Hi, I am Alice Zhang. My Chinese name is Zhang Ying. Here is the assignment I finished: http://vocaroo.com/i/s07YCXlcPJCQ

This Vocaroo recording is for my website about Uzbek-Turkish cognates. I am asking my learners to submit interesting stories about cognates.

i will ask my students to use any web we will learn this week to creat a project to introduce their family members, location(rooms in the house) and what they are doing(activities).

Asking students to comment on how they like Vocaroo
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0JJgqn0yfnb
In this task I am asking my students to use two cognates “pul” and “pora”. They have to create a story related to these cognates. They know that “pul” in Uzbek means “money” and in Turkish it means “stamp.” In contrary, in Turkish “para” means “money” and in Uzbek “pora” means “bribe.”

This is a short speaking activity/assignment that I have designed for students in the target language – Hindi. They have to answer 5 questions on what is their favourite food and why and other related questions.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0nb29apOvE7
This Vocaroo recording is an oral assignment for Chinese level II students. Students need to address ordering food and drinks in a Chinese restaurant. They have about 2-4 minutes to give more details about the food and drinks they are going to order in Mandarin.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0IbFs6R56Qz
I ask my novice students what is their favorite Chinese food based on the vocabulary words that we learned for the past 2 days.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0JJgqn0yfnb
In this task, I’m asking my students to talk about their summer vacation using the past tense in Arabic. Students will activate their newly acquired vocab talking about their favorite activities.
@abeer Great Task with lots of details!
This task is designed for my Chinese II students that returning from summer break to introduce themselves to their classmates. They need to talk about their family members, the fruits they like to eat, their hobby and their favorite sports. The time limit is no more than two minutes.
After recording their introduction, they need to send to me thru email. I will play for the whole class and make it aninterpretative activity to see if they understand what their classmates said.

Uzbek Heritage school is my dream page. Currently I can’t engage too young learners, because of many reasons, such as Internet access, or low technical background etc. However, I started my project and will keep to work on this project.

@Ridhima Did you create a movie yourself? Can we talk about it today? I liked your project a lot!
@umidahikmat
Hey Umida! Thank you so much 🙂 Ya I did create it and sure we can talk whenever you want. See you!
Finally!! http://vocaroo.com/i/s07YCXlcPJCQ
This is a task that corresponds to one of the lesson I taught in the beginner Chinese courses. I ask students to describe the pic attached and give their opinions in Chinese. This task allows students with different oral proficiencies to work on their own level.

@mcracraft I liked your my response activity a lot! Great idea-worth to steel! :))
@umidahikmat Thanks! I’m glad you like it.
This is my dream site. I am using it as a template or an exercise site for my real site. The problem I have encountered was inserting tables-I wonder if Weebly has this feature. http://bridgecourse.weebly.com/
I want to share more resources for language learning:
1. Ted Talks Translation Project: http://www.ted.com/translate/languages
2. International Children’s Library (become a translator): http://en.childrenslibrary.org/contribute/translate_signup.shtml
For thse projects teachers can become advisers and students become translators.
I want to share with everyone My Weebly website.

@mabdelrahman1 Do you have a Voki classroom? Your voice is great there-how could you do that? I recorded my sound few times, but it was very low. Did you use regular mic or used your phone to record the sound? Will be glad to hear from you.
I love this one better because I am wearing Mrs. Santa Claus costume.

Hello!
Here is my Movie that I created using the Windows Movie Maker. The task for my students would be to collect images from the museum about Islamic Art, use the “Caption” function to write and learn new vocabulary referring the different materials of these artifacts (porcelain, metal, glass..etc.) in Arabic, and upload an Arabic track for the movie. This task is so much fun!

Hi this is the prezi I created for major cities in China. I think it’s better than PowerPoint.

Above is the link of my weebly.
Thehome part is a video we used Flip camera to make last week.
From the second tub is my this session’s topic- family, which includes family members,house rooms, activities. I think based on the theme, teachers can also add clothes. colors, etc.
My scenario is I am gonna use all the technologies to do a unit-end assessment. Students will choose one technology we learned to make a project to show that they have mastered the content in the unit.
Photo Peach—-I will first help students to review what we have learned, I use photo peach to ask students what are these family members and what are they doing, I show 2 sides with quiz question and 3 choices. give students 5 secs to think about it, after that , we will review the names of activities. after 2 sides, I finish reviewing all the names and the next 3 sides students will answer without choices in sentences.
Tagxedo—– for this part, I make the tagxedo in the shape of house, which match the topic of family. I will let students find the words combined different characters and also, students will try to make as many as sentences they can with all the characters they find in the tagxedo. besides that, teachers can also let students to find the correct match if teachers put both English and Chinese together. or teacher can put some ket words and let students to make conversation based on the key words.
Family project– in this part , i give students the assignment that they will choose one technology to make a project, I establish a voxopop and students can practice their speaking in it if they want me to listen to their practice before they actually show their project.
To make sure students better understand the requirements of the project, I show students three sample projects and I will also give them a rubric. based on the rubric , we will go over all the three sample projects, and let them give the grades so that students will have a better idea how they should do the project and what the content they should include.
Prezi, brainshark and voki,—I include these 3 sample projects.students can choose the one they like. If they feel comfortable to stand in front of the classroom, they can make a prezi and do an oral presentation. if they prefer to show the project with voice record, this will be their options.
I created a weebly that I put the applications I learned here at NOVASTARTALK. I will teach my advanced Chinese students four Chinese instruments. I will ask them to use different applications to practice listening, speaking, reading and writing. They will create their own project to compare and discuss the differences and similarities between Chinese and western instruments.
Here is the link of my weebly – “edmondchinese.weebly.com”
Please give me any suggestions and comments you have for me.

And here is the link of the song (Welcome to Beijing) everyone likes:
I could not find any version with English subtitles right now. This is the best I could get with Pinyin (Chinese sound system) on the top.
Hope you enjoy it~

Above is my weebly webpage. I will use the video to teach the culture and the sentence structure “I want to buy in China/America”. Under “Links” you will watch two videos made by using Photopeach, and an image produced through Tagxedo. They were created for learning and reviewing vocabulary.
I wish you all a safe trip to home.
This is another Voki that I created. I miss my class already! Hope you all have a nice summer!
