Hi, I've been receiving emails from the dogme group for some time because an enthusiastic colleague added me to the list. I never thought I would send an email...

Thanks, Diarmuid, for helping Ruth out. It's worth noting that the SEARCH option on the egroups site works well and quickly, so if you're looking (as I was the...
LOTS of interesting postings I want to join in on - but rather slow and rusty after almost 3 weeks off-line; meanwhile, out of interest, here's an extract (3...

I've been asked to give a session on using video. This is something I've done many times in the past in various ways, but I've never found any truly dogme...
dear dk, there's a lot to think about in your reply and wholelanguage cross posting. And thanks. (Though I don't know what you'd think about one lesson I had...
Sue, your posting is wildly interesting, though I need more time to properly read and digest it. I think student feedback - especially when it's clearly...
In reponse to Sue Ali: I agree with your take on students coming late to class. I encourage my latecomers to come up with very original stories. We haven't yet...

Surely the only dogme-way to use video in the classroom would be to video a "dogme class" - and no lights, no props, no scripting, no editing...! PC Smasher ...

Before the Christmas break, I had asked a vague question about opinions relating to resources books. Actually, I had a purpose in doing so but wanted to get...
Dear Jane: This is a hard idea to sell, I'm afraid. But you asked for it! Resource books can be just as disempowering as coursebooks, in the same way that...
DK writes, "Any teacher worth his/her salt knows that the second method of explanation works" (using largely referential language). What is being explained...
Hi. Not sure that this really answers your question, Jane, but anyway... The kind of resource book I would like to see would contain about 50-60 photocopiable...
Dennis, there is no mystery. They learn by doing. They may first study the system in some abstract way and then put it to use, or they may simply pick it up...
I feel I should respond, even if I don't have anything to say! I've never been a big fan of resource books. Not for any other reason than I've never found them...
