а вот несколько цитат: "The only real mistake is the one from which you don't learn." "You may never make a discovery, if you're afraid to make a mistake."
* Design a budget proposal: If you are going to exceed your allotted classroom supplies budget, don’t barge into the principal’s office demanding more money. Draw up a sensible budget explaining why you’d like certain supplies and how your students will benefit. * Be resourceful: If you aren’t getting much help financially or artistically to decorate your room, go with what you already have or can easily get. To create a seasonal bulletin board, pick up colorful fall leaves from outside to hang up. Complete a recycled art project from everyday household items if you’re strapped for supplies cash. * Get students to help: If you feel too overwhelmed with grading and lesson plans to stay late and finish up your classroom, have trustworthy students help you out during their off periods or when you don’t have much going on. They can hang up posters, take down an old bulletin board or cut out designs from construction paper. * Make it a class effort: Decorate your room with materials from class projects, or make it part of your lesson plan to design the room based on a unit from your textbook. * Open the windows: For a quick fix, open up your blinds and the windows to introduce new light and fresh air. * Get a plant: Plants boost your mood and improve your health by helping remove toxins from the air. * Rearrange the desks every once in a while: Switching around the furniture keeps things interesting and changes the dynamic of the entire room. * Give yourself privacy, but not too much: Set your desk enough away from your students so that you have some privacy, but not so much that you can’t monitor everything that goes on in your room. * Incorporate team spirit: Show your students that you care about their clubs and athletic teams by hanging up a school flag or banner. * Inspirational posters: Hang up funny, educational or inspirational posters as a decoration and to deliver a message. * Put up class pictures: Take pictures of your students and hang them up around the room to show them you’re proud. * Post a word of the day or joke of the day on your door to generate a discussion. * Free stuff: Check out this list of teacher freebies that you can use to decorate your classroom. * Keep everything neat: Loads of clutter will distract your students and make you feel irritable. * Decorate with college material: Encourage your older students to go to college by putting up college flags or other souvenirs around your room. * Don’t overdo it: Don’t give your students information overload by covering up every bit of empty space with decorations. Pick your favorites and alternate them according to season or unit. * Set up a comfortable corner: Bring in a couch or comfy chair for reading or quiet class work. * Get a class pet: If you think you and your students can handle the responsibility, get a class pet to add some excitement and life into the room. * Grow a garden: Teachers with outside entrances can plant a small class garden outside their door. If you don’t have outside access, explore container gardening to grow colorful flowers or vegetables. * Color according to mood: Paint your room a color that is conducive to learning, focus, energy or peace to bring out these qualities in yourself and your students. * Feng shui: Consider implementing some of the principles of feng shui to promote energy in your room. * Keep it neutral: Don’t plaster your room with political or religious statements that may offend some students. * Enlighten your students: On the other hand, don’t be afraid to introduce new ideas or cultures to your students by putting up posters that reflect different cultures and respect for diversity. * Have a calendar for birthdays: Keep track of your students’ birthdays by letting them mark their special day each month. * Listen to your students: Ask your students which parts of the classroom they like best and welcome their decorating suggestions.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОЕ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ КАБИНЕТА ПРИ ОБУЧЕНИИ ИНОСТРАННЫМ ЯЗЫКАМ
Обучение иностранному языку требует особых условий. На уроках используется огромное количество наглядных пособий. Учителя используют картинки, таблицы, игрушки, различные предметы. На каждом уроке необходим раздаточный материал для индивидуальной, парной и групповой работы. При изучении иноязычной культуры невозможно обойтись без географических карт и глобуса. В классе обязательно должны быть словари. Необходимы также магнитная доска и технические средства обучения, такие как магнитофон и видео. Мечта каждого учителя установить в классе компьютер с выходом в интернет и интерактивную доску. В данной статье я не буду касаться вопросов содержания вспомогательных учебных материалов. Мне хотелось бы остановиться подробнее на вопросах более эффективного использования класса, создания соответствующего окружения. Как должен выглядеть кабинет иностранного языка? Какое оформление наиболее соответствует изучаемому предмету? Как можно использовать обстановку кабинета для создания благоприятной окружающей среды? Изучение иностранного языка является одновременно изучением иноязычной культуры. Особый акцент делается на то, как люди в странах изучаемого языка живут, общаются, изучаются их традиции, обычаи и история. Мостиком к культуре Великобритании и США в моем кабинете служит камин. Он создает особую ауру в классе. К Рождеству мы вешаем на него чулки для подарков от Санта Клауса. На камине «строим» зимний городок.
