Information

Dear all,

The new school year approaches and currently the situation is as follows: I will be taking only two forms this year, meaning that I will not be at school that often.

You can find me on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday in room 221 or in the methodical cabinet. I'm not sure about the consultation hours yet, but definitely in the morning.
I will be adding them to the menu on the right for your convenience.

Wishing you all a happy start of the season and hope we will be able to improve our level of language knowledge :)

Valentine's Day: Eco issues



- What is said about the roses imported from Kenya?
- How many roses were bought last year?
- Why could the roses grown in Holland be worse than those from Kenya?

What counts in the end? What had more weight for you?

Cultural Competence I

Every week I will be posting 4 statements or situations that are often confusing for the EFL students, but typical for the Anglophone world.
With each next set, I will be posting the answers to the previous one, so those of you who teach English as a foreign language (and perhaps as a second language) can make a sort of a weekly game for your classes.

1. When do you use the phrase "how do you do?" and what should you answer if someone addresses you like that?
2. In what type of situations should you use "sorry"?
3. What should be a typical reply to a compliment?
4. Why is everything offered just once in an English-speaking (especially the USA) country?

A Very Different Fairytale

Cinderella

It was raining heavily, and large drops of water were flowing down the window glass. Sometimes, a lightning could be seen, and after a while, thunder could be heard.

Cinderella was glumly watching the fire, and mumbling under her nose: “to the ball they went, huh? And they left me alone – what nonsense. Where’s that damn kettle, anyway?”

Suddenly, a bright light shone behind her, and a soft voice said: Read on...

Entertainment

The next topic we are going to cover is Entertainment.
I have my own plans for it, but I would also like to propose you something... maybe connected to being a teacher, or playing a teacher.

At the end of the lessons (starting Friday) each desk will present their common favorite English or American singer, saying 1-2 sentences about their career and biography (e.g. where born, when began to sing, best known singles).
This will allow you both practice a bit of reading, speaking, and presenting, but will also bring a bit of entertainment into the classroom.

I would need to know what you think of it until the end of Wednesday (at least 6 positive comments = song at the end of the lesson).
