One of the volunteering teachers came to our classroom to teach us how to make kites. All instructions were given in English and also apprentices were supposed to use this language during the whole class. The volunteering teacher and me were making jokes, comments and setting a complete English speaking environment while the elaboration of the kites.

Students from gestion empresarial were taught about how to make their own job interviews. It was pretty important for them in order to create conscience about the vocabulary and actions they need to learn before applying for any job position. This is an example about one of their videos. They really enjoyed this time and learnt a lot for sure. JFGS

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!
