| 9:09 pm | cybraryman1: | @lolonagi Good idea to have students create their own vocabulary dictionary & include pictures #ELTChat |
| 9:09 pm | NikkiFortova: | RT @KarenInGreece: When do you do most of your revision/recycling? Start of lesson? #ELTchat >I try at the beginning and end of lessons |
| 9:09 pm | vladkaslniecko: | @ELTExperiences yes, there are studies..twenty times is average…some words need to be presented more than that!!! unbelievable #ELTchat |
| 9:09 pm | theteacherjames: | @KarenInGreece #eltchat I prefer to do activities that recycle rather than recycling activities, if you see what I mean! |
| 9:10 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @cybraryman1: @lolonagi Good idea to have students create their own vocabulary dictionary & include pictures #ELTChat |

| 9:10 pm | lolonagi: | RT @cybraryman1: @lolonagi Good idea to have students create their own vocabulary dictionary & include pictures #ELTChat> great idea |
| 9:10 pm | juliachumphreys: | @KarenInGreece Yes usually at the beginning of the lesson to review previous lesson’s language #ELTchat |
| 9:10 pm | annabooklover: | @ELTExperiences It’s even more than that, something like forty (times to see a new word b4 learning it) but let me find the link #ELTchat |
| 9:10 pm | Marisa_C: | RT @Fuertesun: Use the walls to scaffold previously taught lang and vocab #eltchat > posters? notes? projects? |
| 9:10 pm | SueannaN: | RT @ELTExperiences: But how many words are useful to recycle in a lesson? Ten, twenty, thirty, one hundred? #ELTChat not many. Ten? |

| 9:13 pm | vladkaslniecko: | @theteacherjames yep! make it as natural and authentic as possible… real life context #ELTchat |
| 9:13 pm | janetbianchini: | #ELTchat They can do little open class competitions that they create for homework, ready for next class |
| 9:13 pm | ESLlibrary: | Do you ever offer rewards or privileges for students who make special effort to USE the vocab or new grammar? recycling rewards #ELTChat |

| 9:56 pm | ayatawel: | how can blogs help with recycling?!!#eltchat |
| 9:56 pm | theteacherjames: | RT @ESLlibrary: An outstanding question seems to be how to recycle grammar/pronunciation -anything other than vocab. #ELTChat Suggestions? |
| 9:56 pm | ELTExperiences: | @JoshSRound @janetbianchini @JoshSRound @rliberni as well as getting them to blog. #ELTChat |
| 9:56 pm | du_siemens: | Man, I gotta say… I just love being part of the #ELTChat. |
| 9:56 pm | KarenInGreece: | Early finishers can create vocab cards to be used later by all students #ELTchat |
| 9:56 pm | Marisa_C: | @ayatawel think of blogs as projects – only they are not stuck on the walls #eltchat |
| 9:56 pm | pwaylett2: | RT @janetbianchini: Vocabulary Games and Activities contains lots of great activities http://tinyurl.com/5uygl29 #ELTchat |
| 9:57 pm | ESLlibrary: | @du_siemens Maybe even a Friday or weekend blog about what we learned for those who are blogging. #ELTChat |
| 9:57 pm | vladkaslniecko: | @ESLlibrary or you can try a matching game, dominoes…good for sentence structures, conjuctions, conditionals.. #ELTchat |
| 9:57 pm | KarenInGreece: | @du_siemens Me too! I look forward to it every Wednesday now #ELTchat |
| 9:57 pm | du_siemens: | @ayatawel You could set your ss a task in which they would have to use a specific grammar point / vocabulary? #ELTChat |
| 9:57 pm | teacher_prix: | #ELTChat – My 2 cents: I like to ask SS on the very 1st day to by an address book and use it as VocaLog! |
| 9:57 pm | JoshSRound: | RT @du_siemens: Sometimes I write “What we have learned so far…” on the bd and give a couple of minutes in pairs. >> like this #ELTchat |

| 9:57 pm | shaznosel: | RT @du_siemens: Man, I gotta say… I just love being part of the #ELTChat. |
| 9:57 pm | theteacherjames: | @ESLlibrary #ELTChat I really believe in teaching techniques that are tied to a real output – should provide plenty of opps for practice. |
| 9:57 pm | DinaDobrou: | @rliberni See what you mean now.They have the “finish-the-book mentality” #ELTChat They don’t see value of recycl. as form of consolidating. |
| 9:57 pm | janetbianchini: | @JoshSRound Yes, getting ss to write a journal has been successful, but usually very keen students take to it easily #ELTchat |
| 9:57 pm | ICTtower: | RT @DinaDobrou: RT @du_siemens: ?Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.? we have to engage students. #ELTChat |
| 9:57 pm | Fuertesun: | If I had a penny for the aount of times I’ve hear “I’ve been teaching for 20 yrs” Did none tell em 20 yrs of same not good! #eltchat |

| 9:59 pm | rliberni: | @DinaDobrou that’s right new,new,new but it’s the time-money concept and you have to pull rabbits out of hats ti keep interest! #eltchat |
| 9:59 pm | Fuertesun: | @du_siemens any fool can do it! #ELTChat |
| 9:59 pm | du_siemens: | @theteacherjames Yes, I have… but they were mocking me… and sometimes I play with them too. #ELTChat |
