COLLOQUIAL FORMS IN SONGS
Colloquial language can be defined as informal spoken language.
Today we are learning to identify and use the colloquial contractions “wanna, gotta, and gonna.”and other informal words you can hear in some modern songs. You should definitely not use them in formal written English (reports, research papers, formal e-mails, etc), in which case, you need to spell them out in long form. But learning to use them correctly in your speaking and writing will make your communication much more effective.
Here is a short video that shows some colloquial forms in different songs:
As an extention activity, you can do more exercises about English informal language in the following link: English informal language

FILM ENGLISH
I am devoting this post to talking about the website called Film English.
This site promotes the innovative and creative use of film in English language teaching and learning. All of the lesson plans revolve around the use of video and film to teach English. The lessons promote critical thinking in the language classroom, and encourage learners to reflect on values while learning a language. There are different levels and themes.
I will include the video clip of the activity called Curiosity and the link to its lesson plan:

WORD CLOUDS
I will devote this post to talking about the uses of “word clouds”
for teaching English.
But first, I will describe briefly how to create word clouds and cloud narratives.
You can use Wordle which is a programme for generating “word clouds” from any texts that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You just have to click on " create your own " section, paste the text you choose and then you can change the words in the clouds with different fonts, layouts, and colour hints. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to use as you wish.
Therefore, talking about some applications of word clouds for teaching English could be:
use them to introduce or revise vocabulary and grammar, to engage students to create and tell stories, and students can even create their own word cloud or cloud narrative to show and present in the class. In short, using word clouds in the classroom is a creative way of teaching which helps to motivate students to learn.
Finally, I will include an example of a word cloud I created from one of my texts:

APRENDIZAJE COLABORATIVO EN EL AULA
![]() |
| Orientación Andújar |
Dedico esta entrada para exponer unas pautas que pueden fomentar el trabajo cooperativo y colaborativo en clase.
El trabajo cooperativo y colaborativo para la realización de tareas y proyectos tiene muchas ventajas; por ejemplo que los alumnos aprenden como ayudarse, habilidades sociales, aprender a aprender, aprendizaje más autónomo, a resolver conflictos...
Pero para que la dinámica del grupo funcione bien, es necesario tener en cuenta unas pautas:
1. Una interacción directa con todos los miembros del grupo que fomente buena comunicación.
2. Una interdependencia positiva. Es decir, cada miembro del grupo tiene que confiar y depender del trabajo que están realizando sus otros compañeros.
3. Responsabilidad individual. Pero cada uno tiene la responsabilidad de hacerse cargo de su tarea adjudicada en el grupo.
4. Asignación de papeles: también es necesario que cada miembro del grupo asuma un papel diferente para coordinar, supervisar y presentar el trabajo realizado.
Con estos aspectos bien definidos en el grupo, hay más posibilidades de que el proyecto ó la tarea se realicen con éxito y productividad.
Para profundizar en este tema, incluyo los siguientes enlaces:
1. Cooperative and collaborative learning in the classroom
2. Consejos para aprendizaje cooperativo.
3. 5 ways to increase success in group work
4. Proyecto colaborativo Infoeducagrafías ( fuente para la infografía )
5. Orientación Andújar trabajo cooperativo
Para finalizar, muestro la siguiente infografía que enseña los cuatro roles que pueden desempeñar los alumnos mientras están trabajando en grupo.

ENGLISH AROUND THE WORLD
The activity I am proposing today is related to the importance of learning English and to make students realise this fact so that their motivation to learn English increases.
Before watching the presentation: " English around the world ", the teacher brainstorms some ideas from the students by asking questions such us:
- How many people speak English around the world ?
- What is the difference between a second language and a foreign language?
- Do you know the countries where English is an official language ?
- Give 4 reasons why English is considered to be an international language...
Finally, they write an essay titled the importance of learning English. ( 150-200 words ).
They can also use the information in the following link: English speaking countries

CITY LIGHTS
Warm-up /Cool down activity.
The activity I am suggesting today can be used at the beginning or at the end of a lesson. Duration: 10-15 minutes.
It can be used to either introduce or revise vocabulary related to cities, different buildings, places to visit and do sightseeing or activities you could do at dawn,in the morning, at night....
To begin with, the students watch a short video. The time lapse technique applied to that video, allows the students to capture different moments, places and contrasts of light and darkness .Then, the teacher can start a brainstorming activity to learn or revise the vocabulary suggested earlier after watching the video.
Highly recommended.

POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS
Presentations
I am going to devote this post to power point presentations to teach English.
I have found this webpage with lots of presentations about grammar, pronunciation, culture an other aspects of English language. They are quite useful provided that you modify them according to your own teaching ideas. Besides, most of them are downloadable. There are different topics, for different levels and academic groups.
I include in this post the source link for the webpage and an example of one powerpoint presentation.

WONDERS IN THE SKY
Warm-up and/ or Cool-down activity.
La actividad que voy a mostrar se puede realizar en los primeros 10 minutos de la clase como "warm-up" exercise o los últimos minutos de cualquier clase como "cool-down" activity.
Es una actividad sencilla que activa la creatividad de los alumnos y su participación tanto al principio o al final de la clase.
Los alumnos ven el video del vuelo de los estorninos , " starlings "que dura poco más de dos minutos.
Después se puede realizar un ejercicio de lluvia de ideas, " brainstorming ", realizando por ejemplo alguna pregunta de por qué vuelan de esa manera:
Why do you think they fly that way ? what is their purpose ?
En unos minutos se pueden ver temas como el trabajo en equipo, ayudarse en el peligro, protegerse del mal tiempo, encontrar un lugar para dormir...aprendiendo vocabulario nuevo.
Se puede realizar con todos los niveles, necesitando más ayuda y guía los niveles menos avanzados. Incluso los alumnos podrían hacer un pequeño trabajo de investigación sobre los estorninos como tarea en casa...

BREAKING NEWS
La página web de la que voy a hablar, me está resultado muy útil en la enseñanza de las cuatro destrezas a la hora de enseñar y aprender el Inglés: Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading.
Es una página que muestra diferentes noticias sobre diversos temas de actualidad y la correspondiente explotación didáctica de las mismas.
Cada noticia es tratada en diversos niveles de dificultad teniendo en cuenta las diferentes habilidades. Por ejemplo Los ejercicios de "Listening" se muestran en diferentes velocidades. Te puedes descargar el MP3 de cada nivel y velocidad. Es útil para tratar la diversidad en clase y fuera de clase. Ya que los alumnos pueden practicar los ejercicios auditivos en casa tranquilamente y afianzar su nivel.
La actividad del " Reading " también viene acompañada de diversos ejercicios de comprensión lectora, vocabulario y ortografía.
Yo he trabajado estas noticias con los alumnos de 1º y 2º de Bachillerato que han elegido la optativa del Ampliación.
Para este nivel, hay una actividad que incluye las cuatro destrezas, pero con la que se puede profundizar el Listening y el Speaking. Consiste en una mini lección de dos páginas: " a 2 page printable mini- lesson ". La gramática , el vocabulario es de un nivel intermedio/avanzado .
Incluyo un enlace a la página web y un ejemplo de lección para Bachillerato Ampliación.
