YOUR OPINION COUNTS!


We did lots of regular activities connected with language learning this year. We followed a textbook, did exercises in the workbook and you had grammar tests, too!

We also did something different, we worked with the so-called ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies). As regards these tools, you could get in touch with students from La Plata city and interchanged opinions and experiences in two chat sessions. You also opened your own blogs and published interesting posts and last, but not least, you worked together in this blog, answering intelligent
questions asked by students from Brazil about our country.

I'd like to have some kind of feedback now. It would be fantastic if you could say, in a few words, what you think about this last experience. You can do it directly here, in this post.

  • Hi, people!
    My opinion about what we've done during this year is that it has been great.
    Marina has showed us that there are many different ways of learning, not just reading books and memorizing theory. This year has been different from the rest, we've communicated with children our age from La Plata and Brazil, and we've exchanged our opinions about some topics. This allowed us not only to speak in English but to learn about other cities and countries.
    Apart from this, we have had a great time this year, we've laughed together and we've acted as if we were a big family, so I think this project worthed our effort =)
    Well, that's what I think.
    Thank you for everything, miss!
    I hope to see you next year!

  • Hi everybody!
    In my opinion working and exchanging ideas, knowledge and information is something different, original and, definitely, great!
    Sometimes it was hard to do all the exercises, but, in the end, we realizaed we could learnt even more English than using always a book, thst's why now we are able to describe some parts of the Brazilian culture and new web sites hihihi
    I hope this comment is OK, remember we are on holidays and our brains don't work very well
    kisses

  • This year we had the opportunity to do something different.
    Our teacher of bilingual, showed us that Internet is not only a way of entertainment. It´s also a learning tool.
    That´s why we created a class blog, and our own blogs; where we could resolve the exercises she gave us and give our opinions about different topics.
    Meanwhile, we shared this experienced with pupils from La Plata city and Brazil. We also had the opportunity to chat with La Plata´s students.
    To sum up: IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!

  • In my opinon this project was a very good idea. It was another way to learn English, in this case with a computer, through blogs, other websites and chatting with kids from other schools, instead of using the typical books.

    Through this project we could know more about the kids at school in La Plata the thing he likes to do in his spare time, as they're doing in school, they will do on vacation, among other things and the children of Brazil, on where they live, they like to eat and think about football.

    The truth I liked a lot and I'd like to do next year.

    Best wishes,
