Fifth Educational Tutorial - Making a word search in 4 easy steps

Being able to create our own material will open up the possibility of sharing it with fellow colleagues and therefore making the most out of our time when planning for new lessons. As students hunt for words, their brain is learning the new words. Thus, take advantage of these resources to help students experience learning in a different way.

Trying reading the following paragraph:

"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe. ceehiro."

  1. Thank you Guille for this valuable tool to make word search. It has taken me a lot of time to prepare this kind of activities for my students. Now, it is easier to prepare in advance these kinds of exercises at a short time. I tried one with simple words related to fruits and the result was fantastic. Even students can produce their own ones and bring them to class to exchange with other mates for competitions in class regarding the same topic to review vocabulary or even for a short quiz made by the students themselves. I think this is a valuable resource for professors and students to learn a new language. As I mentioned before, it was easy to do and the best part is that people can watch the video as many times as they want to follow each step. Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us all of these learning devices.
