50 suggerimenti per Insegnanti stanchi
Cerchiamo di essere onesti, ci sono giorni in cui un insegnante si sente "sopraffatto". Forse da troppe classi per troppi giorni, forse a causa dei cambiamenti di programmazione, forse a causa di una malattia o dello stress. E 'un dato di fatto, tutti gli insegnanti si stancano e hanno bisogno di un aiuto utilizzando qualche strumento da affiancare all’insegnamento. Basta un qualcosa che magari per soli 40 minuti possa impegnare gli alunni e lui possa riprendere fiato.
L’elenco di seguito è stato progettato per offrire agli insegnanti stanchi "lezioni istantanee". Molti ma non tutti di essi richiedono un computer e lo schermo in classe o una comune lavagna. Tutti offrono un apprendimento agli studenti immediato e senza preparazione per gli insegnanti. Si raccomanda agli insegnanti solo di sedersi, magari bere un caffè e lasciare che gli studenti controllino da soli l'attività di apprendimento. Meglio nominando uno studente a guidare la classe. Provare per credere.

Pseudo-anglicismi
sono parole utilizzate in lingue diverse dall'inglese che sembrano prese in
prestito dall'inglese. Sono impiegate però in modo che un madrelingua inglese non

forma di parole composte, che combinano elementi di più parole inglesi per
creare una nuova parola che sembra essere inglese.
Gli pseudo-anglicismi sono legati a falsi amici o falsi
affini. Molti non inglesi, che impiegano pseudo-anglicismi. credono che le
parole in questione siano anglicismi genuini e possono utilizzarli parlando in
