KARAOKE NIGHT

This time students from "Produccion de Medios Audiovisuales" had the opportunity to show their singing skills while practicing English. Each one picked out a song of their preference and performed it for the class. This was a chance to relax and get more confidence with pronunciation.We have got some good talents here.

Let's keep on rolling

Students of Gestion Empresarial at Paramo were eager to start filming their performance showing their own client service skills, before doing so they had to create their own dialogue showing why colombia is internationally acknowledged by its kindness and excellent client service. After that, they had to practice a lot because they not only were afraid of speaking in public, but of the cameras as well. With proper support from the students of Producción de medios audiovisuales we had a perfect shooting and the results were beyond belief.

What to watch?

Student of level 8 are learning about how to make a final product using TICs as a material resource. At the beginning, the purpose is to get engage students in the world of videos, infomercial, documentaries, cooking programs etc. This first shot was a speaking exercise where students were able to speak spontaneously about their favorite TV Show. They drew in a small piece of paper an image that represents his/her favorite TV program. Then, they exposed their feeling, reasons, and they invited people to enjoy their TV programs. Getting nervous when you speaking is normal, but they did a very good job.

Who wrote it?

In this activity each of our level 5 students had to write down twelve sentences about his/her daily routine, after doing so they had to put them all together and mix them up on a box which was in the middle of the classroom. Then they gathered around the box and each one grabbed a sentence, after looking at it they started asking their classmates if he/she wrote that sentence. They learnt how to make fluent questions and had tons of fun.

Do you know who am I?

Guessing the character by giving some details, was the activity for this level 5 group. The purpose was to dress like the real character, make a short performance at the beginning, and interact with the audience. This is a small group willing to speak, thus everybody acted and showed his/her best body expression. We were focused on Colombian Characters in order to keep in mind our own talent. Characters like Fernando Botero, Margarita Rosa de Francisco, Mariana Pajón Londoño among others were set on the screen.

LEARNING PARTS OF THE BODY

Apprentices from Level 3 did this activity to learn about the parts of the body. On a figure on the floor each student had to place the part of the body written on the card they selected. The main purpose of this activity was to adquire new vocabulary while focusing on pronunciation.

TRUE OR FALSE? YOU GUESS IT

Level 6 students playing a game called true or false, where they have to talk about their experiences (they might be true or false) using the present perfect, right after each estudent has talked the students from the other group have to say whether they think that experience was real or not. The number of right guessings is the number of points they get.
