In my opinion, exams are highly stressful.However,I think they are really necessary.Before an exam, I need to read and summary all the texts.It's crucial to be present in every class and read the material beforehand,otherwise I feel lost throughout the explanation or discussion .I find it very useful to study with a partner in order to discuss any doubt.At least, these are my strategies.

My baby

After reading (again) about FLA, I started paying more attention to my son's utterances. He can definitively understand more than what he actually produces.  He is in the 'two-word stage' and he can communicate with phrases like: 'Yes, please' or 'Thank you, mom'. Besides, I enjoy listening to him while he tries to produce a new item that calls his attention. He's so cute! I cannot help talking to him in a motherese way!

Hello everyone!!! After reading and discussing in class about First Language Acquisition, I want to share with you this brief video which summarizes some important concepts.I hope you enjoy it!! Noelia

Hi! I've found this great video to work on Gerunds and Infinitives. I'm planning to use it with my secondary students. Then I will let you know how things worked out.

Individual Task, page 35, Daiana Corvalan

Step 1

Look at newspaper advertisements applying for a job. Identify key words  (vocabulary related to jobs)

Step 2

Read an applying e-mail in response to one of the previous advertisement. Write an e-mail using the same model but use your personal information.

Step 3

Read the different applying e-mails in response to the job advertisements then match the e-mails with the newspapers ads.

Step 4

Re-read the e-mails and identify the style (formal or informal) and use cue words to write sentences (responsible,tidy, punctual, outgoing, hardworking)

Step 5

Information gap role play. Student A plays the part of a potential employer who is looking for a new assistant and student B and C apply to the same interview.

Step 6

In groups, some students will create 'companies'. They will describe basic information about the company they work for and what kind of employee they are looking for. The rest of the class will have to write their CV, and then move around the classroom to have interviews with the different companies.
