Welcome to HAVE FUN WITH ENGLISH

I would like to welcome all students at the EOI Pontevedra to a blog where they will find a lot of information about the school together with a wide range of activities to practise and improve their English. I´m sure most of them will find the activities in the blog both amusing and enjoyable! Hope you learn a lot... and please, let me know if there is anything you want me to include!!

SURVEY RESULTS

Here you can see an overview of the results of the class survey you did last week. All your answers have been gathered here for you and me to analyse them and enhance our learning experience. As for me, I've just realised I need to slow down my classes a little bit, so thanks for the hint! I promise I will try!

And what about you? What is your conclusion from the results? Please give us your opinion in the comments section below.

Thanks a lot for participating!!

Have you ever been to a juke joint? Have you ever wanted to? Do you like art with a touch of European and African styles? Do you like your music like your cocido-fresh, hot, and soulful?

If so, please come to the Assembly Hall this week and learn more about the fantastic era of the Harlem Renaissance where music and art flourished in the booming diverse community of Harlem. 

Conference by Jarrett MacDowell, our language assistant, Thursday 23 at 18.30 or Friday 24 at 10.30.

I and my intensive intermediate English students won't miss it!

MAKE YOUR CLASS ENJOYABLE WHEN LEARNING THE PARTS OF THE BODY

As a student I heard that the main purpose of a class is to learn, but that doesn't necessarily mean it must be boring. Learning and enjoying at the same time can be possible when students have the right attitude and motivation. As a teacher, I always try to make my classes enjoyable. That is why there is an activity that I keep doing every year with my Intermediate 2 students when it is time to learn the body parts. Year after year, they get so involved in it that totally forget the sense of time and, best of all, they learn the parts of the body without even noticing it!!

Here is a very good example of how fun English learning can be!! Enjoy!!

HELP ME IMPROVE MY CLASSES!!

As a teacher, it is very important for me to think twice often and consider whether my classes are effective enough and whether my students are working hard. That is why I would like you to fill out the evaluation form below. It will help us both, my students and me, to realize if the job done is efficient and if our level of excellence is improving. Let's revise our performance in class!!

Remember that answers are totally anonymous so do not be afraid to complete the questions listed below. I would really appreciate it. Your deadline is Friday 17 and the questionnaire results will be published then.

On the school website you will also find a questionnaire to give us your opinion about the school. You can click here if you want to participate!.

Thank you so  much in advance for collaborating!!
