Teachers doing Research

 These two short videos by Dr. Rebolledo clearly show the key importance of Latin-American teachers conducting their own researches.

What's your opinion?

Have you learnt anything that surprised you? What? Why?

Can you establish any connections between these two videos and the ideas discussed in class? Which one/s?

Let's start our enlightening debate! 💬

Open Educational Resources

 This exceptional website offers a truly public digital library with tons of Open Educational Resources for our own classes. Personally, OER Commons is one of my favorite sites online. 💥💯

Do you use Open Educational Resources when you teach? Why?

The Writing Process

Certainly, writing is one of the most difficult language skills to develop as learners. Thus, taking into account the stages of the writing process is essential any time we have to write a piece in English. Do you agree? This interactive infographic, which I've designed with Genially and I'm using with my students at college, portrays these key stages and some useful techniques. Also, you can access the extra video and the whole OER book I've considered to design this teaching resource. I hope you find this infographic helpful too!

 

The Power of Language

 This outstanding TED Talk by Lera Boroditsky shows how language strongly influences our thoughts. Without a doubt, this is a must-watch video for every language teacher. What do you think?
