Welcome to your class blog


Dearest students,
Welcome to your class blog! I have been using blogs in my English classes as an extension of our classroom. Blogs have become an important space to listen to each other. Large classes make it sometimes difficult for everyone to have a chance to express him/herself. So, let’s take advantage of this blog as a space to say all we did not have time to say in class, to express opinions and to share views.
Participation in this blog is another way of participation, another way of using your English and a way to expose yourself to the target language. Remember 90% of your learning depends on you rather than on your teacher or on the few hours a week you come to class.
Let's get started by sending your impressions about your group and the things we have done and/or learned in class so far? Say what you have or haven´t enjoyed.
I’m eager to hear from you!

  2. Hi!
    I'm really happy because of the way you teach. The class doesn't get bored and I like that. I would like more classes like the one that we had in the laboratory; I mean, practicing listening. :D

  3. Hi teacher María Elene!!
    I like your great idea for use this kind of resources for practice english. I think this way is innovative.
    I like try to speak in english in the class, because i need to express my ideas, and this is very difficult for me.
    I wouldn´t like sing, I prefer read, speak or -as a last resort- perform.
    well teacher, I have to do my homework...
    see you tomorrow.
    Pao.

  11. HI TEACHER

    In spite of this is my first English course formal, I think this is a great group, I‘ve enjoyed almost the larger part of the activities in class, mostly when you give us sweeties, im agree with the schoolmates that this is a new and great way to teach English, thank you teacher for treat us gladly.

    P. D. Can we will see often Top Cat? That is one of my favorite’s cartoons.

  12. hello everyone! our photos are very funny!
    I want to invite you to take capoeira and african culture classes!It will be:

    capoeira on tuesday and thursday at 3 o'clock

    african culture on tuesday at 2 o'clock


    both will de in the "Galeria Autonoma" next from the Che Guevara Auditorium in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters.

    The idea of this classes is that you can take it for very cheap price (voluntary pay)and you don't have to pay the higher cost of a normal class, but you must be responsable with you and with the rest of tha class.This work have been made for a group of people who are trying to change the idea of "expensive culture" since three years ago.


    See you
