How should I use Wordwall to teach languages?
Any teacher with a little creativity will be able to find a host of ways to utilize Wordwall to teach their target language. Here are some ideas to consider.
- Practice Word Order in the Target Language
- Review Vocabulary from a Specific Topic or Chapter
- Generate Engaging Warm-Up Activities to Get Things Going
- Assess Students’ Understanding of a Text Using Comprehension Checks
For each activity, the creator will be able to share the task through a link or a QR code. This makes it practical for students to easily participate in completing the assignment directly from their phones.
How can I include AI in this?
We recommend using AI to generate vocabulary lists with definitions, sets of multiple choice questions on a particular topic, jumbled-up sentences to practice grammar, etc. Pasting AI-generated content into the back end of Wordwall templates makes creating an activity that much easier.
