Sample of work- Letter

I am particularly proud of this sample of work. It comes from a learner that has only started the lessons in September, one hour per week. The learner is 15 years old, bilingual (Portuguese/English), and currently home educating and preparing for taking GCSEs in June 2018. It is the first time the student is taking Spanish lessons and started as a complete beginner.

What I really like in the letter shown below is the accuracy. The language is appropriate for the situation and purpose of communication. The learner uses what learns in other subjects (i.e. English lessons) and applies this confidently.

Esperamos conocerte en el próximo verano.

Hasta pronto,

Top 10 tips for using Skype in the language classroom

Here is the official definition: "Skype is a little piece of software that lets you make free calls to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world.  In addition, you can use Skype to chat with other people, send files, make conference calls, video calls, and more - all over the Internet." What is Skype education? A free and easy way for teachers to open up their classroom. Meet new people, talk to experts, share ideas and create amazing learning experiences with teachers from around the world. MY EXPERIENCE Last year I was invited to teach Spanish to a grade 12 class (18-19 years old) in a High school in Texas via skype from my home in London. My aim with this project was to create  a list of do's in collaboration with a classteacher. This is what we came up with, our list of Do's:  1. share a collaborative doc that you can access at anytime. 2. take your time to test video and audio. 3. start sessions with a short introductory game or iceb...

After a few weeks and attempts to use my iPad in the Primary classroom I learned: -Generally children get too excited and all want is to touch or be near the iPad. Some groups got distracted by technology and lost focus on the learning intention of the task. -children need to interact first with a physical tool: ie such as a wooden clock before trying to use a clock with the iPad. -Child age doesn't seem to be a concern for using technology. Year 1 groups (4 years old) responded really well to an app and played a talking game with the iPad with great success. SO.. I have started to use my iPad in the classroom for the ONLY purpose of recording the children's work digitally. And it works.. The Classroom atmosphere has changed and kids really work hard because they know I will take a pic at the end of the task. Try it!  Finally, I have created a gmail account so that my KS2 students can send me their home work via email. Also, something a learned is that mlearni...
