APLE HOMEWORK 10/10. Deadline May 31st.

Yes, students, the last piece of homework for this year. It is time to give opinions so that we can do better next year. You know you are an important part of this teaching process, so your opinion is really important. Don't talk for less than one minute and try to suggest things, not only criticize the bad ones.



Don't forget you have to give me your videos this week. Any format is fine.

TALKING TO FOREIGNERS AT THE PRADO

Hi students,

You really had a good time in Madrid today. Lovely weather and nice tourists eager to talk to young Spanish people.
Here are a couple of photographs about it.
You have to give me your videos (in a CD, DVD, pen drive or memory card) this week or next week. Don't leave it for the very last day, since there are always technical problems. You can include as many interviews as you like and also deleted scenes, gag reel, credits, etc.
As soos as I have them all, I will give you your marks for this assignment.

Helena, where are you?

APLE HOMEWORK 9/10. Deadline May 21st.

This weekend, the idea is to subtitle a short video. It is part of The Lazarus Campaign. The idea is that you write the subtitles for the video. Then, I will try to insert the subtitles in the video.
This is the video you have to subtitle.



The boys in the class will make the first 12 people talking. and the girls, the last 12, including Bono at the end.
Send your text to my usual email address.

Don't forget to bring the papers with the questions and the cameras on Monday. The weather forecast says we are going to have a really sunny day.
Have a superb weekend.

APLE HOMEWORK 8/10. Deadline May 13th.

Dear Students,

Next week you will have your second listening exam and this time it will be the long one (similar to the one you did in the second term). For that reason, I think you might start practising some listening activities.
You have to go here and do steps 1 and 2 (5 short activities). When you finish one step or one character, print your screen as you did last week with the wedding stuff, paste it on a Word document and when you do them all, send it to me to the uusal address javiprofeingles@hotmail.com.
Good luck and listen to English regularly.
Javier

APLE HOMEWORK 7/10. Deadline May 7th

I know some people like Helena are fed up with the Royal Wedding, but you've got to admit it is an important event. Therefore, this week your homework has to do with that.

You have to do all the seven sections and every time you finish one section, print your screen with the results and then paste them on a Word document. To print your screen, you need to press the key "Imp pant" or "Print Screen", which is on the right of the F12 key or so. If you have problems printing your screen, ask me in the class. Then, send me the Word document with all your scores to my usual address javiprofeingles@hotmail.com.
And they lived happily ever after.
Javier
