No, there is free material online to help with language and other subjects. As a teacher I would figure out which is the best site and advise the children to use it.
www.openculture.com
www.ixl.com
There are many sites available to help. Please don't advise kids to watch television, its not the best route for kids to learn. Maybe adults but not kids.
Language learning is interactive and best achieved if its a guided activity.
Clearly indicate the objectives of the language activity. so students know what to expect.
If you intend to develop phonetic or articulation skills, select movie clippings or songs can be played in class to help students comprehend the use of vowel or consonant sounds. This will also help hone their listening skills and improve their diction & speech.
We should take it serious while teaching English Language that language is never a modicum for teaching. Language can never be taught it is introduced and when you introduce it you should follow its programs in integrative way . It goes introducing through English Phone , para language, semantics , and syntax. Once you have introduced them all about these bases , students come up in a cultural way feeling English like their mother tongue. Naturally they are switched on to speak out English, and now they will be habitual speakers like natives, because language is a habit.
Some times yes I do.
As a teacher i say no until I experienced this in my own life.And i have experienced this more than one time.As giving a nts paper i found a word which i have not studied first and i have to tell the synonym of that word.I found myself in trouble but at that time i remember a English movie in which this word was used and also by the action its meaning was declare.so I could answer my question.and I have also face this in another place where a video game help me.may be my answer not justify my opinion but i can say that when you observe a thing deeply you can seek something.
Yes, with guid to what they watch and listen it. I would prefer news because the slang language is rarely used
Sure, this is what I tell then all the time - watch movies, liste to songs with texts at hand, read news and books
yeah as a teacher i will prefer movies but except vulgur movies
I would recommend good movies or good music some people they learn more from movies or music and I would recommend reading books too
Yes, the use of music has become one of the most important means to stimulate the hearing and memory as the films can add new vocabulary tarnished from the culture of the individual