Сменный стенд рядом с камином посвящен англо-говорящим странам. Дети с интересом рассматривают фотографии, картинки и читают статьи.
Ученики ценят такую обстановку, доказательством чему служит следующее обращение выпускников 2005 года, подаренное мне в красивой рамке. Я не могла не повесить его на стену между камином и стендом.
Изучая культуру других народов, мы становимся богаче. Я знакомлю учеников с традициями праздников англо-говорящих стран. Я уверена, что это сближает наши народы, помогает нашим детям стать толерантными, воспитывает в них уважение к людям всех наций. К праздникам мы оформляем класс в соответствии с традициями страны. Поскольку кабинет маленький, я использую дверь для оформления и выставок американских открыток, которые я получаю от американской подруги по переписке, учителя русского языка в городе Альбукерке (штат Нью-Мексико). Мы ведем переписку с 1993 года. О веселом празднике Хэллоуин сейчас в России знают все. Каждый год в конце первой четверти мы делаем фонарь из тыквы и оформляем класс в духе нечистой силы. Детям очень нравится, когда учителя приходят в этот день в школу в соответствующих костюмах.
В ноябре мы знакомимся с традициями празднования американского Дня Благодарения, в декабре – с Рождеством, которое перекликается с российским Новым годом, и класс приобретает самое яркое и пышное оформление. День Святого Валентина в феврале способствует укреплению дружеских отношений между детьми, как в классах, так и в школе. Главный символ этого праздника – сердце.
Менее известен в Росси ирландский праздник День Святого Патрика, покровителя Ирландии, который стал также национальным праздником в Соединенных Штатах. Символ Ирландии Трилистник и зеленый цвет являются главными украшениями в этот мартовский день.
Пасха знаменует начало весны. Как и в России, символом этого праздника является яйцо, но еще кролик, цыпленок и пасхальная булочка.
К сожалению, мы имеем только три урока иностранного языка в неделю. Это очень мало при отсутствии языковой среды. Чтобы снять у детей некоторые затруднения на уроках, я украсила класс фразами, необходимыми для ведения урока. Над доской у нас «летят» воздушные шарики, на которых написаны подсказки – вопросительные слова, и «расцвел» цветок с разноцветными лепестками, чтобы напоминать учащимся названия цвета. Алфавит над доской вышит крестиком моими выпускниками, где каждый из них вышивал свою букву.
Поощрительные фразы на задней стене подсказка скорее для учителя, чтобы не забывать почаще хвалить учеников.
Таблицу со знаками транскрипции и картинками я расположила за стеклянными дверцами шкафов, а флаги англо-говорящих стран сверху.
Дверцы шкафов служат постоянной экспозицией для проектов и постеров. Мы проводим конкурсы на лучшее оформление проектов. Например, ученики вторых и седьмых классов выбирают наиболее понравившийся проект одиннадцатиклассников и наклеивают на него стикер, отдавая свой голос «за». Одиннадцатиклассники в свою очередь оценивают проекты других параллелей.
Первый проект второклассников – шарики с их именами, висят под потолком класса. Кроме того, что это вызывает у детей чувство гордости и является подсказкой на случай, если дети забудут, как писать свое имя.
