IRIS 1415 TAPSD1-2 M13 TECHNICAL ENGLISH





3rd week September 2014

Handout on course presentation.
Personal introduction

Hi, my name's Mingo and I'll be your English teacher,
Please read the handout/information i've just given you and i'll give you a little/brief explanation in English, then in Catalan/Spanish.

As you can see the RA/objectives this course on Technical English are READING, LISTENING, SPEAKING and WRITING.

I'd like to emphasize that these are not the school objectives, or my objectives, these are regulations from the Generalitat; and we can accomplish them more or less but we have to go in that direction.

now, how are we going to turn you into active speakers ?

we'll try to do that with dialogues, that is, the most important thing of each two-page unit that can be applied to our goals, is the dialogue.

we'll read it and translate difficult expressions or the whole thing if you need it,
then we'll explain all grammar points, verb tenses, sentence structure, prepositions... in relation to that dialogue,

then we'll copy it,

and finally we'll practice it, listening and speaking, in pairs until you learn it.

you have two sessions, or three hours to do that, or more time if you need it,
once you've learnt it, call me and i'll do an oral test of your skills,

50 % of your final mark is going to be the average of your oral exams,
the other 50 % will be the portafolio.

- After explaining this in different languages, try it with one real dialogue, the first one,
- Try also the dialogues from Assimil method.

- Handout on Assimil methodology.

Emphasize that testing oral skills implies 15 exams per dialogue. it's a lot of work. i'll try to do it.

Nurse: Excuse me Dr. ...  I'm ... I'm a new ... here
perdoni- soc nou

Obstetrician: Hey ... What can I do for you? / How can I help you? 
com puc ajudar-li

N- I have these ... for Dr. Cho's patient. He wants Dr. Fabrizzio to take a look at them.
tinc aquests ... pel pacient del Dr. Vol que el Dr. F els faci una ullada

O- The ... He's on the first floor somewhere
esta al primer pis, en algun lloc,

N- Do you happen to know the actual ...? By any chance, do you know...?
sap exactament...

Do you know

O- No, but the ... in the lobby will.
No, pero... en el rebredor ho sabra

N- Ok, this is so confusing!
es tan confus

O- I know the feeling. you'll get used to it.
se com se sent, t'acostumaras

***

oral exams of those people who have learnt the dialogue

http://playarchetypes.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/all-my-loving-beatles-los-manolos-and.html

we started copying and translating All my Loving, next session, we'll sing along.

Jordi said we could bring over more songs with the lyrics and translation to sing along in the classroom,
and, in fact, one student already chipped in with one song: The Lemon Tree.

Anna has given me some notes and materials to draw some signs in english.
most of those signs were finished by Friday.

I promised them we'd go to the schoolyard because it was very hot but, finally, we couldn't, so I owe them one class in the schoolyard.

with one group, we watched my students of EI dancing All my loving, i'd like to show the other group.

fourth week  September 2014

We did our first oral exams, great!

Students compromised to practice the dialogue and i should be doing oral exams next week.
We still have to rehersal one lesson from the self-learning method.

Computer Room, tell students about the class blog and the possibility of anonymous opinions.

First week october

we start dialog 2,

http://playarchetypes.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/all-my-loving-beatles-los-manolos-and.html

4th week october,

we might as well start with third unit and dialogue since most people have already finished second dialogue.
we have this singing-along activity to start.
i gave the handout on Sinbad transcripts last week so we could as well wath the fragment.

there is this strike of students for tuesday, wednesday and thursday,

We started UNIT 3 with Listening 5 pg. 9. they copy it on their notebook with the translation,
i teamed them up in groups of four to help each other with the translation but they used their mobile applications to translate it, it was accurate enough, besides, google also provides the pronunciation so if they had ear phones, they could even practice LISTENING once more and SPEAKING.

24 october
TAPSD1. pg. 8. Room and Equipment, text written, translated and pronunciation given to students,
homework pg. 9, activity 4 and 9 for next day, october 29.

LISTENING of pg.9 activities 6 and 7, translated and pronunciation given to students.
homework next day. October 28. activites 4 and 9 in portafolio.
Besides, pronunciation exam of dialogue.

5th week of October

let's see if we can finish everybody's oral exams of unit 3 with this new possibility:
they can read silently each line, then raise up their eyes look at the schoolmate and say their bit, and proceed like this both characters of the dialogue each turn so they don't have to learn the dialogue by heart and concentrate more on pronunciation.

http://livescripts.blogspot.com.es/2011/11/karaoke-for-flt-purposes.html

songs.

These are warmers - my students translated the lyrics from Spanish to English and this justifies some singing in Spanish to losen up, to warn up and get ready for the English songs. Last time worked perfectly with Color Esperanza by Diego Torres included in an exam.

Coti - Nada de esto fue un error - nothing was a mistake


KARAOKE WARMER IN SPANISH

Write down the English translation under the vers in Spanish

NADA DE ESTO FUE UN ERROR

Coty:
Tengo una mala noticia 

no fue de casualidad

yo queria que nos pasara

y tu y tu

lo dejaste pasar

no quiero que me perdones

y no me pidas perdon

no me nieges que me buscaste

y nada nada de esto...



Coro:

Nada de esto fue un error 



Coty: 

Los errores nos eligen 

para bien o para mal 

no falle, cuando viniste 

y tu y tu 

no quisiste fallar, aprendi 

la diferencia entre el juego y el azar 

quien te mira y quien se entrega 

y nada nada de esto... 

Coro: 

Paulina: 

Tengo una mala noticia 

no fue de casualidad 

yo queria que nos pasara 

y tu y tu 

lo dejaste pasar 

no quiero que me perdones 

y no me pidas perdon 

no me nieges que me buscaste 

y nada nada de esto... 


Coro: 


Juliana Vanegas:

Los errores nos eligen 

para bien o para mal 

no falle, cuando viniste 

y tu y tu 

no quisiste fallar, aprendi 

la diferencia entre el juego y el azar



quien te mira y quien se entrega 

y nada nada de esto... 

Coro: 



Translation

Mistakes chose us
for good or bad,

I didn’t fail when you came over
and you and you
didn’t want to fail either

I learnt

Nothing was a mistake
I don’t want you to forgive me
and don’t say “sorry”
don’t deny you were looking for me

I’ve got bad news
It was not by coincidence
I wanted this to happen

you let it go

the difference between a game and chance

who looks at you and who gives to you


Coti - Donde estas corazon? - where are you honey?


Manolo Garcia - Pajaros de Barro - Clay birds.


With this one, i once designed a guided essay for my students of Spanish language, i'd like to translate it and turn it into a guided essay in English language.

Los Secretos - Dejame - Leave me!
