Web 2.0 Tools for IELTS Speaking
and Writing Success
IATEFL Brighton 2011
Our context
I’ve never thought about this before in my life
What’s the point of doing this?
This is really boring
Can’t we do this another day?
I hate writing. Can’t we just talk about this?
In my present state of mind, writing is the last thing I want to do
I’m only 16. You are wasting my time
In small groups,
How do you engage your IELTS students?
Benefits of Web 2.0
Internet-based projects “encourage(s) critical thinking skills. Learners are not required to simply regurgitate information they find, but have to transform that information in order to achieve a given task.”
