Where Will The Answer Be?
Where will the answer be? Line numbers can confuse you if you aren’t careful! This video will show you which details to pay attention to! Here’s the link to the worksheet to practice what you learned. https://shorturl.at/achk6
Your job sounds so fascinating… I can’t begin to imagine teaching like this but I can see how it would bring such an amazing dimension to your whole life once you truly began to visualise everything. Really beautiful.
Thanks so much for stopping by! So glad to be in touch!
Hi Naomi, I found your blog from your comments on Anna’s. I was struck by your emphasis on visualising, perhaps because your learners are more reliant on other senses. I encourage learners to act out words. If it’s the word “stone”, I ask them to pick one up and give it to their partner for them to describe. I try to integrate the visual, kinaethetic and auditory. I’d like to introduce you to my work, since it is particularly visual, and your learners may find it useful. http://www.languagegarden.org

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll check out your site first chance I get!
Hi Naomi,
Just to say that I really like your blog and the concept of visualising ideas which I think is a 21st century literacy. I have on blog on using film in the classroom which may be of interest to you and your students as many of the activites rely on developing visual literacy or cineliteracy. Here’s the addres, I hope you find it useful:

Thanks for your suppportive comments! I have experimented with having the students answer “reading comprehension” questions about scenes from a film instead of a text and the students enjoyed it. I will certainly check you your blog!
Hi Naomi,
I just stopped by, intrigued by the your visualising, and I have to say that your blog is simply beautiful. I’ll definitely be coming back again.
Thank you SO much – means a lot to me!
I feel the same about YOUR blog – fascinating!
Hi Naomi,
the whole concept of making thinking visible is fascinating for me too. I’m working on a blog with a relevant theme. Some of the visual prompts might be of interest to you. I think that what you do with your students is great. Inventive, resourceful, inspiring, out of the box.
Best wishes

Good Evening, Naomi, I love your blog, it’s incredibly informative!! Thank you for your powerful work!
My name is Armen. I’m an English teacher/ Fulbright Scholar in Brazil. I’m working primarily in teaching English to Portuguese speakers in a University. There’s an undergraduate program starting this week for LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language), and there will be an influx of 40 deaf/hard of hearing students at my University studying in sign language to become teachers/ translators. I’d like to see how the lessons I’m doing can be catered for deaf students who know how to read and write in Portuguese, but haven’t taken any English courses yet?
Is it possible to teach them pronunciation? Or will the main goal be to show various images and words, and have students practice writing/reading skills amongst each other. As deaf students in Brazil, they’re very interested in learning more about the experience of deaf people in the U.S. So learning how to write in English would be a primary need for them, before speaking in my mind, would you agree?
What advice might you have for a teacher such as myself, who is interested in teaching and creating a course that is geared towards teaching English as a Foreign Language to students who are deaf?
I’m in the process of learning LIBRAS now, and would like to support all of my students to learn English, regardless of any disabilities, that aren’t a reflection of their authentic intelligence!
Thanks for your wonderfully intruiging blog! I’m sharing mine as well, to get any of you feedback about how to tailor any of my activities if possible???!

Thank you for your kind words Armen!
You will find an answer to some of your questions on my Q/A blog for EFL teachers teaching deaf students http://thekeyintheapple.wordpress.com/
I will send you an email.
Nice to be in touch!
All the best,
Naomi
Hii, Naomi! Your blog is amazing! There are many awesome things here, that I want to be back and read later. I’m an English and Portuguese student, and I’ll ecome a teacher in a couple years. I’m also writting a project, about teaching English for Deaf Students in public schools! Please send me a email to keep in touch with you, as soon as possible!
