Courses: FOLA 162 - Methods of Teaching a
Second Language
Description: In Dr. Kraemer's class, PowerPoint
presentations and the Internet play important roles
in the learning process. PowerPoint is used not only
as a way to enhance her lectures, but as a way to
facilitate classroom activities. Steering away from
too much text, Dr. Kraemer uses PowerPoint to structure
classroom time by emphasizing lesson objectives and
main ideas and then expands upon these ideas in her
lecture. PowerPoint is further used to introduce examples
of concepts.
In addition to her own use of PowerPoint, Dr. Kraemer
has also designed student assignments around its use.
One particular assignemt requires students to write
a Publicité, or advertisement, for a city of
their choice, in French. Students use the Internet
to gather information about the city and then present
their findings in class. PowerPoint is used to enhance
the presentation by facilitating the integrating of
various forms of media, such as photographs, video,
audio and text.
