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 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

Students compromised to practice the dialogue and i should be doing oral exams next week.

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.

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.

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.

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.
