Groups 1 and 2 - 3rd register

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to a new register of blogs. I feel ready yo tell you all about our students and their progress in the classroom, the different groups and the activities that we carry out weekly as teachers.✨馃摎



The first group was No茅’s. They presented vocabulary and did some cool games and activities to develop the topic.


They started with charades. The teachers explained to students what the game consisted of and then one by one would go to the front and represent a word through mimics. I think this was a nice way to start the class.


Then, teachers presented vocabulary related to the routine, I get up, I brush my teeth, I go to work and had students repeat.


Following up, they moved on to the next topic, frequency adverbs and explained to class the  percentages of use.



Then they had their practice, for which they gave students a piece of paper to pick the right frequency adverbs, while they did that they played Adele in the background using suggestopedia, which was very good and made the activity more interesting, then the teachers gave the right answers.


The second practice they did was to spread some slips of paper which contained phrases like go to the beach, do exercise, wash the dishes and students had to group into the different columns as how often they did the given activities. 



Lastly, students produced, they talked about  their routine and the group prized them with a candy when they did.


Finally, for the wrap up they had a big roulette ad randomly picked the persons to say specific things they learned.



Group 2




Maru’s group started their grammar topic with an exciting memory chain game, a student started with a sentence  of the routine and then the second student would say the first sentence and his or her own, making a long list of sentences as students were added to the chain. 

After that, they had a trivia students really loved, they would present a sentences but this sentence had a gap they had to fill out with one right option.



Students could pick different bonus and this made it far more interesting. Students loved it and I think it is alway good to have this kind of games because they are so interactive.

Last but not least, they also played tic-tac-toe.

That was it for today, thank you for reading this far!

Grammar and Vocabulary Demo Classes

Hello dear teacher and classmates!! Welcome to another weekly entry. Time flies and I can´t believe we are already in a new register! This time, let me start with a fantastic record of our last class. We did some demo classes as a team. It was very funny to see all the course wearing black as if we had planned it!馃槄馃槀 Teacher Orlando divided us into four different groups, I'll introduce mine in a second. And we performed grammar and vocabulary topics as teachers. Let´s get into it and review what each one of us presented to the class! Group 1: Vocabulary - Medical Vocabulary Group number one decided to teach medical vocabulary. I really loved their activities and the topic was especially important since we will most likely be interpreting or translating medical-related things, so I found it very useful.  First of all, they started asking some questions, they showed us some medical stuff and we brainstormed as a class, trying to guess what the right term for the image was. Then, the...

Teaching writing

 Hi there! Welcome back to a new entry on a new topic. This time, we´ll be talking about: writing! 馃ぉ Our last two classes have been more theoretical, we have had some nice exercises too though.  In our first class, we rehearsed our muscles, drew some tracings, and practiced cursive and print handwriting. It felt weird, to be honest. 馃槄 I don't remember when I last wrote a complete sentence in cursive style I assume it’s been in years! I remember that coming back from virtuality, my hand even felt stiff! This is my handwriting in cursive and printing styles. 馃き I am not good with cursive and kind of mix both. 馃槄 Then, we went a little deeper into what we actually mean by writing skills. Writing involves aspects like handwriting, spelling, punctuation, sentence construction, paragraphing, text cohesion, and register or style. We discussed that maybe for us, as Spanish speakers, we don´t have to struggle that much with handwriting, or at least not as much as learners whose writi...

Demos

  Hello everyone! Welcome once again and to the very last entry of my blog! It’s been a long and amazing trip through different topics. To wrap it up, we’re going to describe Demos! We had presentations these  past two weeks and I have to admit that I had a blast! I enjoyed watching my classmates and friends doing their best and I certainly learned from them. Everyone was so creative and dedicated when it came to preparing their activities. I loved all of them and I’m pretty sure there are quite good future teachers in our classroom!  1. This was the first group. They presented activities to rehearse  listening. To begin with, they passed a listening test. We had to pay  close attention to answer correctly, but to be honest, it was quite easy, because it was meant for basic or intermediate students. That is the cool thing about activities to train the four macro skills, you can adjust them according to your class needs, interests and of course, levels. Then, the...
