MARK´S LOVE STORY

http://www.slideshare.net/pdharam/love-story-of-mark Using videos to develop writing skills. This beautiful love story (a bit weird maybe) can be used as a starter for students to turn the whole visual story into words. Students should watch the video first and then write the story down. Enjoy it!

PRONUNCIATION POEM

Hiya! For those students complaining about English pronunciation there's a very interesting Pronunciation Poem by the British Council at http://www.britishcouncil.org/learnenglish-central-poems-pronunciation-poem.html
I used it with my Basico 1 Students and I can tell you it's good practice and fun if you get them learn it by heart! There's also an activity after listening to it so that they can check their comprehension but remember here we just focus on sounds not meaning since it's such a basic level. You can download the audio, the text and the activity too. Have a nice week!

Hello Elllo! My favourite listening place

We sometimes need fresh resources to use in the classroom when (and our students too) feel really tired of the textbooks, which are not always realistic enough. This is a most interesting webpage called English Listening Lesson Library OnLine (http://www.elllo.org/) which offers a wide range of recordings uploaded by English speakers from all over the world. We can also find ready-to-use materials to be used supplementing the online activities. It is most suitable for active lessons where participants have to be dynamic in order to acquire listening and speaking skills.
