Syllabus- Plan

 Syllabus and  year plan for Language 2. There's a syllabus for nivel inicial and one for Polimodal. You can download them by pressing the button below each document that says "menu", and then choosing the option "download". Of course, first you'll have to create an account in WWW. SLIDESHARE. NET, but this is very easy.

You are what you eat- Recipes

HHello everyone!!
Here I am to remind you about your 2nd assignment. As we are learning vocabulary relatod to foods and cooking, you will have to prepare and present  a recipe in a very creative way. I have suggested you preparing a video of you cooking, or a powerpoint presentation with pictures of you explaining the recipe. Of course, you can suggest other ideas. You should try to upload on You TUBE (don't forget to send me the link) or give it to me so that I can do it. There's a software called Windows movie maker, most computers with WINDOWS XP  have it in their ALL PROGRAMS SECTION and its the easiest software to create home movies. Power point presentations should be sent to me by email or in a CD.
For those who know a little bit about computer here there are two links with videos explaining how to create videos using WindowsMovieMaker:

Welcome!!!

Hello everyone!! Welcome to Language 2!!!
My name is Yesica R. Baracat. I'm your Language 2 teacher.We are going to be together for one year and I hope we can get on well and learn together. Language 2 is aimed to develop your English language skills so that you can reach an upper-intermediate level. Therefore, you need a lot of speaking, reading, listening and writing practice to improve. This blog is intended to be used as a "disscussion board allowing all of you an equal environment in which to participate in class discussions. Here you will also can have access to the class schedule and assignments; useful links; homework and your own works posted on the blog. I want you to participate in this blog whose aim is to give you a place where we can be in contact and practice English. All asingments here will be considered as "practicos"; therefore, they will be assessed by the teacher.
I hope you enjoy this year which is part of your training as future teachers.

ACTIVITY:

Here you have a short video about a documentary movie which shows in a funny way how people from China were desperate to learn English during the Olympic games.It made me think about the importance of English as a univesal language nowadays. My favorite one is the policeman at the very end.

1) Watch the video.
2) Write a comment answering these questions:
A- Why do you like English? or Why are you studying English?
B- What are the advantages of learning English today?
3) Don't forget to write your name at the end of your comment.

C U next class and... Remember!!! Don't be shy.. just try!
Miss Yesica
