Life Stories-Autobiographies

We are all unique and each of us has something special to say. All it takes is writing it down. This is an opportunity to tell your own story, in your own words, growing up, childhood memories, accomplishments, friends, or maybe the love of your life.
"As we grow older and wiser, we enjoy reflecting on times gone by. Indeed, you have probably felt the desire to tally up your accomplishments in life" Footfalls echo in the memory... T.S. Elliot

Read your peers´ autobiographies and send them comments here. Remember to complete the sentence "I liked/didn´t like this task because ...."

Welcome to our class blog

My dearest students,
I am so happy with all the interest, enthusiasm and commitment that you have shown in our English class in the few weeks we have been together. I am sure we will have achieved important goals by the end of the semester. Why a class blog if we have posterous already? Well, we will use this blog to publish important links or information for all the class. It is better to have a space to keep all our posterous addresses than having them in a word document.

Tips for Successful Language Learning Learning

• Enjoy your learning because the ability to enjoy is the key to effective learning.
• Take every opportunity to use the language. Talk as much as possible and interact with others.
• Expose yourself as much as possible to the language you are learning. The more you read or listen to the foreign language, the faster you will learn it.
• Be (or become) an extrovert person. Participate. Jump in, ask when you don't know. Experiment, learn to develop guessing strategies and be willing to make hypotheses.
• Make mistakes. Learning is process of constantly making mistakes.
• You, the learner, are the most important factor in the language learning process. Success or failure will be determined by what you yourself contribute.
• Be your own teacher. Develop your own strategies, figure out what works for you - taking notes outside of class, mnemonic tricks, talking to yourself, etc.
• Teach what you learn. One way to increase your own language use is to teach what you have learned to someone else.
• Be prepared for frustration. Interacting with others in another language can be a humbling experience. Increasing one's proficiency in a second language and culture take both time and concentrated effort.
• Be observant. Keep your eyes and ears open. Much of what you need is going on around you.
• Use memorization. Look for routines, fixed or formulaic chunks of language you can use over and over, bits of songs or plays, etc.
• Go with the flow. Do not rely on rules or explanations to the exclusion of keeping things moving. Develop your ability to paraphrase rather than lapse into silence.
