I.FLASHCARDS
1.-DEFINITION
A small card printed with words, pictures, or numbers that helps someone to learnsomething.
Flash cards are an educational tool to help people memorize information. Though technological advances have enhanced many learning devices, simple flash cards have remained a vital part of the learning environment.
A flash card is part of a set of cards that has numbers, letters, pictures or words on it. They are commonly used for drilling students on facts. Flash cards may also beused to enhance student memory. Try playing a memory game with the facts on the cards. This is a great and fun way to help students memorize.
2. - TYPES
2.1. FLASHCARDS FOR INDIVIDUALS
* One way to enhance learning is to incorporate color into the card-making process. If you are using flashcards to study a foreign language, for instance, you may use pink for feminine nouns and blue formasculine nouns.
You could also use colors to indicate regular and irregular verbs in foreign languages. Color coding is especially helpful for students who are visual or tactile learners.
* Computer-generated cards can also enhance the learning process. Students can type a list to create question cards, cut them out, and fill in the answers by hand on the back side. Tactile learners benefit byusing this process, as writing the answers actually becomes part of the learning process.
* You can keep blank index cards on hand as you take class notes. When you hear an important term, you can write the term on a card right away and add the answers later, when you study. This process encourages you to reinforce the information you hear in class.
* When studying with flashcards, make asmall check mark on the corner of those you get right. When you have made two or three marks on a card, you know you can put it in a separate pile. Keep going through your main pile until all cards have two or three marks.
* Cut up poster boards to make very large cards. These come in many colors, so you can use the colors to create specific meanings.
2.2. FLASHCARDS FOR STUDY GROUPS
* Forclasses that require you to memorize many definitions, such as social studies or history classes, you may want to gather together to create a master list of flash cards using the glossary in the back of your textbook. If possible, use color coding to indicate for which chapter each term is relevant.
* Make a matching game with your cards for your study group. Make separate cards for thequestions and the answers, leaving the back sides blank. Place the cards face down and turn them over, one by one, trying to find matches.
* Make a competition with your cards by forming two teams. Assign a scorekeeper to hold up cards and keep track as team members call out the right answers. This would be a good way to get parents involved!
3.-USES
Flash cards are a simple, versatile, yet oftenunderexploited resource. I would like to offer some reasons for using flash cards and a selection of activities for use in the Young Learner classroom, although some of the activities could also be used with fun-loving, lower level adult classes.
In this article there is one example for each type of activity. If you follow this link - Flash card activities - you will find more examples for eachtype of activity.
Why use flash cards?
Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory reminds teachers that there are many types of learners within any one class. Gardner's research indicates that teachers should aim to appeal to all the different learner types at some point during the course. It is particularly important to appeal to visual learners, as a very high proportion of learners have...
