heard that your jobs as you know them in the future will be different due to a phenomenon known as Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Imagine AI as a really intelligent computer assistant that will be able to produce new things, such as stories and pictures, by learning with information. At the moment, AI technologies are making an enormous contribution to the work process of individuals globally. As a matter of fact, according to most bosses, they want to recruit someone who has knowledge of how to utilize AI and, even better, assign them more significant responsibilities! That is why it is better to learn about AI today, as you are getting a head start into your future. Most of the jobs are being AI-upgraded, particularly in schools, offices, hospitals, and law offices. The future workforce will, as with people in the past, need to learn how to collaborate with AI. It is not replacing people with robots but rather doing incredible tasks as a team of human...

The 3 Best Techniques of Engagement in the Classroom.

(AI Generated Photo) Student engagement is quite crucial in the learning process, as students learn better when they are engaged rather than sitting and listening to others. Learning is consequential and interesting when students talk, think, move, and exchange ideas. Among all strategies, I believe that the three most appropriate ones are High-Five Friend, Four Corners/This or That, and Gallery Walk, as they are easy, entertaining, and enable students to remain engaged in the classroom. High-Five Friend High-Five Friend is one of the most effective methods. This is an activity in which students are asked to find a partner and give them a high-five as well as a question or prompt that has been part of the lesson. I believe that this is a very good strategy since it allows all students to talk, ensuring that it is not only those who raise their hands. Students can learn things through explaining them to a peer sometimes better. It also causes the classroom to be more dynamic and less st...

The Classroom Without Walls

  This was the opening day of a new school term, and my pupils were in class feeling eager and ready to learn. The atmosphere was electric, some children paced anxiously up and down; others mumbled in altered tones. But today was different. I did not start as usual with the syllabus, but I went to the window, tied open the curtains, and told them, "Welcome to the world. This is our classroom today." The students looked at each other with a puzzled look. What do you have to say?" said Arif, a boy of infinite curiosity. I mean that the learning does not only occur within the walls of this school. History is in the streets, science is in the trees, math is in the market, and literature is in the story of every person. Nowadays we go out to know the world itself.  And thus in the park they had a class for the first time. They discussed the distances between trees and the measurement of the angles in the playground , and they heard the tales that were told to them by the eld...
