Teacher's and student's classroom language (Ana)

Students can listen all the vocabulary we use at class easily, at he same time they can read it.



Listen carefully   Let's start  Are you ready?   Work in pairs  Sit down  Come to the board Have you finished? Excellent  Look at the picture  Write in your notebook Repeat after me 

Be quiet, please  Open your books at page...  Well done  Great  Good job


How can I speak English to my teacher? These are some of the most common vocabulary at class for students.



 




Student's classroom language


I don't understand  How do you pronounce...? How do you spell...? I don't know  Can you speak more loudly? What does...... mean?  Is it right?  Could you repeat, please? What page are we on?   I'm sorry I'm late  Can I go to the toilet? Can you speak more slowly?  How do you say ..... in English?

The Turing Test (Mamen)

Ask your students the following questions in open class:

• Do you think a computer will be invented that can interact with a human without the human realising that it’s a computer?
• How well do you think computers cope now with language?
• Have you ever used a translation tool? Have you found it useful/ accurate? Has the translation been good enough to use?

 Tell your students they are going to do a computer based activity and that their first task is to use the internet to find out who Alan Turing is and what the following have in connection with him.

• The Enigma Code
• poisoned apple
• Gordon Brown  
• Steve Jobs (
• The Turing Test

 Students  work in pairs  and think of five questions they would ask the computer to find out if there was a human answering them or whether the answers were coming from a robot/the computer. RULE: they are not allowed to ask whether the 'person' is a robot/computer.

Then ask students to work alone and to speculate what the answer is going to be.

Students then follow this link: http://alice.pandorabots.com/ and http://www.cooldictionary.com/splotchy.mpl and start their chat with the person/robot.

Students then chat to Captain Kirk: http://sheepridge.pandorabots.com/pandora/talk?botid=fef38cb4de345ab1&skin=iframe-voice
