Using Voice Thread in L2 Class

In this mod, I have chosen Miao’s and Sugar’s voice thread for using, because they have a clear instruction in directing and one thing is more important is that both of them used the resource from students’ daily life. That could activate students’ motivation and lead the student to think.

From this course, I have learnt using a lot of tools of teaching and the voice thread is one of my favorite one. It solved a problem that the students could not communicate with others with their own voice after class in traditional teaching environment. There is a big difference between communicating in words and speech. The later one have a characteristic of immediacy, it could train not only the students’ speaking system but also their thinking system. For L2 learners, speaking out could also practice their mental quality and response speed, that’s what the writing down could not give to them.
