Hello mates! The other day in the class of Desarrollo de Competencias de Comunicación en la Lengua Extranjera, Daniel told us that most of us have problems designing previous activities. Searching on the Internet I have found this interesting article that talks about pre-listening activities. It includes these aspects: * Why do pre-listening tasks? * Aims and types of pre-listening tasks * Selection criteria I believe that the part that talks about the different kinds of pre-listening tasks could be very useful for us when we create listening activities in class. Hope it serves!

In this website we can find some songs' videoclips which we can use to teach English. Songs are motivating and they can enhance childrens interest in listening to what the lyrics says.

Hi class: This is a about Storytelling. Storytelling is an art that has mental, social and educational benefits on children. People of all ages love stories. Children are great fans of stories and love to listen to them. Storytelling literally means reading out stories to them or just telling a story from the memory to them. I think this is an important resource for teaching EFL.

Very interesting and useful! i add to my collection of resources and readings :)

This article is about the educational uses of Digital Storytelling. Telling and listening to stories is an ancient tradition that can benefit foreign language learners of all ages, languages, and levels of proficiency. Stories contain linguistic, paralinguistic, discourse, and cultural features that provide the comprehensible input and output that students need to develop their oral skills. As with traditional storytelling, you tell stories using computer-based tools, usually contain some mixture of images, text, recorded audio, narration, video clips and/or music.

Hello everyone! This article is about the Artigal's Method. It is based on short stories that promote communication in the English language throughout staging. Each short story, adapted to the level of the class, presents different didactic material that, by means of characters and their actions, makes children learn without realising it. So, what was senseless for kids at the beginning is at the end something that has sense in the English language, using the English words they have listened, memorized and learned.

Hi fellows! This web talks about the importance of knowing the characteristics and features of our future students. According to the author, we should use a classroom seating chart in order to learn the names of the students fairly quickly, because remembering the students' names right in the beginning of the school year helps to develop a more personal and direct contact. On the other hand, the article emphasizes that we should teach and remind students at all times of the class procedures: * Listening to instructions before being directed to performing a task given. * During the work task Procedures. * Terminating the task on-hand. See you!
