Wat denk je? 

Welk Europees land scoort het hoogst op gemiddelde leesvaardigheid?

Mobile phones

Beland & Murphy:

Onderzoek in 2015 toont aan dat 16-jarige studenten op school hoger scoren wanneer de telefoon niet in de klas is. 

PISA: 

Onderzoekt elke drie jaar hoe 15-jarigen het doen op school

 in Europa en buiten Europa.

Zwitsers onderzoek: geen telefoons geeft ongeveer 1 uur extra effectieve lestijd als resultaat. Het probleem is het multitasking. Prikkels op 1 dag van ons staat gelijk aan prikkels in een heel leven in de Middeleeuwen. Ons brein is nog niet geëvolueerd. 

Overall reading

2003: Nynke 17 jaar oud - geen telefoons in de klas. Nederland op plaats 9.

PISA resultaten 2003

In 2003 begon de telefoon echt op te komen en iedereen had er wel 1. Maar werd niet toegelaten in de klassen. Ook begon 3G in opkomst te komen, dus het was alleen snake, bellen en smsen. 

Overall reading

2018: NL op plaats 26. 

PISA resultaten 2018

We zijn onder het gemiddelde gezakt. Onderzoekers denken dat dit door ICT gebruik in de klas komt, mobiele telefoon maar ook ineffectief gebruik van laptops etc. 

Overall reading

2022: NL naar plaats 35. 

PISA resultaten 2022

We zijn onder het gemiddelde gezakt. Onderzoekers denken dat dit door ICT gebruik in de klas komt, mobiele telefoon maar ook ineffectief gebruik van laptops etc.

Context guessing

Goal of this class: students know that they can use context to understand what is being said.

 

• Why is context important?

• How about if I say: "It's okay to make mistakes". 

What is context?

Elicit: what is context?

What if I say?

"It's okay to make mistakes"

"It's okay to make mistakes"

Context guessing can help you!

Listening can be difficult!

Use your eyes!

The context of the story can help you 

to understand what is going on.

Watch this video from Romania.

Use the context (your eyes) to guess what happened.

Discuss with a partner in English

What do you think has happened?

A personal train, in which there were 30 passengers, crashed into an agricultural combine. Apparently, the vehicle is right on an unmarked railroad crossing.

Paradoxical is the fact that less than 20 meters away there is a level crossing with a signalized and equipped railway, but the only access road to the agricultural fields in the area intersects with another railway. Thus, people are forced to put their lives in danger, every day.

Context guessing can help you!

Listening can be difficult!

Focus on intonation!

The way things are said can help you 

to understand what is going on.

Listen to this audio fragment.

Focus on how things are said.

This is the audio tape from a YouTube video. 

Use the context (focus on intonation) to guess what happened.

Did you get it right?

American Kids Try Dutch Food. Your favorite kiddos survey the world one surprising plate at a time in our first season of Kids Try.

You know more than you think!

Most new information is built on old information. Context can help you remember the information that is already in your head. And that will help you understand the new information.

So don't say: "ik kan geen Engels" and then shut your ears and eyes. The information you already have in your head, in your own language, helps you to understand what is said in English.

How can you practice?

• One minute world news BBC > vergelijk nieuws
• Watch English movies > zonder ondertitels
• Listen to Podcasts > over een (on)bekend onderwerp

To finish

Please get ready to finish this lesson together.

Ss discuss the questions in pairs. When they have finished, elicit their ideas and have a brief class discussion.

Finish

I will call out the months of the year. 

If it's your month: stand up,

tell me your name, and sit down.

All English exams require that you are able to write days and months in English.
