Enjoy learning English with a wide range of activities for foreign learners!!
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!!
In this loviest of seasons, I just wanted to wish you all a time of blessings and love. May the melody and spirit of the holidays fill your heart with peace and joy!
Happy Christmas! May this new year bring happiness and new goals and achievements!
Our library has opened its doors to our traditional "Café con Letras", which has become a classic speaking activity at school that both teachers and students love. I took advantage of this wonderful opportunity that the school library team gives us every year to move my students forward and get them talk about politics over a coffee and a nice snack.
It seems obvious that the issue was tough, so we tried to analyse the results of the elections in Andalusia by making some optimistic predictions on the future of the region. Some even dared to speculate about the future in Spain!
I would like to thank my students for their passion and motivation when doing this activity. It was really rewarding to find them going on with their discussions even once the class had already come to an end! This is what really makes teaching worth it! Arousing my students' interest and curiosity at the library tables has been a pleasure. That is why I keep going every year. In fact, I am already looking forward to our next "Café con Letras" experience!
Our students' association is back and they are already organizing amazing events at school. Next Wednesday, right after the dessert competition, they are holding a concert. Come and join us for some music fun before the holiday season!
Our school is getting ready for Christmas. We have already put up our Christmas tree at the entrance hall to welcome Santa!! That is why next 19 December we will be holding our traditional "Dessert Competition". Students may participate with their best recipes and the desserts will be paper judged. Winners will be notified on the sport! Then, all visitors may try the fabulous dishes as an anticipation of our long hoped for Christmas holiday.
Visit the school website to have a look at the competition terms and join us for a Christmas celebration at school!
Voicepods is a service that makes it super simple for anyone to create realistic text to speech in 8 voices (male, female and different accents). It even allows you to take real control of what your voice will sound like, adding pauses, spelling out how great things are or creating emphasis.
It is as easy as taking any written work and converting it to human-like audio. Using the handy voice control features will add the final touch!
I have already started using it in my classes. But it might also be a great tool for students to read-along and practice pronunciation and story telling.
