ENGLISH FOR ALL

 1- Sorround yourself by English. Try to listen to English as much as possible: people, TV, radio internet, etc. 2-Don't be afraid to make mistakes when speaking as mistakes are part of the learning process. Concentrate on communication.  3-Make the most of your opportunities to speak English: native speakers, Skype, specific forums, teachers... 4- Don't forget the other skills (reading and writing) as they area a great source of grammar and vocabulary. 5-Stick to simple structure if you are not confident enough. When speaking, it is easy to make mistakes. 6- Record yourself to listen to your voice speaking in English. It will help you assess your progress, particulary in terms of pronunciation. 7-Learn new structures and vocabulary and make a conscious effort to use them for the first time. 8-Ask your interlocutor to repeat or tell them you don´t understand. They will understand. 9-Learn from your mistakes and keep in mind that learning a new language is a life-long process.

  “Cual es la realidad de los estudiantes que estudian inglés” Se exponen los resultados de un proyecto de investigación en el aula como estudio de caso, en el que se indagó a un grupo de estudiantes por situaciones vividas en las clases de inglés. Se identificaron en ellas sus quejas y sus expectativas; se implementó un taller total (Egg, 1999) a fin de reconocer dichas situaciones. El tratamiento dado a la información recogida en las quejas y expectativas de los estudiantes, que consistió en el análisis crítico del discurso (Van Dijk, 2003) y su interpretación desde la pedagogía y la Teoría del Reconocimiento (Honneth, 1997), permitió revelar, más allá de los motivos por los cuales se quejaban, las características de la clase de inglés esperadas por los estudiantes, relacionadas con algunas categorías didácticas y las cualidades de los docentes de esta área conexas con el profesionalismo, la calidez y la interacción. La ausencia o escasez de tales características y cualidades esp...

 - Increase your confidence Overcoming the insecurity that comes with speaking English at the beginning of the learning process is an act of courage. And you will see how that courage is also recognised by those around you. - It will open your mind Learning English and understanding other people will also help you understand the world and the reality around you from a different perspective. Speaking a language and being part of a certain culture implies seeing the world in a concrete way. - You will master the international language - Multiply your job prospects We already know that Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world, but it is rarely spoken outside of China.

Watching series and films (in the original version with English subtitles), listening to music (reviewing the lyrics), ...

When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher (whose nam e I won't quote) used to come into class shuffling, and mumble quietly while performing experiments we didn't understand. He would get angry when we lost interest and started talking, or if someone asked a question that he was supposed to have already answered. If I look back now, I am sure he was a very competent chemist, and probably passionate about this branch of science , but he was not good at connecting with students or making the subject relevant to us. I admit that we were probably not the most attentive or motivated students either; I gave up chemistry as soon as I could. Being a good teacher of any subject requires certain skills, but what are the characteristics you should look for in an English-speaking one? After talking to current and former students, a nd based on my own experience of language learning, I consider what a good English language teacher is: - Someone who knows how to do their job - Someon...
