ITip OF FEBRUARY: WHITESMOKE

We are about to finish February and I have not posted my ITip of the month yet! Too many things to do in my bucket list! So I have no choice but to work on a bank holiday to remedy the situation! This just can't wait.

I have already posted some other ITips on how to improve your writings: Kaizena or Grammarly to name but a few; however, I still think that my C1 students need more extra help on both grammar accuracy and spelling errors alike. That is why my ITip this month is WhiteSmoke, one of the best online proofreading software solutions. Ideal for students who suck at grammar! It is a tool that allows your grammar to become flawless!

It is affordable and highly accurate. The main drawback, however, as it compares to Grammarly, is that there is no free version. You can try out the 4-day-free trial and decide for yourself. The price you pay for the monthly subscription is lower than a McDonald´s Happy Meal!

HELP ME IMPROVE MY CLASSES!

As a teacher, it is very important for me to think twice and consider whether my classes are effective enough and whether my students are willing to learn with me!

That is why I would like you to fill out the evaluation form below. It will help us both, my students and me alike, to realize if the job done is efficient and if our level of excellence is improving. Let's revise our performance in class!!

Bear in mind that the answers are totally anonymous so do not be afraid to complete the questions listed below. I would really appreciate it. Your deadline is Friday 28 February and the questionnaire results will be published then. Fingers crossed!

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!! Your opinion counts!

ESCUELAS AMIGAS: WE NEED YOU!

Have you already found out what this shared project is all about? Last call for C1 students at both EOI Pontevedra and EOI Pamplona! We are about to take off! Welcome on board! Step one... introducing ourselves! 

Use your grid to tell us about you. Bear in mind we don't know each other, so what makes you... you! 

Then, follow your teacher's instructions to answer some of the videos. Let us know how the project is making you feel!

ESCUELAS AMIGAS: A TEAMWORK PROJECT

My C1 students are about to take part in an extremely exciting project built up by EOI Pamplona. Just a few weeks before Christmas I decided to embark on this joint adventure of collaborative work and teachers' cooperation:

 

As a result, I got in contact with Carlos, who also works in Pamplona, and we are both now trying to come up with ideas that might help us achieve a successful outcome by getting our students in touch!

It seems obvious that this project will bring real benefits for our students, including practising English outside the classoom, which has always been one of our main priorities, and getting to know other cultures and ways of learning.

Stay tuned for more info on how the project evolves. You will soon meet all of us and find out more on our final goal!

REPRESENTATIVES MEETING

There is no way my groups' representatives could miss out on this great opportunity to foster school relations and make their voices heard!
