Hi everyone I hope you are having a great weekend! When the program began, I was researching online about how a teen, Tim Doner, used technology to aid his fluency and accuracy with languages with authentic exposure. For example, the teenager in the clip uses the Internet to draw elements of blended learning before engaging in conversation with others using the foreign language he acquired. In addition, he would also elicit responses for pronunciation by posting YouTube clips of himself and then gets the feedback from native speakers in the chosen foreign language. If you are short for time to watch the whole clip, his learning strategy is in minutes 4:15 to 6:00. I hope you enjoy the clip! https://youtu.be/Km9-DiFaxpU

Great Vandana, I agree that ESL learners would have alot of fun with Kahoot! I can remember the first time I played the game when a young couple was giving a lesson on Cambodia before they went for a missionary trip to Cambodia. We branched off into five small groups as they posted slides, and it was really incredible to see the historical landmarks, history, currency, and the name of genocide leader in the 1970s, the rouge army that carried out the atrocities. You could ask me the same ten questions 2 years later and I could answer those same questions as I can recall brainstorming the ideas before our group percentage of answers came up! It was my first time playing Kahoot as a spontaneous technological game and it was fun, interesting, and memorable!
