back to their schools and use with their own students.

გაკვეთილები დაფუძნებულია Macmillan Education-ის სახელძღვანელოებზე, რომელიც დამუშავდა და ადაპტირდა „ტელესკოლის“ პროექტისთვის.
გაკვეთილების დაგეგმვაში ჩართული არიან
როგორც ქართველი, ასევე ინგლისურენოვანი მასწავლებლები. მათ შესახებ დამატებითი ინფორმაციის
სანახავად მიჰყვეთ ბმულს:
მიმდინარე სასწავლო წელს გარდა წიგნის კლუბის გაკვეთილებისა, „ტელესკოლას“ ემატება სხვადასხვა ასაკზე, ინტერესებზე და ცოდნაზე მორგებული გაკვეთილები. აღსანიშნავია ის ფაქტი, რომ ყველა გაკვეთილი დაიგეგმა English Book Education-ისა და Macmillan Education-ის ერთობლივი მუშაობის საფუძველზე.
დაწყებითი კლასები
ინგლისური ენის კურსი დაწყებითი საფეხურისთვის
მოიცავს I-III კლასისთვის გათვალისწინებულ პროგრამას. კურსს გაუძღვება ქართველი და
ინგლისურენოვანი მასწავლებელი. გაკვეთილებზე გამოყენებულია ასაკისთვის შესაბამისი თვალსაჩინო
მასალა, სიმღერები და სხვადასხვა სახალისო აქტივობა. სწავლის დროს მსმენელები გაეცნობიან
ანბანს, ფერებს, ციფრებს, წელიწადის დროებს და სხვა.
ზოგადი ინგლისური
ზოგადი ინგლისურის კურსი განკუთვნილია
მათთვის, ვისაც აქვს გარკვეული ცოდნა ინგლისურ ენაში და უნდა მისი გაღრმავება. კურსი
მოიცავს ორ დონეს: A1+ და A2 საერთო ევროპული სარეფერენციო ჩარჩოს (CEFR) მიხედვით.
თითოეულ გაკვეთილს გაუძღვება როგორც ქართველი, ასევე ინგლისურენოვანი მასწავლებელი. კურსი შესაძლებლობას აძლევს მსმენელს
განივითაროს მოსმენის, კითხვი და წერის უნარები. ამავედროს, მას საშუალება აქვს სახლში
დამოუკიდებლად მუშაობისას იხელმძღვანელოს მასწავლებლების მიერ ნაჩვენები ნიმუშით და
განივითაროს საუბრის უნარი.
English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
კურსი ‘ინგლისური პროფესიული მიზნებისთვის’
მოიცავს საერთო ევროპული სარეფერენციო ჩარჩოს (CEFR) შესაბამის 2 დონეს: A2 და B1.
ამ შემთხვევაში თითოეულ დონეს გაუძღვება სხვადასხვა ქართველი და ინგლისურენოვანი მასწავლებელი.
კურსი დაიწყება A2 დონით და 16 გაკვეთილის შემდეგ გაგრძელდება B1 დონით. ამ შემთხვევაში მსმენელებს საშუალება აქვთ გაეცნონ თემებს სხვადასხვა სფეროდან, როგორიცაა ბიზნესი, მედია, ფსიქოლოგია, ტურიზმი, არქიტექტურა, მედიცინა, ინჟინერია, ტექნოლოგია, სოციოლოგია, ეკოლოგია და კულინარია.
თითოეულ გაკვეთილზე მსმენელები:
შეისწავლიან სხვადასხვა თემასთან დაკავშირებულ ლექსიკას;
წაიკითხავენ ტექსტს და შეასრულებენ შესაბამის დავალებებს;
წაკითხული ტექსტის კონტექსტში შეისწავლიან გრამატიკას;
განივითარებენ მოსმენის უნარს;
შეასრულებენ დავალებებს მოცემული მაგალითების მიხედვით.
Book Club
წიგნის კლუბის პროექტი წარმოადგენს
ლიტერატურის გაკვეთილებს ინგლისურ ენაზე, რომლის მიზანია ბრიტანული და ამერიკული ლიტერატურის
განხილვასთან ერთად ენობრივი კომპეტენციების განვითარება და ინგლისურ ენაზე აზროვნების
ხელშეწყობა. კურსს უძღვება როგორც ქართველი, ასევე ინგლისურენოვანი მასწავლებელი.
თითოეულ გაკვეთილზე ლიტერატურული ნაწარმოების
ირგვლივ განიხილება:
ავტორის ბიოგრაფია;
ნაწარმოების შექმნის ისტორია და მისი ღირებულება;
ნაწარმოების შინაარსი და სიუჟეტი;
პერსონაჟები და მათი თვისებები;
ნაწარმოებში განხილული საკვანძო თემები.
გაკვეთილზე მსმენელები ასევე იმდიდრებენ ლექსიკურ მარაგს და ასრულებენ დავალებას. აღსანიშნავია, რომ შეხვედრებში მონაწილეობს აუდიტორიაც, რომელიც აქტიურად ერთვება დისკუსიაში და სვამს კითხვებს განხილული ლიტერატურის ირგვლივ.
English Book Education-ის, Macmillan Education-ისა და საქართველოს განათლების,
მეცნიერების, კულტურისა და სპორტის სამინისტროს მიზანია მიმდინარე აკადემიური წელი
იყოს გამორჩეული, ინოვაციური და მრავალფეროვანი.
გვჯერა, რომ ინგლისური ენის სწავლის
პროცესი ყველასთვის საინტერესო და სასურველი იქნება.
ჩვენ მოგიმზადეთ ძალიან ბევრი რესურსი რომელიც შეგიძლიათ რომ გამოიყენოთ საკლასო ოთახში და მის გარეთ.

