Teaching Aids: 4 skills

Here comes another task....As we are learning to use and develop resources for the ESL classroom, Mdm Foziah has given us a task on preparing the teaching aids to be used in the lesson. The task required us to design teaching aids to teach the 4 skills in language learning which are listening, speaking, reading and writing. This is the time for us to apply what we have learnt earlier in this course such as photo editing, audio editing, video editing, internet skills, and e-book.
After going trough discussion, my group members and I had decided to choose Year 3 topic which is "My Neighbourhood". I was assigned to design teaching aids to be used to teach speaking skill. To get started is my problem..No idea comes into mind. I keep on thinking on what kind of teaching aid that I can produce for teaching speaking?? Is it suitable to the target learners? How to make it interesting? Think and think..Finally, I decided to create PowerPoint slideshows as a teaching aid used in pre-speaking stage.
The slideshows contain of pictures of building around the neighbourhood such as school, hospital, bank and etc. I write the spelling of the words since the target students is Year 3 students with low level of language proficiency. So, they can spell the words and remember better. My activity aims to help students to talk which they are required to response to the 'Wh' questions posed by the teacher regarding the places. As the level of students' proficiency is low, they can respond to the question in short answer / single word.

Finally, it was done.Hope it will be useful.

p/s: Anybody knows how to put powerpoint slideshows in blog??
