Don't be afraid of Chinese whispers!

Most of the students are always encouraging themselves to improve their listening and speaking skills. A very good way to do so is through this kind of activities where you see the importance of listening and pronouncing properly. Each groups was composed by 7 students and they were positioned in sort of a queue, the first student had to listen to a sentence given by the instructor and then he had to repeat the same sentence to the second student, then the second to the third and so on. The loser group had to pay a penalty decided by the other group. We had tons of fun and learnt even more!

Draw my life!- Video

Getting in touch with technology, it’s a challenge. Students of Graphic Design create their own Draw My Life. We see on Youtube that people tell theirs life using some drawings while they speak, so this group did it too! We as a team (teacher & students), were involved in a process to get a final product; at the beginning, it was the writing process, then check some pronunciation focus on rhythm and intonation and finally drawing.

Final project level 4

Here we have a picture of the different final pieces of work done by the apprentices from level 4. The idea of this mini-project was to accomplish diverse units of a book in which learners not only showed their artistic abilities, but also demonstrated they were able to talk about their personal information, family background, daily activities and likes. They did all these based on previous tasks they had to work on during classes. Furthermore, they developed diverse English writing skills as well as speaking ones. The final outcome of this project was to make a short presentation expressing some items contained in their books. 

Relax and enjoy learning English with the beat!

Administrative Assistance group in a happy mood are demonstrating their understanding of a song of prepositions of place and movement. Using song and dance has proven to be an effective way to learn and show what they have learned in English. , testing their histrionic qualities in the center of the platform, moving their bodies and listening to the words of the prepositions and different commands. We believe that in today´s world, English has spread all over, that´s why we must learn another language and why not English? .YES YOU CAN!

Too twisted for you?

There is no better way to improve your english than practicing, but what happens if you practice and have fun at the same time? that improvement will rise to the sky! That's why students love to learn english with games! This "twister" game is a great activity because they can practice commands, parts of the body and colours, all  of them at the same time! they have to concentrate in the commands given by the instructor, if they fail, they lose, and if they lose, they have to pay for that mistake! we had plenty of fun and they learnt the importance of thinking straight in english rather than listen-translate-act.
