Dear students,
Even if you are on holidays, remember the most important way to improve for your APLE class is to listen as much English as you can. Try to practise a little bit of English every day and if you have the chance, speak English as well.
Let's go with the three compulsory tasks:
1.- Go to English Central. Your aim this time is to reach 7000 points. You can do it from March 19th to April 13th.
2.- Watch this video (Yes, I know it is really long, but also really interesting and not very difficult to understand) with Lady Gaga and Ophrah Winfrey at Harvard University.
The task is simple: You must write 10 sentences said by Ophrah, 10 by Lady Gaga's mother and 10 by Lady Gaga together with their translation. Try to find meaningful, important sentences. Then send me a message to javiprofeingles@hotmail.com with the sentences and an audio commentary about the "Born this Way Foundation" and about how we could stop bullying at school.
3.- You have to make 5 listenings at www.esl-lab.com. You must go to the Listening Quizzes for Academic Purposes
Section and do "Airport Announcement", "Friday's Weather Forecast" in the difficult category and "A Greener World " "Cosmetic Surgery " and "Learning Languages " from the very difficult category. When you finish a listening and get the result, print the screen (with the key "print screen" or "imp pant" which is at the top of the keyboard on the right of F12), paste the screen on a word document and when you have all five, send them to me to my usual email address.
Good luck and do not leave everything for the very last moment.

APLE COMPUTER ROOM LESSON. March 5th
Hi Students,
I hope you have improved your glogs during the weekend.
Today we are going to do an activity regarding films. I don't know if the Internet connection and our technical problems will spoil the activity. I ask you to be patient because if it works, it may be a very funny lesson.
For this activity you need to work in pairs. 1&2, 3&4, etc.
This is the activity we are going to do. We are visiting this page:
You have to choose one channel and then clip from a film. Then as a language, choose English and then choose "Microphone". The first thing you have to do is to watch the clip several times. Then, it is the time to write your script for the clip and to choose the characters. If it is a woman and you are a man, you will have to make a woman's voice and so on. Once everything is clear, it is time to dub the clip.
On the top right hand corner, choose "microphone" and when everybody is ready, click on "record". Remember you will all be using the same microphone, so hold it in your hands.
When you finish recording, click on stop, listen to the clip with your audio and if you are happy with it, fill in the information at the bottom. Give the clip a title, write your names, your email address, my email address (javiprofeingles@hotmail.com) and click on "send".
If you have some extra time at the end, you can try to do the same with another clip, but this time use the option subtitle and subtitle it into English.
Cross your fingers with our Internet connections.
Have fun
