PANCAKE DAY AND THE 200th ANNIVERSARY OF CHARLES DICKENS´BIRTH
Following the programme of the course "Learning and Teaching English celebrations", yesterday Neda Milenova, teacher trainer and translator, talked about Pancake Day (that is celebrated on 21st february this year) and also about the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Charles Dickens.
Neda presented different and interesting activities as well as useful resources to teach students the origin and customs in the UK related to these festivities. Most of them were done in small groups in an interactive way, discusing them and adding new ideas and ways to adapt the activities to the students´age.
At the end of the session two of the participants gave talks about the celebration we dealt with in the previous session and that they have already carried on with their students, about Saint Valentine´s Day. Their presentations/materials are uploaded to the blog for this course that will be made public at the end of this activity.
Next 7th march we will talk about Saint Patrick Day and April fools´ Day. Don´t skip the class!!

Love, love, love...
"Love looks not with the eyes,
But with the mind." Shakespeare - Midsummer Night's Dream
Isn't it beautiful? Even if you don't like Valentine's Day, I hope you enjoy Shakespeare's words.
I have chosen this celebration because it is a universal topic and it's really motivating for our teenagers. They are willing to talk about their personal experiences and this way, they have the opportunity to develop and improve their oral skills.

MARDI GRAS AND SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY
As it was established in the programme of the course "Learning and Teaching English celebrations", on 8th february we dealt with "Saint Valentine's Day and "Mardi Gras".
The speaker, Thomas Walter Steele, one of the language assistants in the School of Languages in Córdoba, focused on different activities (pre-, during and post-activities) to teach English to our students through the cultural aspects of these celebrations.
The importance of input a student receives, the kind of activities more suitable for each stage and the intention of personalization (or reinforcement) in the post-activities were some of the issues we dealt with during this session of the course.
