I like this jigsaw activity very much. This is a cooperative game. At the very beginning of this class, we were divided into four groups, and each group was essential for the completion of a piece of IPA transcription which was assigned. We worked in our group first, and latter on, all of us were brought back to discuss and worked together as a whole team. Each group depended on all the other groups. It is definitely a good teaching technique which I can adopt and apply in my future classroom.
I agree with you LIlian, Jigsaw is a very good activity to involve all the students and practice their interpratation skills as well as their presentation skills at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun doing the IPA activity! It's like solving a puzzle with others.
ReplyDeleteLeping, did you find the activity difficult since you said you struggle with the IPA symbols? Or did it help you to work with others?
