运用office lens让课本“说话”

上次博文提到“语音辨识和即席翻译技术对中文教育的影响”之后,最近就看到这个非常有用的教学工具。学生一旦有了这个App,就能够自己练习听力。从学生自己产生自己的句子(speaking/production),用电脑打出(practising pinyin/reading),经过老师修改(feedback),到印出文本(reading),再用Office Lens练习(自己作品)的听力(listening)。这是一个非常有效的语言学习方式。

边唱边学:《老鼠爱大米》- 一首适合非母语组高中生的歌曲

边唱边学: 一般来说,爱情歌曲并不适合作为教材,因为情境可能过于狭隘,歌词可能有所限制,但这首《老鼠爱大米》倒还算不错的选择。除了一些日常生活中常用的单词之外(如‘听见’、‘特别’、‘不敢’、‘理想’、‘实现’等),还包括一些实用或重要的词语,如‘让‘、’如果‘、‘不管’、‘一定...
