Some students need a little extra help understanding what
they are reading. Anyone at some point
in time will come across a word that they don't know or understand. "Advanced" dictionary will not only look up the
definition of a word for everybody but will give them a sentence containing the word
and let them hear how the word sounds.
One of the more common problems for students with reading
disabilities is keeping track of where they are on the page. Some students find themselves jumping up and
down and across the page, and getting lost trying to read a standard book. "Advanced" dictionary allows them to have the book presented
only one sentence at a time. This allows them to remove all the distracting content of the book and read much more
consistently. "Advanced" dictionary will scroll the text
in and out of the visible area as the speech reads out loud to them. My students use "Advanced" dictionary in cellphone.

Hello Mohammad,
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks great. It may be difficult for your course mates to comment as it isn't in English, though. The blog instructional handout has information about changing your blog to English.
Happy blogging!

Effective Method of Teaching English:
ReplyDeleteEnglish is rightly addressed as an international language for its dynamic influence over the countries of the world. In the perspective of Globalization, the importance of English in much more than the previous period. English has achieved the status of a global language as it is the first language of many countries of the world and simultaneously the second language of most other countries. In order to communicate with the people of the outer world, English is mostly used as the number one language. Most educated people of the world, whose first language is not English, learn it as the second language with a view to using it practically when necessary. In theory, English is also treated as a second language of our country but most people here are not capable of using it effectively.

TRANSFORMING ENGLISH FROM FOREIGN TO SECOND LANGUAGE.
ReplyDeleteEnglish is believed to be second language for many countries of the world of which it is not the first language but very unfortunately it is absolutely a foreign language for most of the people in our country and that is why, it has not been so usual in practice in our daily conversation. It is true that students of our country read English only as second language next to our mother tongue but they are not habituated in using it. Statistics show about 350 million people speak English as a first language and another 300 million use it as a second language. From this we can say that we need to learn English to join the advanced and developed world. Then we can say that English is a passport to a successful future.

Salam alikum Mohammad,
ReplyDeleteI went through your post and I think you may wish to check this: http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/ It's a very helpful application and one of its features is that your students can use a reading bar that highlights the line they're reading. Try it out.
good luck

SERVICE RENDERED BY THE STUDENTS
ReplyDeleteMan has three duties, duty towards God, duty towards parents and duty towards mankind. So students have certain duties to the society in which they live in. Students of our country can give free service in different spheres of our national life. Most of the people of our country are illiterate. Students can open night schools and teach the illiterate people. They can remove illiteracy from our country.
Students’ service is necessary in the field of our national health. Female students can teach the uneducated women how to keep their houses neat and clean, how to bring up children and look after their health.
Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Her prosperity depends on agriculture. But the farmers of our country are illiterate. They have no knowledge about scientific method of cultivation. In this case students can teach the illiterate farmers.
Bangladesh is an over populated country. Most of the village people of our country are illiterate. They are also superstitious. They have no knowledge about family planning. They are unwilling to accept family planning. In this regard, students can render a good social service. They can explain to the illiterate village people the need for adopting family planning.
During floods and cyclones, famine students stand by the affected people. Students beg money from the rich, raise funds, save the affected people, feed the hungry, nurse the sick and cloth the naked.
During epidemic medical students and other students may serve the sick with proper food, cloth, medicine and other necessary things.
Students are the servants of society. They are the makers of society. They are the soldiers of social peace. They should serve society without any selfish motive.