Я уверена, что существует много иных возможностей использования кабинета для создания положительного отношения детей к учению. Надеюсь, что у меня появятся новые идеи, которые можно будет воплотить. Последняя идея – создать ситуативную обстановку для учащихся вторых классов, которые начнут изучать английский язык по новому УМК «Brilliant». Действие в этом учебнике разворачивается на острове. Поэтому по обе стороны доски в классе «выросли» могучие деревья. И второклассники напишут свои имена на зеленых листьях, которые будут «расти» на этих деревьях.
Кроме практической ценности оформления кабинета, необходимо сделать его просто теплым, уютным и удивляющим детей. Я постаралась превратить класс в зимний сад, где цветут цветы и созревают гранаты.
Такие мелочи, как виноград, смородина, огурчики, растущие на лианах, китайская «музыка ветра», до которой надо обязательно дотронуться, выходя из класса, домики на камине, милые и смешные игрушки, бабочки на стенах, создают особую обстановку, которая помогает детям быть более свободными и раскованными, что необходимо при обучении иностранным языкам.
Taking into consideration the pupils' young age the quotations in the classroom, to my mind, should be clear to the most of the pupils or nevertheless easy to translate if they are in English. But if there are only English quotations, the pupils may ignore them, because they may seem too incomprehensible to them. So I think, it would be better to use both English and Russian quotations, so the pupils will read the Russian ones and it will become interesting for them, how the other quotations are translated.
Here are some possible examples, which seem to me suitable: IN RUSSIAN: 1. «Жизнь требует движения» (Аристотель) 2. «Люди, поверьте мне, не рождаются, а формируются.» (Эразм Роттердамский) 3. «Надо много пережить, чтобы стать человеком» (Антуан де Сент-Экзюпери) 4. «Природа не делает людей, люди делают себя сами.» (Мераб Мамардашвили) 5. «Без элемента неизвестности жизненная игра теряет смысл» (Джон Голсуорси) IN ENGLISH: 1. "To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity". (Friedrich Nietzsche) 2. "No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself". (Friedrich Nietzsche) 3. "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious". (Oscar Wilde) 4. "Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune". (Jim Rohn) 5. "Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in". (Leonardo da Vinci)
It is also possible to include the English quotations in the plan of the lesson, i.e. to translate and to discuss them with the pupils in English, and maybe, to ask the pupils' opinion concerning them in written or oral form. In order to make the quotations more prominent in the classroom, one should write them on yellow boards in red type, and they are sure to draw the pupils’ attention, but they shouldn’t be large in size so as to avoid gaudiness in decoration of the classroom. And to make the pupils cocentrate on the subject (English), it is possible to place in the centre of the classroom a board with a bright coloured picture of two jolly men talking. Above the picture should be written: "They are already speaking English". And below: "And have YOU learnt English to join them?" It will provide the pupils motivation to learn English.
Here is the reference, where English quotations can be found: http://abc-english-grammar.com/1/quota.htm
Here are some quotations: "A mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled". (Plutarch) "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper".(Robert Frost) “Teach the children so that it willnot be necessary to teach the adults.” (Abraham Lincoln) “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well” (Alexander the Great) “The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior.” (Marva Collins) "Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers." (Josef Albers) -and lots of other quotations on http://www.teacher-appreciation.info/Quotations_on_teaching/
I forgot, one of my favourite quotes is "Children are born with wings. Teachers help them to fly" it's inspirational, thank you, girls, once again, now i've got it in my office :)))

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't. Anatole France
Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself. John Dewey
Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know. Daniel J. Boorstin The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. Aristotle
The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life. Ernest Renan

You don't need fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves. Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, Accepted, 2006 It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated. Alec Bourne An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. Anatole France (1844 - 1924) A well-informed mind is the best security against the contagion of folly and of vice. The vacant mind is ever on the watch for relief, and ready to plunge into error, to escape from the languor of idleness. Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764 Education is the best provision for old age. Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. B. F. Skinner (1904 - 1990), New Scientist, May 21, 1964 The strength of the United States is not the gold at Fort Knox or the weapons of mass destruction that we have, but the sum total of the education and the character of our people. Claiborne Pell (1918 - ) Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology. Clive James The number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes. Denis Diderot (1713 - 1784) The foundation of every state is the education of its youth. Diogenes Laertius Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him. Dr. Thomas Fuller (1654 - 1734), Gnomologia, 1732 Only the educated are free.

