mmmm. . . . . maybe not “fun” though some of the links do have some fun. So – to improve your speaking (especially fluency) during the holidays, there are some activities posted on the Form 6 / 7 blog. (just click the link!) There are 4 main areas which will also help to develop your listening, reading and writing skills (especially by developing ideas and vocabulary!)
Do a little bit every day and you will be amazed at how much your speaking will improve.

Exam preparation 6&7
Here is a quick check list of some things you can do to prepare for the exam as well as a review of the skills you should show during the exam.
6_7 oral exam prep
Form 6 students – please note that I will be doing over 6 hours of listening to presentations and discussions as the “Examiner”. I want to be interested – and I want to see students interested and engaged in what they are doing! I do not want to fall asleep.
pronunciation
The focus for Form 5 for this cycle is improving pronunciation. Remember that knowing correct pronunciation can also help your listening skills. While there is a note on the Form 5 page, this really is something everyone should be working on no matter what form you are in.
No homework? Feeling bored?
Don’t worry F 6 & 7. There are loads of links here you can use for listening and speaking as well as writing. Examples include: ELLLO.org for listening, the Academic word list for vocabulary development, the You Tube “th” lesson on the Form 7 page, collocations exercises, BBC learning Englishand a whole lot more. Don’t feel bored (not boring!) on a Friday night ever again.
Homework
You will see I have added a special page for homework. Homework will not be difficult – it will connect to what you are doing outside of class. Sometimes you will write a journal entry, other times, you will do reading. It is most important that you make the time to complete your homework. It is your way of improving your learning.
Science next term
A highlight of next term will be the visit to Scienceworks. We will also be looking at some Science as a focus in class. If you want to have a go at a few experiments yourself, have a look at: http://www.csiro.au/resources/DIYScience.html There are lots of things you can do at home as well as online activities.
