Try to do this exercise for some listening practice.

Just follow the instructions:

First, listen to the recordings one by one and match them with one of the six pictures you'll find.

Later, you can listen to the six recordings again while you read them, so that you can check pronunciation and learn new vocabulary connected to this topic.

WELCOME (YEAR 2008-09)

I was once told the first day of class sets the tone for the rest of the term and I think that to get a good start, three important tasks should be done:

1st: giving information about the course

2nd: getting to know each other, trying to create an open friendly classroom environment. Do you think we will be able to create a participative and communicative group altogether for the rest of the year?

3rd: setting course expectations and standards. I'd like to know what you expect from the course. As for me, I would like to stimulate your curiosity about topics that will be covered during the term and to have fun while learning a lot (both things can go hand in hand!)
What about you? I would like you to list the goals you hope to achieve by taking this course. List, for example, three to five goals about knowledge, skills, interests, methodology, or attitudes... and we can discuss about them next day in class!

Let's see if after knowing all these things and working hard, we can get cloud nine with our English!

SAYING GOODBYE

That's it!... We've just finished!... Time goes by really fast, doesn't it?
And Martix wants to say goodbye as well... Listen to her message.

Below, you will find a picture: the 4th year group. All of us made an effort and chose English, rather than a siesta!

MAKING THE VOICE-OVER

Some students from the 4th year group created the voice-over of a TV commercial: they were supposed to be the narrators or characters in the advert. They did two versions: a positive and a negative one.
It took very little time and I think that everybody had fun when doing it... so here's the result.

See version one:



See version two:




In case you are curious and you want to know what the original advert was like, click below, where you'll find the commercial we worked with:

Theodora Foundation (Clown Doctors)

I am sure that everybody has sometimes heard of clown doctors, but actually... how many of you met one?
This year, there is a clown doctor with us (with the pre-intermediate group). Her name is Sabela Amado Rojo and we interviewed her so that we could learn a lot about her unusual job.
She's working for Theodora Foundation, a Swiss organisation that brings fun and laughter to children in hospital. If you want to learn more about Theodora (their objectives, history, hospitals, staff and clowns, etc.), click here.
