THE BENEFIT OF EMAIL AND CHAT ROOM FOR ELT

The benefit of chat room Students are more inclined to participate since the

context is less formal Many students are already familiar with chat and

use it for recreational purposes Chat generates a lot of writing (although students

tend not to recognize this medium as producing "real writing" - still you might use this opportunity to talk about what "real writing is" and why it's viewed as more valid than informal writing)

Chat can generate ideas which may not arise during a classroom discussion

THE BENEFIT OF EMAIL It's usually free and the person receiving it gets

the message within seconds. People can also transfer files and pictures from

one location to the another, making it almost a necessity in modern life.

A SAMPLE TEXT CHAT LESSON PLAN Before the class

1. Make contact with the teacher of a similar class in term of level, class size and access to technology2. Learners also need to be confident about how to use the chat program.3. With the teacher of other class, set a time for the chat.4. Try out with other teacher before class

Class room management issues1. Ideally learners are put in pairs for the first chat.2. Learners can either conduct the cat in pairs, or consecutive learners can be allowed access to the same computer for a certain amount of time3. Using voice chat rather than text

During the cat1. Provide hand out worksheet2. Each learner has a slightly different worksheet3. Asking questions on their worksheet4. Print out their chat script and complete the worksheet from that, once the cat is finished.

After chat1. Display their profile in the classroom separately2 Create learner profile in an inter-class blog

CONCORDANCES AND CORPUSES FOR LANGUAGE ANALYSIS

A “concordance”, according to the Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary (1987), is “An alphabetical list of the words in a book or a set of books which also says where each word can be found and often how it is used.”
