Using
Online Tutorials
Online
Tutorials can provide our students with language used in processes and
instructions and can illustrate organizational models. Although most
tutorials require a paid subscription, there are many that can be downloaded
for free. Not all of the tutorials are culturally appropriate, so tread
carefully!
Tutorials available include understanding tennis, making a time capsule, childproofing a home, decorating eggs, making paper hats, cracking coconuts, preventing flu, braiding hair, choosing a mobile phone and making your mascara last longer. Possible ideas for exploitation include: Students reorder the steps in tutorial that you have earlier jumbled. Take this one step further and have the learners choose a tutorial to download. They can then jumble the instructions and set the task for their peers Students read and are concept checked on tutorials and then they write their own, perhaps emphasizing a skill or a process native to their culture.
