  3. Types of Bingo • This presentation looks at three main types of Bingo games: • Listening Bingo games(passive, static, one-way, instructional, individual, receptive, information gap activities); Speaking Bingo games(active, dynamic, two-way, communicative, group, cognitive, language-performance and information transfer activities); • Self-made Bingo games(active, dynamic, two-way, interactive, group, cognitive, collaborative, language-performance, problem-solving and critical thinking).

  4. Types of Bingo • The second means of classification is by the type of activity: • Picture Bingo(picture to picture, picture to word) • Word Bingo(word to word, word to picture) • Synonym Bingo(similar word – thesaurus) • Antonym Bingo(opposite word) • Translation Bingo(English-Korean, Korean-English) • Matching Bingo(matching a sportsperson to a sport, etc.) • 20 Questions Bingo(asking questions about the words) • Riddle Bingo (definitions – dictionary) • Pyramid Bingo(using a different format for the Bingo card) • Idiom Bingo (explanations)

  9. Listening Bingo Most linguistic items, functions, skills or topics can be studied through the listening Bingo approach. These include:

  10. Speaking Bingo • Speaking Bingo games encourage students to communicate with each other. They encourage learners to listen and speak, and they can be funny. • Bingo is now used in an interactive way, introducing and reviewing language in an investigative ‘learner-directed’ manner. • The input and the outcome is up to the player, rather than the individual Bingo card. • Speaking Bingo is open and flexible. It can use any linguistic items, topics, functions or skills as its source materials. • Each player chooses a person to speak to and takes the responsibility for the result. • The games are performed in a real communicative setting. • There is no limit to the exercising of linguistic skills - listening, speaking, reading, writing and comprehending!

  11. Speaking Bingo: • Word to word

  12. Speaking Bingo: Picture to Picture

  13. Speaking Bingo: • Pyramid Bingo: BINGO!

  14. Speaking Bingo:

  15. Self-Made Bingo: • In listening and speaking Bingo the master cards and players’ Bingo cards are prepared by the teacher. Hence, the learners are not actively involved until the performance stage. • Because of this, both categories can be said to be lacking in terms of learner-centred qualities. • If we wish students to learn meaningfully and effectively, however, it is important that we involve them in the entire process of language learning. • It follows, therefore, that the teacher should encourage learners to participate in preparing Bingo game cards and in making the rules.

  16. Self-Made Bingo: • When learners play Bingo games with cards made by themselves, in self-made Bingo games, they achieve a sense of purpose, ownership and meaning. • This promotes confidence, motivation and responsibility for learning. • The active making of Bingo activities by students is a desirable educational event. • This can lead to excellent follow-on activities such as: • devising and writing the rules for their activity • explaining their activity to other groups • making a PowerPoint presentation about their activity.

  18. Self-Made Bingo: 20 Questions

  19. Self-Made Bingo: Irregular Verbs

  20. Self-Made Bingo When we give students the tools to become autonomous learners: • There is a resulting increase in enthusiasm for learning (Littlejohn, 1985). • Personal involvement in decision making leads to more effective learning (Dickinson, 1995, p.165). • When the learner sets the agenda, learning is more focused, purposeful, and effective (Little, 1991; Holec, 1981; Dickinson, 1987). • When responsibility for the learning process lies with the learner, the barriers to learning and living that are often found in traditional teacher-led classes need not arise (Little, 1991; Holec, 1981; Dickinson, 1987).
