  2. All the topics are interesting, but i think for working them it`s necessary to know how operate the computer because if the user cann`t manage the equipment it`s imposible to work with these kind of helps.
    On the other hand, the topic that most i liked is "multiple intelligences" because this lesson allows learners to acquire and practice the English knowledge through different manners such as:kinetic, music, art and other types of intelligences doing the learning process more agreable.

  7. Hi, First I want to thank for the wonderful web page we had the chance to check.

    About the lesson plans I think that they are extremily useful for us to improve our labor as ESL teachers, since they offer us another and a fresh view of planning work.

    I really liked the advice they give, in one of the lesson plans, for working on questions. I realized that teachers are not the ones who can make questions always, students can do it, too.

    Thanks,
    yours, Robeiro.

  17. Profesera Hola, soy Isabel Ararat, Respecto a esta clase de actividad los estudiantes Deben manejar las estructuras gramaticales en forma bien clara, yo comenzaría con cuentos muy cortos IR Y así Aplicando el cuestionario Sugiere usted que, luego de varias lecturas llegaría a la producción del ensayo, lo que no entiendo es dados Porque "no le gustaba" o será mala traducción. Creo que le falta preguntara porqué recomendaría el cuento o libro.

    Dear Virginia
    The activities are really very fun and enjoyable for using them with our students, I think they open creative minds and also the class turns dynamic and all students can participate actively so if we had technology at our working place it would be gorgeous, but in some way teachers must create different forms to give a class using all these tools that technology offers permitting students interact among them.

  25. Hello everybody
    Virginia, I liked the lesson plan page. The thing which caught mostly my attention was: DAYLY ENGLISH LESSON – HOMEBODY. This lesson includes a text that you can read and listen to, the meaning and use of the expression Homebody and the use of it. The text is about what Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian’s husband says about his wife (I like everything about show business). He says “she´s more of a HOMEBODY that a party girl”. (Homebody: Someone who prefers to stay at home; someone who doesn´t go out). I liked this topic because I am a Homebody. My husband and I prefer to stay and spent all the time at home relaxing, watching movies, talking, sharing each other, making crafts, turning our house in to a more welcoming place for us than to go out. So, we are a ‘homebody couple’.
    Virginia, Holly, Paul, dear colleagues: Are you homebodies? , What do you think about homebody people?
    By visiting this blog, I enjoyed, learned and practice my English.
    Thanks.
    God bless you!

  29. Hi teacher:
    The written exercises of activity 1 are very important for us because we must write again in english. Unfortunately, when I left the university and I began to work, I stopped writing, I did not write anymore and that`s very bad because in our labor We should produce texts, We should write about something or about our daily activities. I think this english training course is a good opportunity to practice again a written and spoken english.
    Thanks.

  32. The Reading “Didactics of English for Primary” gathers important ideas through Howard Gardner’s book “Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”, it invites to the teachers to offer a dynamic class with attraction and interest for everyone using whole potential of the students beginning with new activities, wake up positive emotions, including opportunities for smile, combining the five representative systems: see, hear, touch, smell and taste, be conscious that is normal to have different learning’s styles and different shapes to see and understand the world.
    This theory let us beside, think it’s time to do some important changes into curriculum structure, value all fortresses in students and give them the opportunity to development themselves through every their intelligences. By the way, will be activate the two hemispheres of the brain and the learning will be more effective for every students in the class.

  36. dear Virginia, this experience has been wonderfull.

    I`m very happy because i expected this oportunity for a long time. I want to improve my english, I want to learn many new things and I know that with all of these tools I have new possibilities in my classroom. thank you for this opportunity.

    These exercises are very important because with them i can share very funny spaces with my students. In the last class we read about the climate ( are we changing our climate?) It was great, now they feel that they can speak using some vocabulary and they express their oppinions about the topic. we are happy.

  37. dear virginia I'M VERY HAPY FOR THIS OPORTIUNUTY, THANKS SO MUCH

    To the teaching learning process of a foreing languge is very important to know the internal finctions of the brain and how it is able to organice information, to processd and produce communication.
    as teacher it is relevant to ditiguish how many students in class are are more visual than others or why there are students learning easily if the are stimulate by different ways. that's because teachers must be attentive to the students in order to prepare material acording to their needs and personal abilities they have.

  38. HI TEACHER VIRGINA.
    I REALLY ENJOY THE ENGLEH CLASS EXERCISES IT`S A DIFERENT WAY TO LAERN ENGLISH, WHEN I BEGAN TO STUDY LANGUAGES THERE WERE NOT THESE USEFUL TOOLS EITHER TO LEARN AS WELL AS TEACHING ENGLIH CLASS. I THINK THAT THE STUDENTS FROM THE CITIES HAVE MORE OPORTUNITIES TO LEARN IT IN AN EASILY WAY SO WE AS TEACHERS HAVE TO GUIDE THEM.

    If in our schools have internet service, the activities shown here can serve us to motivate our pupils to do them and get self practice, I think these activities change the classroom environment.

  46. Teacher Virginia.

    I have been watching the lesson plans, and I found a lot of intersting aspects that are fucussed on different topics of the English teaching.

    I think that I need more time to go deep into the web page in order to see the way how I can integrate some of the strategies offered there to my English teaching practice.

    I really liked aspects in the page like games, printables, videos, tests, grammar topics, daily lesson- homebody, and any other themes that this page offers us. I mean, here there are lots and lots of things that I can do to improve the English teaching. I hope I will be able to use the tools that you show me. thanks a lot.
