VERY IMPORTANT!

Hi there!!

As you probably know, the building where we usually have classes will be closed on Thursday. As we have our term test, I asked the secretary of the Institute, and she said we can use a classroom in the main building. So, we are meeting in school number 2 on Thursday for our term test.

Soon I will post the links to the rest of the feedback... but I wanted to tell you about the Thursday issue as soon as possible.

Thursday class

Hi there!!

Last Thursday we worked in groups on SLA. A crazy thing happened: I prepared a grouping activity with cards related to different rock bands...and as it turned out, as you picked the cards, you ended up grouped exactly as you were sitting!!

You worked on a questionnaire, and each group had to deal with a different theory.

Also, we reached an agreement on how the second term is going to be assessed. We will have a combination of evaluating activities. We will have a traditional second term test, but including only a few topics. Then, there will be the workshops you will have to deliver. And also, there will be a collaborative task involving the use of technology.

For homework, you should post something in your blogs. Free entry.

Next class we will finish dealing with SLA; we will have the feedback on the assignments on FLA and if there is time we will start working on leatning stlyes.

Well, that is all for the time being...

Back to work!!

Hi there!!

How are you? Enjoying this sunny weekend? I hope so!!

On Thursday we started working on Second Language Acquisition. We brainstormed factors that play a role in the process and we highlighed the differences between FLA and SLA.

For next class you have to read chapter 10 by Brown on Theories of Second Language Acquisition,; you have to add an entry to your blog related to either FLA or SLA (or both) and you have to get organized into four groups of four for the workshops you'll be in charge of in this second term.

Please remember it is important to respect deadlines. Last class the assignment on FLA was due, but not everybody handed it in.

Well...that's all for the time being!!

Winter break and others

Hi there!!

How are you? Enjoying the Winter Break in this amazing weather??

Just a few lines to remind you of the essay you have to write on First Language Acquisition:

Write an essay explaining the P and P model and FLA. Please use your own words. Make sure to include explanations of what priniciples are, what parameters are, how it is that children acquire language and what the main arguments are to support this model.

Remember that you must also read Pinker's chapter "Baby born in talking describes Heaven", which will contribute information and examples for your essay.

The due date is August 16th.

Well... that's all... you can continue resting now!! See you soon!!
