FIND SOMEONE WHO... is the title of the activity I used during this week. I tool this exercise from: ESL-galaxy.com

The activity that I used could be used to students from 3rd to 4th level without problem. The part that I liked the most of this activity is that the activity involves speaking, writing and listening. Honestly I recommend the web site where I got my exercises; in the web site we can find a lot of activities and extra material for our students.

I felt that this week was very difficult for me. I read a lot about material for students. About the readings I liked the one that mentions that listening and speaking are as important as listening and writing. What I learned this week is where to get authentic material for students. ESL-galaxy.com is a web-page where anyone can find interactive material for students and also to practice himself or herself.

  1. HI, ulises...
    I have already checked this page, and I agree with you,involves the speaking skill. Let me tell you what I learnt about this week, althoug the readings were too long, were very interesting isn`t it? I realized how important is develop our skills, this is very important because as a students, and as a future teachers we need tools that make easier the learning of english. In those readings I learnt about the use of aunthentic materials for improve skills like listening, and speaking,we can find several activities for practice.
    I think this is great, what it you think about it?.

  3. Hi Mis Antonio

    The main reason why I recommend this web-page is because it contains activities that involve more than one learning skill. For example, a reading is not just a reading, it can involve a little of speaking and maybe a little of listening. This is the reason why I think this page is useful for teachers. Another thing that I liked is that the hand outs have many ways to use them. If I’m using a hand out that could have another approach, I can change it and manipulate it.
