A New English Course

2008-12-11T12:00:00.000-08:00

Hello,everybody!

Welcome to a new edition of Valme English courses. Remember that we will meet again on January, 8th, after the Christmas holidays. We will do the reading exercise I gave you today, so take a look at it if you can.

Important information: We have a section called My Delicious where you can see my bookmarks.

Welcome Back!

2008-02-18T02:07:00.000-08:00

Hello,everybody!
Next Monday we'll start a new edition of our famous English Courses for Valme Hospital Staff. We hope you'll join us.

Homework and exam

2007-06-27T10:58:00.000-07:00

Hello, everybody!

I'm writing to remind you of the homework (weather forecast) that some of you still have to hand in. You can leave it at Formación Continuada. There you will also find your end-of-year exam which you can leave at F.C., too, when finished. I wish you a very nice holiday!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

2007-06-14T09:02:00.000-07:00

What a wonderful way to finish a course, I got a book and lots of warm praise. I had a great time teaching you, you are such nice, eager-to-learn students. I can undoubtedly say this was the best course I have ever had. Now I am very busy marking my students' exams, but you will find the test we talked about as soon as I finish that task. I'll also tell you when to pick up (phrasal verb)the homework you gave me. Thank you again.

Change of dates

2007-05-27T10:01:00.000-07:00

Hello!
I guess you all know about this change, but here it goes, anyway: Next Wednesday (30th May) we won't have our class, because it's a local holiday. We'll see each other on Thursday, 31st May.

Come on!

2007-05-10T01:14:00.000-07:00

Jaime, Mª Carmen, Inma, Ana, Charo, Carmen, Juanma, Isabel, MªJosé (both): it's your turn. I need a volunteer for Monday, everybody has to do it. Please, give it a thought.

New activities

2007-05-07T03:37:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody!
Last Thursday, Manuel had a great idea: Everyday one of you will talk about a topic of your choice for about ten minutes. After that, we'll have some discussion on that talk and we will ask questions that the speaker will have to answer. I'm sure this will be great for improving your spoken English and your confidence, too. So everybody, start thinking what you are going to talk about. Today we'll decide who's next.

Keeping in touch

2007-04-26T01:13:00.000-07:00

Hello!
How is the "Feria" going? I'm sure you miss our English lessons. Well, don't worry, it will be Monday again very soon! Remember we'll meet on Monday, 30th April, and if you can't come that day, I'll meet you again on Wednesday and Thursday. I hope you are having a good time. Bye!

I think it's time to start in English. Here are some pictures from our last day, at the cafeteria and in the "meeting room" where we saw the films (or movies, as you prefer). I hope you'll enjoy them!

La Profe de Inglés

Primeros pasos

2007-01-26T02:26:00.000-08:00

Hola a todos:
He empezado este blog para que podamos practicar inglés aunque no estemos en clase. De momento, estoy empezando, así que os ruego que tengáis paciencia.
Os dejo enlaces para que podáis escuchar las canciones que hemos trabajado en clase, como Aquarius la de verdad, no la de Raphael.

.

¿Os acordáis de las dos canciones de Queen? Sólo he podido poner una. Sorry!

También podéis ver las letras completas:
