Thrusday, December 21st, 2017

That day was our last day together so it was a special occasion to say “bye bye”. We have spent four years together so it was difficult for us say goodbye.

We went to a different class and we spent part of the class with the second course of our degree. Then we went to our normal class and the teacher explained us the exam and solved our doubts. Finally we were talking about our expectations and one of our classmate said a few words of farewell.

That day we learnt about rhymes and we learnt the difference between rhymes and limerick:

·        Rhymes - with specific concept, there is a specific topic

·         Limerick - crazy things.

TEAPOT

I am a teapot
Short and stout;
This is my handle
And this is my spout.

When the water’s boiling
Hear me shout;
“just lift me up
And pour me out.”

Thrusday, December 7th, 2017

That day we learnt about limericks. We did an activity which consisted in creating our own limerick.  

Why is it good or positive? Because…

- It´s like a song

- Rhythm helps you to learn new words.

This was my limerick:

There was a wonderful book,

that at home I used to look,

“read it” said my mother

“go out” said my father

But I decided to cook.

1. Interdisciplinary vision.

2. First foreign language curriculum.

- Learning foreign languages is especially relevant.

- Multicultural and multilingual context. When you learn a language you don’t only learn a language, you learn the culture and the context.

In the curriculum you can found this element: objectives, competencies, contents, teaching methodology, standards and assessable learning, assessment criteria.

In addition we had to an activity. To develop the activity we had to make pairs, the teacher gave us some children´s activities and we had to find competences in each activity. Finally we had to upload the activity to moodle.

For homework we had to look for the three main underlying principles of the law and summarize the content in a mind map. 

Wednesday, September 27th, 2017

I remember perfectly that day because we discussed about a really important question: 

What is needed to be a teacher?

Then we talked about education and we discussed about if changes in laws are good or bad, especially for students. Between other things in this lesson I learnt the meaning of welfare. 

Thursday, September 21st, 2017

In general that day we talked about this three questions:

1. Do you think there is an ideal way to teach a foreign language?

2. Do you remember your foreign language lessons when you were at school? Can you tell us about them?

3. Do you think that the number of years you have studied a foreign language are in the line with your level of that foreign language?

Then we had to answer the questions giving our own opinion. Personally I really like this lesson because I think we learnt a lot of new vocabulary and content about foreign language and we learnt how speak about that.  

Wednesday, September 20th, 2017

That day the teacher did the presentation of the subject. First of all she introduced herself and then she asked some interesting question to know more about ourselves.  The previous year some of our classmate were out of Spain, in an Erasmus, so this exercise permitted know more about them.
