This is a webpage in which we can find resources from any subject in English, about classroom management, assembly ideas, different topics and so on

I would like to share with you this site, it is not directly directed to English but is a good video library in which we can find interesting proposals related to the field of education and a lot of innovation approaches, methodologies, projects...

Task based learning offers to the students an opportunity to use the target language as they would do in everyday life using their own one. The task is an activity in which students use the language to achieve a specific outcome. Here you have some useful TBL activities. I hope you find them useful!

This university offers a Master related to CLIL and bilinguism that can be very useful and helpful if you want specialize you in english teaching through a new methodology that has very good results in the students. don´t stay with the doubt and inform you for your professional future!

In this page you can find several useful resources, tools and also tips which I have found really interesting, thinking in a near future. I especially like the article "the first fifteen minutes" where Alycia Zimmerman, a 3rd grade teacher, explains how she starts her school day.

WebQuests are activities, using internet resources, which encourage students to use higher order thinking skills to solve a real messy problem. When I saw Anna's post, I found it really interesting and I started searching about webquest to know a bit more. Here in this page you can find different webquests for different levels and also you can sing in and create your own ones.

It makes me really happy that you liked my post =) and that you decided to look for further information. I really love webquests, although they won't promote high order thinking skills if they're not used propoerly.

Here you are a web page full of a great number of tools ( flashcards, lesson ideas, worksheets, games, songs) that you can use and they will help you make funny and interesting lessons!

Behavior management is very important in order to maintain an atmosphere that enhances learning. We already know some strategies that can help us to create and maintain this atmosphere. Here you can find some frequent mistakes that we as a future teacher should avoid. I think it is helpful to know not only what we should do but also what we shouldn´t do, as inexperience teachers.

Interesting article. I know a few school teachers who should read it. For example, we all know teachers who threaten students with getting them out of the class, or not letting them go out at lunchtime. Intimidating children leads you nowhere, we should treat them with respect and involve no verbal violence ever.

Related with classroom management also, I have discovered a web page with a very interesting information in which explain common and typical classroom situations and children´s behaviour. it can be very helpful because you can find in classroom situations like this. So, read it and don´t get caught by surprise!

I have found a very practical web page with a great variety of useful activities to put in practice with children, this dynamics really help teachers to manage the classroom in a effective way. Enjoy!

How we have been talking along this course is importanto to keep on learning and don't give up the training of our English skills. This is the website I've been using along this years to prepare my exams and to review things. It's interesting because you can do exercises working different skills and all of them are graded. It's been very helfpful for me.

This is a website where you can find some advices to promote writing skills on learners. They can be very useful and may help you to dispel any doubt you have.

With this website children will be developing their artistic competence using plasticine (as well as their comunication skills) . Teachers can use it to introduce new vocabulary. In the middle of the webpage it says "things to make", "Create a Play-Doh snowboarding penguin". If you click on it, it explains to you step by step how to make it. So, while doing the figure, we can introduce to children the name of the animal, parts of the body, verbs in relation to the action, mould, shape, form, smash, roll, wrap, etc. It could be a controlled guided activity or a free activity if we ask them to do whatever they want and present it to their classmates.

This is a mind map about Professional Development which is very useful and clear you know basic concepts about this topic. Professional Development takes into account some aspects: Revision of goals, progress checked against vision, periodic review of development...
