Spelling Games
I wasn't really planning on playing these games, I was just kinda checking them out. But I am telling you, with your first attempt at them you're hooked! They immediatly grab hold of your attention and pull you into a swirling spelloru. Try them out, introduce your learners to them. I assure you, you'll have your class at peace - and very quiet - and spelling like pro's in no time.

Virtual reality: Second life in education
I know this probably has nothing to do with Language, but really... I'm talking Second Life in Education!
Forget books...
Think...
"The unique qualities of a 3D virtual world can provide opportunities for rich sensory immensive experiences, authentic contexts and activities for experiential learning, simulation and role-play, modelling of complex scenarios, a platform for data visualisation and opportunities for collaboration and co-creation that cannot be easily experienced using other platforms.
Second Life is completely user-generated 3D environment that comes with relatively easy-to-use building and scripting tools that anyone can learn. This makes it an ideal platform for engaging students in creating their own learning activities, experiences and environments, and not just be passive consumers of learning."

Idiomatiese uitdrukkings
Antwoorde op laasweek se vrae
Die verligte eeu – die eeu van kennis oor dinge.
‘n Vreemdeling in Jerusalem – onbekend is met wat in ‘n mens se onmiddelike omgewing gebeur.
Die verligte eeu – die eeu van kennis oor dinge.
Ek het ‘n voëltjie hoor fluit – ek het verneem; iemand iets hoor sê.
By ‘n nooi vlerksleep – na ‘n nooi vry.
Solank die voël nog vlieg, kan jy hom skiet – al is ‘n meisie verloof kan jy na haar probeer vry.
Die bul by die horings pak – dadelik met ‘n taak begin.
Snuf in die neus kry – op die spoor van iets kom; agterdogtig word.
‘n Padda in sy keel hê – hees wees.
Met die hele mandjie patats vorendag kom – die saak of geheim uitblaker.
Vol jakkalsstreke wees – allerhande geslepe planne hê.
‘n Liefdesbetrekking aanknoop – ‘n vryery begin.
Sowaar as padda manel dra – baie seker.

Idiomatiese uitdrukkings
Wat is idiome en waarom gebruik ons dit?
Idiome is uitdrukkings wat gebruik word om iets op ‘n treffender wyse te sê. Dit verleen kleur aan ons taalgebruik. In plaas daarvan om te sê,
“Sy vrou speel baas oor hom”,
sê ons byvoorbeeld eerder “Hy staan onder die pantoffelregering”.
In plaas van,
“hy is onbeskof”,
kan ons eerder sê “as hy horings gehad het was hy ‘n buffel”.
Idiomatiese uitdrukkings is baie keer totaal onlogies. Of dikwels beteken hulle iets wat glad nie af te lei is van die woorde waaruit hulle saamgestel is nie. Neem as voorbeeld die volgende:
Die kat in die donker knyp.
Die kloutjie by die oor kry, of
‘n Wolf in skaapsklere.
Lees die onderstaande leesstuk, en identifiseer en verduidelik die idiome wat daarin voorkom.