The internet offers a lot of possibility for expanding the horizons of teaching. That said, a lot of discussion forums end up being empty of life. How can teachers help nurture interaction?
Set rules for engagement
It’s always a good call to have some basic rules of behavior, “netiquette”, in other words. Here’s a sample.
Respect the opinions and views of other people in the forum.
Use names when you quote someone.
Do not insult anyone in the forum or use rude language.
If you don’t understand something, ask the person to explain it in a different way.
Don’t type in all caps.
If you have a problem with a user, inform a teacher.
2) Use names
Naming participants in your interactions helps them feel included, which is important for communication. If you know that your name is mentioned, you may be inclined to comment.
3) Lead by example and give praise
Make sure to participate in a lot of conversations yourself, setting an example for everyone else. Also, don’t forget to thank students for their contributions! That is great motivation.

Jonathan “Jony Wilkinson”, the English rugby national team captain who drove his teams to victory in the 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cup finals, shared some tips for learning a new language with Lauren Ward, a journalist at The Cambridge University Press. His own experience comes from transferring to Toulon in 2009, where he started learning French.
He says that his motivation for learning a new language was that “not knowing a language is an enormous limitation when expressing and sharing experiences”. He suggests to “get in amongst it and throw your best efforts” if you want to do the same. “For me, learning is not about remembering but about investing, experiencing and committing way beyond any type of fear or making mistakes. Keep hold of your excitement and passion. Don’t make it about right and wrong. It’s your energy and internal state that will create momentum”, he adds.
“From Toulon with love…”, Lauren Ward. Cambridge University Press, 5 April, 2017, P8
Many teachers hesitate to interrupt students in order to correct their grammar or pronunciation, as they feel that this could make them self-conscious. Thankfully, videos provide a great way of correcting errors without having to break the flow of a presentation of a conversation. You can always rewatch the recording and pause at the error. You can even get students to watch the video themselves and try to find errors.
2) Teach tenses
Another great idea is to use videos to practice tenses. Stop a video and ask students to guess what will happen next. They will have to use the future tense! Or you could practice present perfect by only playing audio and asking your students “what has he done?”.
3) Use digital tools to build learner autonomy
You could also try getting your students to make their own videos to help them become more independent. You could use iMovie, Shadow Puppet or WeVideo.
4) Give students a reason…and an audience!
Videos give students a reason to use English, which they can also share afterwards. So, you could make a music “festival” where students can share their films.
5) Create a sense of progress
Using videos can be great for showing progress. Watching a video from a month ago, students can notice errors that they no longer make, which will motivate them a great deal.
