EF podcast

15.6.10

Hi guys,
The world cup has already started and Brazil has just won against North Korea…but my promised class about the world cup is not even near to be finished. I think I´ll just drop it. There are thousands of readymade lessons about soccer online, so if you google I´m sure you´ll find one.
However, I have something to share with you guys, I´ve found another interesting youtube channel: EFpodcast. Although the movies can be a little bizarre and quite not realistic, you can use some to illustrate grammar points.
It´s sure worth a visit. 

Hot English magazine

11.6.10

Hi there guys,

Brazilians are familiar to a magazine called SPEAK UP (that I really like) but unfortunately they don´t publish a lot of material online for us teacher to use in our classes.
So, while I was looking for some interesting material I found this magazine: http://www.hotenglishmagazine.com which gives the opportunity to subscribe for online lessons for free with audio. I loved it!
I hope you enjoy it too.

Best wishes,

PS: I´m still working on that class about the world cup! J

The daily english show

2.6.10

Hi guys,

I was preparing one of my classes, about the world cup (I´ll share with you next week), and as I was looking for a listening activity for it I found a great youtube channel for ESL classes.
I liked it because the hostess looks really cool and this is something we have to consider when teaching teenagers.
They have many topics and it´s great because you can use just a part of it during your class just to illustrate a topic.
I personally liked the video about lady Gaga´s song telephone, one because it´s very hype and the teens will love it and second because there are some pretty nice structures to work with them such as: as … as , everything but…, what does it have to do to with…
I hope you enjoy it!

Love,
