The Labyrinth


In this activity depicted in the picture, apprentices from "Tc en Contabilidad" put into practice what they had been studying about understanding and giving directions. First at all, the apprentices built a labyrinth using the chairs and tables of the classroom. After, they worked in couples so that one person was blindfolded trusting on the other apprentice who was in charge of giving the correct direction in order to go through the labyrinth. It was a relly fun activity as they all laughed most profusely. [JPS]

DMG

In other words...


In this activity apprentices from "Tc. en Contabilidad y finanzas" (918633) put into practice their communicative skills in order to convey a definition of a concept. For this, the class was split into two teams and each of them sent a volunteer to the board. The apprentices at the board were expected to guess the word or concept that their classmates were explaining to them. The apprentices got really involved in the activity by participating actively in the description race. The activity ended up by being a success to make learners talk in the target-language. [JPS]

Giant Learning!

Every second Friday, Socorro and San Gil do an 'English Friday'. Last time, we planned a life-sized trivia game. We even had hats to make them look like game pieces. 

I present, the Yellow Group! Carlos, Cristian, Richard and Katherine.

And last, but not least, the Blue Man Group! Esteban, Anderson, Dahil and Sergio.

Picture is a bit dark, but how excited do they look?!

Red group: Fredy, Deisy, Liliana, & Olinda. 

Greenies! Jorge, Lupe, Arled and Dayana.

Dahil is having fun already!

They were asked trivia questions, and if correct were able to move spaces around the giant playing board we had taped out on the floor. 

How cute do they all look in their game piece hats?!

Katherine really looks like she's having fun! Sergio kind of looks like he's about to square dance....

Fredy must have gotten the answer right if he is rolling the die!

Nelson and I definitely had as much fun as the students! 

Anderson won, and then started trying to whisper his teammates the answers. This was the solution. He kind of looks like a baby bird waiting to be fed. 

Clearly, this is the place to be if you want to have fun learning English. Great afternoon with an awesome bunch of students!
