Fourth class

Hi there!!

Today we've had our fourth class. We started with Hector's presentation on how he teaches pronunciation in primary school. Very interesting work Hector!

Then we worked on the questionnaire on teaching and learning styles.

For next class you have to:

• create a gmail account (if you don't already have one)
• do the quiz on teaching styles on page 236, chapter 13 (the chapter you had to read for today). Then post a comment in the blog with a reflection on the result you got in the quiz.
• read chapter 1 on TBLT, by David Nunan

And remember: next Thursday we'll meet at 6 pm, at Hector's place, Colón 815, 1°E. Bring your netbooks!!

Have a great weekend and, in particular,

We worked on:

• The properties of Language (Can you name them? Test yourself...)

For next class, read (or re read) chapter 13 by Cook....

And next class, we have the first presentation... I'm really looking forward to it!
