Hello, my readers!
Monday, 13th & Wednesday, 15th March
As I had been already told about the didactic unit I was going to teach on the following week, I decided to spend some extra time working on it at the PC ROOM upstairs.
Tuesday, 14th March & Thursday, 16th March
On these days, I attended only B2.2 level (Group 11B) to closely see their improvement and learn about their learning styles for next sessions in which I will be in charge of them. Here, I am going to summarise what Roge did on both days.
READING: "How I stay calm" (p. 63)
Ss. watched a short VIDEO about giving presentations, and then completed the sentences on the exercise "Can you understand this film?"
THEORY: Distancing, also called hedging, appears fully explained on page 148, but the teacher decided to introduce this topic differently. Internet access was requiered on their mobile phones in order to play KAHOOT (8 multiple-choice sentences to fill in with the appropiate structures expressing distance from the given information). E.g. "there are believed to be many..." "It appears that there is..."
#WOW: BRAIN BREAK 👀
Each student has to write in capital letters on recycled sheet the following heading TELL US ABOUT... and then add some original statement, wrap it into a ball, toss it to a classmate three times, take one, and open it up. Think about your own experience and share it aloud with the person in front of you.
TEXTBOOK: A discoursive essay (p. 118). Speaking time in groups about the topic "Do smartphones really improve our lives?" Ss. were asked for argumenting some advantages and disadvantages in a balanced manner. To do so, they also read aloud two examples in favour an against from the book, at the end Roge corrected their pronunciation errors. Next exercises were aimed at differenciating between expression for adding supportive information and weighing up an argument.
As homework, ss. will have a week to hand in a composition on this topic. Thursday's session finished talking about rules introduced by the expression "I (do not) think..."

TUTORÍA 9:10h-10h: An A2.1 level student came to see her February exam and understand her mistakes.
Undoubtely, observing a department meeting was one of the best and most was an exciting moments from the whole insternship period and from which a training teacher is able to understand better how a school works from inside.
Besides, I could learn about the importance of coworking, and sharing ideas. The English Deptarment at EOI in Elche is composed by 21 teachers, half of the school staff. As you can imagine, there is a variety of different ages, favourite methods and personal opinions that do not always match at all.
I would like you to know the list of items on the head of department's agenda (Klara Seheult):

I would like you to know the list of items on the head of department's agenda (Klara Seheult):
- Approval of the previous minutes (aprobación del acta anterior)
- February examination results (exámenes de febrero)
- Final examination dates (fechas exámenes de mayo)
