Wiki: 6th grade remedial work
Teacher:Teresa Almeida d'Eça(you can contact me at tmvaz-at-mail-dot-telepac-dot-pt) School: Escola de Sto Antonio - Parede, Portugal Description: This wiki was created in Mar. 2008 as an attempt to provide "remedial" work to students in their second year EFL (English as a Foreign Language) who were (falling) behind, having difficulty in keeping up with classwork and facing the prospect of failing English. My idea was to create different kinds of exercises based on texts in their textbook and on audio files that come with the textbook, always based on units that we had covered previously in class. I created: I tried to cover three of the four basic skills. Speaking was the only one they didn't get practice in. Several students used the wiki and it helped a few students recover. It was a worthwhile and very gratifying experience that can be adpated to any grade level and to other subject areas.
 * reading comprehension exercises, some involving a short answer that they had to write online. I would then correct it and give feedback about their mistakes in the wiki, as well as the final score;
 * vocabulary and grammar exercises with the correct answers and feedback whenever they made a wrong choice to help them think again and correct themselves; and,
 * listening exercises.
