TCLP - April 2024 Highlights
In this video:
- Laila Taik (Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy Charter School, NY) helps her students practice both their Arabic vocabulary and their knowledge of Arabic-speaking countries with a fly-swatter game. The teacher describes in Arabic how the flag of an Arabic-speaking country looks, and students at the board compete to identify which flag the teacher is describing and what country the flag belongs to.
- Lo Yu-Ting (Sauk Prairie High School, WI) motivates her students to remember vocabulary words in Mandarin by having her students play a game of charades. One student silently acts out the different vocabulary in front of the class, and the other students must guess in Mandarin what he is acting out. The student who correctly guesses the Mandarin vocabulary word first wins a small prize.
- Laila El Baghazaoui (Washington Latin Public Charter Upper School, DC) reviews Arabic vocabulary words with her students using an English-Arabic matching game. Working together in small groups, students must match vocabulary words in Arabic with the corresponding English translations.
- Yuan Zhen (Butler Academy, SC) leads his students in a song in Mandarin about the spring season. By learning songs in Mandarin, students practice their vocabulary knowledge and pronunciation, as well as familiarize themselves with different aspects of Chinese culture.
