Using Cuisenaire Rods in the Language Classroom: Part 2

[Jessica Fan]

Have a quick think about the reflective questions below in order to get the most out of the workshop:
1. Can we keep learners engaged whilst they have the distraction of rods in front of them? How can we focus them on the task?
2. What’s the connection between Dogme and rods? Is this a route into using the Silent Way?
3. Some students experience synesthetic and partial synesthetic responses to colours, ‘red for nouns’ etc – How can that affect the use of rods?
4. What are your thoughts regarding the value of having objects to handle available and the need of some students to fidget, move or doodle to concentrate?
5. Tell me about rods and asynchronous teaching.
