Making progress

Some times our students have the feeling that their English is not improving.

Mariaje, one of my International Trade 1 students showed us this video of Nadal and Federer reading Kiplin’s poem “IF”. Comment with your students Nadal and Federer’s pronunciation. What could he improve?

Read the poem

Afterwards, I looked for a more recent video of Nadal speaking English. Do you notice any difference? What can you do to improve your English?

Ban Bossy Campaign

HAVE YOU SEEN THE BAN BOSSY CAMPAIGN? IT WAS TRENDING TOPIC #BANBOSSY!!

When a little boy asserts himself, he's called a "leader". Yet when a little girl does the same, she risks being branded "bossy". Words like bossy send a message: don't raise your hand or speak up. By middle school, girls are less interested in leading than boys - a trend that continues into adulthood. Together we can encourage girls to lead.

What is it like in your school? If you want more ideas for your class visit the Ban Bossy website by clicking on the picture.