Evan Esar (1899 - 1995) Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading. G. M. Trevelyan (1876 - 1962), English Social History (1942) Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. Gail Godwin A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. H. G. Wells (1866 - 1946), Outline of History (1920) College isn't the place to go for ideas. Helen Keller (1880 - 1968) Education has for its object the formation of character. Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) The great aim of education is not knowledge but action. Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained. James A. Garfield (1831 - 1881), July 12, 1880 Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get 'em laminated. Jeph Jacques, Questionable Content, 01-04-07 That's what college is for - getting as many bad decisions as possible out of the way before you're forced into the real world. I keep a checklist of 'em on the wall in my room. Jeph Jacques, Questionable Content, 01-04-07 A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students. John Ciardi (1916 - 1986) She knows what is the best purpose of education: not to be frightened by the best but to treat it as part of daily life. John Mason Brown (1900 - 1969) Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't. L. L.

Classroom Decoration 101: 25 Helpful Tips ‘n’ Tricks
ОтветитьУдалить* Design a budget proposal: If you are going to exceed your allotted classroom supplies budget, don’t barge into the principal’s office demanding more money. Draw up a sensible budget explaining why you’d like certain supplies and how your students will benefit.
* Be resourceful: If you aren’t getting much help financially or artistically to decorate your room, go with what you already have or can easily get. To create a seasonal bulletin board, pick up colorful fall leaves from outside to hang up. Complete a recycled art project from everyday household items if you’re strapped for supplies cash.
* Get students to help: If you feel too overwhelmed with grading and lesson plans to stay late and finish up your classroom, have trustworthy students help you out during their off periods or when you don’t have much going on. They can hang up posters, take down an old bulletin board or cut out designs from construction paper.
* Make it a class effort: Decorate your room with materials from class projects, or make it part of your lesson plan to design the room based on a unit from your textbook.
* Open the windows: For a quick fix, open up your blinds and the windows to introduce new light and fresh air.
* Get a plant: Plants boost your mood and improve your health by helping remove toxins from the air.
* Rearrange the desks every once in a while: Switching around the furniture keeps things interesting and changes the dynamic of the entire room.
* Give yourself privacy, but not too much: Set your desk enough away from your students so that you have some privacy, but not so much that you can’t monitor everything that goes on in your room.
* Incorporate team spirit: Show your students that you care about their clubs and athletic teams by hanging up a school flag or banner.
* Inspirational posters: Hang up funny, educational or inspirational posters as a decoration and to deliver a message.
* Put up class pictures: Take pictures of your students and hang them up around the room to show them you’re proud.
* Post a word of the day or joke of the day on your door to generate a discussion.
* Free stuff: Check out this list of teacher freebies that you can use to decorate your classroom.
* Keep everything neat: Loads of clutter will distract your students and make you feel irritable.
* Decorate with college material: Encourage your older students to go to college by putting up college flags or other souvenirs around your room.
* Don’t overdo it: Don’t give your students information overload by covering up every bit of empty space with decorations. Pick your favorites and alternate them according to season or unit.
* Set up a comfortable corner: Bring in a couch or comfy chair for reading or quiet class work.
* Get a class pet: If you think you and your students can handle the responsibility, get a class pet to add some excitement and life into the room.
* Grow a garden: Teachers with outside entrances can plant a small class garden outside their door. If you don’t have outside access, explore container gardening to grow colorful flowers or vegetables.
* Color according to mood: Paint your room a color that is conducive to learning, focus, energy or peace to bring out these qualities in yourself and your students.
* Feng shui: Consider implementing some of the principles of feng shui to promote energy in your room.
* Keep it neutral: Don’t plaster your room with political or religious statements that may offend some students.
