What is DOGME? DOGME is teacher-driven method that focuses on allowing teachers to have more autonomy and creativity in their teaching practices. It prioritizes student-centred, authentic learning experiences over a pre-determined curriculum and emphasizes a supportive classroom environment. It has its roots in an article by the language education author, Scott Thornbury. #DOGME #DOGMETeachingMethod #ScottThornbury In the Teaching Methodology Exposed series, we take a look at notable language-teaching methods which have influenced us and wider education. We, as educational professionals, explain the history and rationale behind these methodologies and analyze a real class example to better weigh each method's pros and cons as an effective teaching approach. __________________________________________________________________________________ Video Chapters: Introduction: 0:00 DOGME Explanation: 0:00 DOGME Approach: 0:00 DOGME Class Example & Break Down: 0:00 DOGME Analysis: 0:00 __________________________________________________________________________________ Recommended materials on DOGME: https://amzn.to/3A9v3Rb __________________________________________________________________________________ Check out more: ✔ Teacher Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXsBOoTKZz76OWuCuYZnCQRJfjWtrTrKC ✔ Explanation, Analysis & Example of Teaching Methods here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXsBOoTKZz75i6auCa17LUt2k_JAOQLkr ✔ Break downs of teaching clips: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXsBOoTKZz76j2wD3P4mhM0gv5axBtzE2 ✔ Influential teachers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXsBOoTKZz763iqyfVUEV3qG4ktuVkepc __________________________________________________________________________________ Stay connected with us on other mediums: LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/elt-under-the-covers-b72928229/ Instagram ►https://www.instagram.com/eltunderthecovers/ Facebook ► https://m.facebook.com/ELTunderthecovers/ Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/show/05KdfLjVuDyrDpytIX5yrS Amazon Music ► https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/69201c0b-5381-4b06-9168-afb957608494/english-language-teachers-elt-under-the-covers---interview-series Apple Podcasts ► https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/english-language-teachers-elt-under-the-covers-interview-series/id1599657312 Google Podcasts ► https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80MjdmN2M4MC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw== __________________________________________________________________________________ More from ProfesorRich: • https://www.youtube.com/user/ProfesorRich • ProfRichGaming = https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6I_bfShcpI3Af3a79vORDw More from NeilTEAcher: • www.teamteacherchina.com • TeamTeacherChina = https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY0VJKjaIamETXCm_alT_tg • TeamTeacherBaby = https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChdVmSne_UvHFdd7uA-SMAQ • TeamTeacherEnglish = https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_7K_Ml4XfdNdY9uQ9LPPqw *This video contains affiliate links.

Our attention in Episode 3 turns to the classroom, exploring what teaching and learning methods can effectively address the climate crisis. Scott Thornbury charts the history of ‘green pedagogy', discussing what kind of teaching approaches are not only effective for language teaching, but are also climate positive. The importance of the outside world inside the classroom is also the theme of From the Field, where we visit Voice in Nature English. This school, situated in China's Yunnan province, inspires its students to use the natural world as a stimulus for language learning. In our second interview, Kieran Donaghy investigates the use of the visual in climate-related ELT materials, and Ceri Jones talks more generally about how ELT Footprint are trying to mainstream climate messages in language teaching. The Green Glossary focuses on the word ‘ecocide', which has a longer history than you might imagine, and how prefixes and suffixes can be used for language awareness and development.

TalKCDL is the Number One Trucking Podcast on planet Earth. This isn't just our claim but yours also.Trucker Talks About His Rollover. We recently spoke with a truck driver that was involved in a rollover. The year was 1991 and Scott Thornbury would be in a life changing accident. Scott would be involved in what truckers call a 'rollover". A rollover is when a semi truck is turned on its side or up side down. it is a violent accident and it is considered one of the worse accident a semi truck can be involved in. Causes Trucker Talks About His Rollover. There are many reasons that cause a rollover. A trucker can take a turn too fast, a load can shift, a shipper can load a trailer wrong, a tire can blow and cause a rollover, a tire can catch a low shoulder causing a driver to over-correct his truck, there are many causes but the most common reason for a rollover is off and on ramps. It happens numerous times in. year, a truck driver approaches an off ramp too fast and lays it down. This is why the rule of thumb is keep your rig at half the posted speed when approaching on and off ramps. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3256782/http://talkcdl.com/negligence-trucking-insurance/http://talkcdl.com/trucking-company-buys-trucking-company/http://talkcdl.com/when-a-trucker-kills/http://talkcdl.com/trucker-sleeper-birth-pay/http://talkcdl.com/how-cell-phone-tickets-effect-truckers/http://talkcdl.com/trucking-the-bloodsucking-lawyers/ TalkCDL is looking for singers If you are a singer and have a song about trucking we would like to showcase it.

I've recently joined the fantastic professional development group run by Tamara Parsons of ELT.Training, you can join and get involved here. One of the issues that language teachers seem to repeatedly bring up is lesson planning and timing, how to get it right and what approaches exist. In this episode I'll talk about staying flexible, using TTT / PPP to hit your objectives, and some fundamental things you can do to improve your way of planning and executing your lessons.

Recently I had the pleasure of talking to Scott Thornbury, a giant in the world of English language teaching. He is a teacher, teacher trainer, award-winning author, and speaker, and he has been pushing for change in the way we teach languages for more than 20 years. We spoke about many different aspects of language teaching and learning, especially what teachers can do differently in the classroom and the importance of social learning. I hope you enjoy it.

LYE's Leo and Andrew jumped across the atlantic recently to attend the annual ELT conference at International House, Barcelona. Teacher Talking Time is happy to present a mini series chronicling their travels, the conference, and all teaching related (and some non-teaching related) takeaways from the journey. The final installment looks at Scott Thornbury's plenary on a performance-based approach to language teaching. Mike, Leo, and Andrew ponder the differences between competence and performance, or, as Chomsky says, the difference between "knowing" about a language and the ability to put it in to use. The guys then discuss if it's important for teachers to distinguish between the two, and what impact that has - or should have - on the classroom. They also wonder why many curriculum and syllabi do not focus much on performance (as Thornbury defines it) and what the implications of that are.  This episode also includes some interviews with teachers and soundbites of speakers from the International House Conference. It ends with the boys answering rapid fire questions on re-thinking the use of performance in the classroom and perhaps why the industry has strayed slightly - and, of course, how to get back on track.  As always, thank you for listening.
