Delicious Third Week

Hi!

This week was a lot of fun.

Although we've read some serious stuff,  both articles and websites inspired me to explore further on the Internet and gave me numerous new ideas on how to engage students and get their creativity going.

I have been using authentic materials for many years. I was blessed with English Speaking volunteers who add various accents, thus my class was able to enjoy both their authentic stories and listen to different pronunciations.

Since I enjoy writing and creativity I try to use it in my lessons and this week provided me with a gamut of tools.

A new micro- world through the computers enables both me  - as a teacher, and my students, to participate in an entertaining process of Second Language Learning.

Awaiting Week 4,

Yours,
L.

The Sound of Tech

Hi Everyone!
The Course tasks this week meant busy reading and writing for all of us.
The articles on Learning Objectives were very informative.
Web Search tools gave me a chance to explore new grounds and come across a few which were already familiar.
I think this is a great opportunity to use a few in my classroom, since I sometimes teach through songs, and so far have been using mainly Youtube for this purpose.

Have a great weekend.

Hi everyone! 
Very excited to start my new blog.
I love teaching and travelling - so here's the place where you'll read about both.
I've been teaching  students at all levels, for the past ten years. 
 I go by the saying: "Students are my best teachers". I've learned quite a lot from each and every one of them and have always tried to incorporate this information in my lessons. 
I think as teachers we should try to be the best caterers, tailors, "imaginarians"/magicians, mentors and good listeners.

Happy travelling!