* Enlighten your students: On the other hand, don’t be afraid to introduce new ideas or cultures to your students by putting up posters that reflect different cultures and respect for diversity.
* Have a calendar for birthdays: Keep track of your students’ birthdays by letting them mark their special day each month.
* Listen to your students: Ask your students which parts of the classroom they like best and welcome their decorating suggestions.

ЭФФЕКТИВНОЕ ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ КАБИНЕТА ПРИ ОБУЧЕНИИ ИНОСТРАННЫМ ЯЗЫКАМ
ОтветитьУдалитьОбучение иностранному языку требует особых условий. На уроках используется огромное количество наглядных пособий. Учителя используют картинки, таблицы, игрушки, различные предметы. На каждом уроке необходим раздаточный материал для индивидуальной, парной и групповой работы. При изучении иноязычной культуры невозможно обойтись без географических карт и глобуса. В классе обязательно должны быть словари. Необходимы также магнитная доска и технические средства обучения, такие как магнитофон и видео. Мечта каждого учителя установить в классе компьютер с выходом в интернет и интерактивную доску.
В данной статье я не буду касаться вопросов содержания вспомогательных учебных материалов. Мне хотелось бы остановиться подробнее на вопросах более эффективного использования класса, создания соответствующего окружения. Как должен выглядеть кабинет иностранного языка? Какое оформление наиболее соответствует изучаемому предмету? Как можно использовать обстановку кабинета для создания благоприятной окружающей среды?
Изучение иностранного языка является одновременно изучением иноязычной культуры. Особый акцент делается на то, как люди в странах изучаемого языка живут, общаются, изучаются их традиции, обычаи и история. Мостиком к культуре Великобритании и США в моем кабинете служит камин. Он создает особую ауру в классе. К Рождеству мы вешаем на него чулки для подарков от Санта Клауса. На камине «строим» зимний городок.
Сменный стенд рядом с камином посвящен англо-говорящим странам. Дети с интересом рассматривают фотографии, картинки и читают статьи.
Ученики ценят такую обстановку, доказательством чему служит следующее обращение выпускников 2005 года, подаренное мне в красивой рамке. Я не могла не повесить его на стену между камином и стендом.
Изучая культуру других народов, мы становимся богаче. Я знакомлю учеников с традициями праздников англо-говорящих стран. Я уверена, что это сближает наши народы, помогает нашим детям стать толерантными, воспитывает в них уважение к людям всех наций. К праздникам мы оформляем класс в соответствии с традициями страны. Поскольку кабинет маленький, я использую дверь для оформления и выставок американских открыток, которые я получаю от американской подруги по переписке, учителя русского языка в городе Альбукерке (штат Нью-Мексико). Мы ведем переписку с 1993 года.
О веселом празднике Хэллоуин сейчас в России знают все. Каждый год в конце первой четверти мы делаем фонарь из тыквы и оформляем класс в духе нечистой силы. Детям очень нравится, когда учителя приходят в этот день в школу в соответствующих костюмах.
В ноябре мы знакомимся с традициями празднования американского Дня Благодарения, в декабре – с Рождеством, которое перекликается с российским Новым годом, и класс приобретает самое яркое и пышное оформление. День Святого Валентина в феврале способствует укреплению дружеских отношений между детьми, как в классах, так и в школе. Главный символ этого праздника – сердце.
Менее известен в Росси ирландский праздник День Святого Патрика, покровителя Ирландии, который стал также национальным праздником в Соединенных Штатах. Символ Ирландии Трилистник и зеленый цвет являются главными украшениями в этот мартовский день.
Пасха знаменует начало весны. Как и в России, символом этого праздника является яйцо, но еще кролик, цыпленок и пасхальная булочка.
К сожалению, мы имеем только три урока иностранного языка в неделю. Это очень мало при отсутствии языковой среды. Чтобы снять у детей некоторые затруднения на уроках, я украсила класс фразами, необходимыми для ведения урока. Над доской у нас «летят» воздушные шарики, на которых написаны подсказки – вопросительные слова, и «расцвел» цветок с разноцветными лепестками, чтобы напоминать учащимся названия цвета. Алфавит над доской вышит крестиком моими выпускниками, где каждый из них вышивал свою букву.
