INTERVUE in teaching?

1.to assess SPEAKING SKILLS.You can use intervue as a tool to assess students' speaking.Students can record it at home and send it to teacher's email.Teachers or students can view the progress of students from one video to another which can be very helpful where students can repeatedly see their video and notice their faults so that they can improve the next time.
-using INTERVUE,Teacher can set a question and ask students to respond to the question.Teacher can send the question link to the students so that they would be able to post their response on the same


2. teacher can keep RECORD of the assessment.Using intervue,teacher can keep record of the assessment while if teacher do the assessment without record it,teacher won't be able to see the past assessment.This is sometimes important as a prove to the ministry and parents if they question about speaking assessment.


3.good for INTROVERT.Intervue will be able to help students that are afraid of the crowd or shy person to talk.I am pretty sure they will talk more using this as they will have less stage fright. However,teacher should encourage them to speak in front of people as well as that is the purpose of speaking skills.Intervue can be as encouragement for them to speak in the beginning.


ADVANTAGES

1.Free!!
2.Easy to use
3.Accessible.Everyone can access to the video however you can make it private if you don't want to.


DISADVANTAGES

1.LIMITED..it is only 60seconds..well since it's free there's nothing much you could do.Students won't be able to speak a lot.

how to use PODCAST in English Language Teaching

1.Teacher can ask students to read article and record it
2.Teacher can also ask students to talk on a topic and record it
3.it can be type of assessment as well.

One of the website that I would suggest for podcasting is


advantages of vocaroo
1.It is free
2.It is easy to use so students that do not know much about it can use it as well.You will only need to open the website and record you voice.and you're DONE!!



Suggested lesson plan using vocaroo

a)speaking skill


1. Teacher can use it to develop for speaking skill. First,teacher can teach any topic that you
     want students to practice later on.For instance,teacher teach past tense in order for students to be
     able to tell story of unforgettable moment in their life.

2.Teacher then gives example of his story.

3.Students then work in class with their partner.They can do the draft together and help on each
   other's idea.
  -students can do recording as a homework of the same question
  -sharing option-everyone puts up on the same website,i.e.
  class blog
  - then you can ask students to vote on the best one


b) journal audio recording
-It can be use as formative assessment for speaking.Teacher gives different topic each time to assess students' improvement in speaking.This is easier to access as students and teacher can listen to the recording repeatedly.

c)Pronounciation
-use newspaper clip to read aloud and record it
