An application that can improve the vocabulary of the teacher's class: Knoword

-

As a future teacher candidate, I will try to teach English to my students with useful activities. But for that, I think I need to integrate technology into my classes. So I would like to introduce you to this extremely useful application. Its name is Knoword.
Knoword is a tool for users to discover and broaden their language skills and spelling skills. It's a game where you type words by default.
There have been three degrees of difficulties from which to choose. (Easy, moderate and hard.)





Users are originally given the concept and the first letter of the phrase. Users were told to suggest a term for it. Points are earned when the term is correctly predicted. When you don't remember, you could miss the word (through the ESC or skip key), when you add another second until you hit 5 consecutively, you might see a screen with different letters indicating the next letter of your word.

There is, on the other side, a portal that is beneficial for me. You might build a category and incorporate items that suit your class's tier or age group.


Also, if you don't know the Knoword, here is a tutorial video about the Knoword. Click on the link to watch the video:

Students have difficulty with this problem from my experiences because they are afraid to describe it. I care about it as a prospective future teacher. On the other hand, the visual communication abilities of the students are enhanced thanks to the posters prepared and the color of the classroom catches the students ' attention. Colorful stuff catches most people's attention, so it's a good way to use them to teach. Sometimes, reading an ar...

My Tandem App Experience

I was searching for a leisure activity for myself last summer. Because I was so worried about sitting idle at home and I wanted to improve my English skills. I didn't think my English speaking skills were good enough, in particular, so I wanted to do some research to address this issue. First of all, without subtitles, I began watching films and tried to understand the conversations in the film. I'd say this practice strengthened my speaking abilities, but I was tired of watching movies after a while.  While searching for the app store, an app grabbed my attention. This application's name was tandem, enabling language change. For example, you chat with people with that language when you select the targeted language, and the other person learns your mother tongue. I have tried several language learning applications, but none of them have a technical and decent setting like Tandem. Every day I had the opportunity to experience different words a...