Поощрительные фразы на задней стене подсказка скорее для учителя, чтобы не забывать почаще хвалить учеников.
Таблицу со знаками транскрипции и картинками я расположила за стеклянными дверцами шкафов, а флаги англо-говорящих стран сверху.
Дверцы шкафов служат постоянной экспозицией для проектов и постеров. Мы проводим конкурсы на лучшее оформление проектов. Например, ученики вторых и седьмых классов выбирают наиболее понравившийся проект одиннадцатиклассников и наклеивают на него стикер, отдавая свой голос «за». Одиннадцатиклассники в свою очередь оценивают проекты других параллелей.
Первый проект второклассников – шарики с их именами, висят под потолком класса. Кроме того, что это вызывает у детей чувство гордости и является подсказкой на случай, если дети забудут, как писать свое имя.
Я уверена, что существует много иных возможностей использования кабинета для создания положительного отношения детей к учению. Надеюсь, что у меня появятся новые идеи, которые можно будет воплотить. Последняя идея – создать ситуативную обстановку для учащихся вторых классов, которые начнут изучать английский язык по новому УМК «Brilliant». Действие в этом учебнике разворачивается на острове. Поэтому по обе стороны доски в классе «выросли» могучие деревья. И второклассники напишут свои имена на зеленых листьях, которые будут «расти» на этих деревьях.
Кроме практической ценности оформления кабинета, необходимо сделать его просто теплым, уютным и удивляющим детей. Я постаралась превратить класс в зимний сад, где цветут цветы и созревают гранаты.
Такие мелочи, как виноград, смородина, огурчики, растущие на лианах, китайская «музыка ветра», до которой надо обязательно дотронуться, выходя из класса, домики на камине, милые и смешные игрушки, бабочки на стенах, создают особую обстановку, которая помогает детям быть более свободными и раскованными, что необходимо при обучении иностранным языкам.

Taking into consideration the pupils' young age the quotations in the classroom, to my mind, should be clear to the most of the pupils or nevertheless easy to translate if they are in English. But if there are only English quotations, the pupils may ignore them, because they may seem too incomprehensible to them. So I think, it would be better to use both English and Russian quotations, so the pupils will read the Russian ones and it will become interesting for them, how the other quotations are translated.
ОтветитьУдалитьHere are some possible examples, which seem to me suitable:
IN RUSSIAN:
1. «Жизнь требует движения» (Аристотель)
2. «Люди, поверьте мне, не рождаются, а формируются.» (Эразм Роттердамский)
3. «Надо много пережить, чтобы стать человеком» (Антуан де Сент-Экзюпери)
4. «Природа не делает людей, люди делают себя сами.» (Мераб Мамардашвили)
5. «Без элемента неизвестности жизненная игра теряет смысл» (Джон Голсуорси)
IN ENGLISH:
1. "To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity". (Friedrich Nietzsche)
2. "No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself". (Friedrich Nietzsche)
3. "It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious". (Oscar Wilde)
4. "Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune". (Jim Rohn)
5. "Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in". (Leonardo da Vinci)
It is also possible to include the English quotations in the plan of the lesson, i.e. to translate and to discuss them with the pupils in English, and maybe, to ask the pupils' opinion concerning them in written or oral form.
In order to make the quotations more prominent in the classroom, one should write them on yellow boards in red type, and they are sure to draw the pupils’ attention, but they shouldn’t be large in size so as to avoid gaudiness in decoration of the classroom.
And to make the pupils cocentrate on the subject (English), it is possible to place in the centre of the classroom a board with a bright coloured picture of two jolly men talking. Above the picture should be written: "They are already speaking English". And below: "And have YOU learnt English to join them?" It will provide the pupils motivation to learn English.
