Today's entry will be about teaching aids - FLASHCARDS.

Flashcards for learning languages are double-sided cards with a word in a foreign language on one side. They don't necessarily have to be two-sided. Flashcards are great teaching aids that I like very much! 
The English teacher can use new words to teach children, revise material, ask questions. In my opinion, flashcards are suitable for all children, starting with the youngest in kindergarten. Flashcards will also be a good teaching aid for children aged 3 and 8.
Thanks to this, children develop memory, attention and practice pronunciation. Flashcards can be used for a variety of topics for example family, items, food, vehicles, jobs. 


Here are some ways to use your flashcards:

  • memory game - the child's task is to find the same cards
  • what's missing? - we show a few cards, then take one or two and ask the child what is missing?
  • questions - we show the cards and asq questions about what is on it.
Flashcards are a great idea for learning and great fun. What's more, it is a good way that we can use it anywhere, not only in the classroom, online, but olso while travelling.

The advantages of flashcards:

  • develop memory, attention, concentration
  • better remembering words
  • learning through play
  • create good atmosphere
  • kids love it

    Disadvantages:
  • time- consuming preparation
  • wrong size can be problematic

Some examples of flashcards:

Źródło: Grafika Google   A few things about mixing languages ​​while learning English.   Hi! Recently I watched a movie where the teacher spoke Polish and English to children. I would like to present to you my opinion on this. The lesson began with a song the children knew very well. It was evident that the children were eager to sing it and made the appropriate movements. I think this song starts every English lesson in this group. By the way, an interesting way to start classes! A few words about the purpose of the lesson. I think the aim of the lesson was to consolidate the vocabulary with a song. Children willingly sang the song and performed the appropriate activities. Earlier, the teacher and the children recalled the words that were in the pictures. It was evident that during the song the teacher puts a lot of emphasis on individual words, thanks to which children will probably remember the vocabulary better. I found this part of the lesson interesting. However, I didn&#

  WEBINAR 2 – TEACHING WITHOUT COURSEBOOKS IN A PUBLIC KINDERGARTEN In the second webinar, the host showed us many coursebooks she works with. I liked the fact that it didn't show the title pictures themselves, but I could see example tasks that are included in the book. For example, she showed us the "Hello Kids" coursebook, in which there is a lot of help that we can use when teaching children. This was very helpful as it is a convenience for the teacher and not all worksheets have to be made by himself. It gave me a lot of inspiration. She showed us why it is worth using coursebooks and why not. I found it interesting that one of the downsides to using coursebooks is that most of the time the children are sitting at the tables. I had never thought before that this was actually the case. At the same time, I was not surprised by the information on: If not coursebooks, what else? The lady suggested flashcards here. I don't think it was new to me. I know this tea

  TEACHING MSP  In the first film, the teacher started the class by introducing himself, he immediately introduced a very good atmosphere. The children were very interested. The teacher then brought the children a box of surprises and the children took turns taking (fruit) out of the box. The lecturer asked the children what it was. It was great that the kids could see real objects and cards. It was evident that the children knew this vocabulary because they immediately knew the names of the fruits. Then the children recognized the fruit by the touch. This was new to me because it was the first time I saw it in movies. I like the fact that children could use not only the sense of sight but also touch to recognize the fruit. I think this video will be one of my favorites. You can see that the children are happy to repeat the vocabulary after the teacher. I also liked how the teacher linked the old vocabulary with the new one: on, in. I also really liked that the kids could experience
