TEACHING ENGLISH USING TIMELINE



HOW CAN TEACHERS USE THE TIMELINE ACTIVITY FOR THE PURPOSE OF LANGUAGE LEARNING?


Timelines are graphic representations of the chronology of events in time. Timelines help students understand the chronology of historic events, and help students situate newly encountered events and figures in relation to those they have already studied. They provide a visual aid for identifying cause and effect relationships between events, and a visual prompt to activate student prior knowledge. 

They allow students to recognize how historic events, eras and topics overlap in time. Use them to categorize similar or related events into themes, eras, and topics, and to help students compare elements in different time periods.

All of these purposes are important to help the students develop a long-range understanding of historic chronology.
