Hi mates! This is an interesting website about Curriculum. The link goes directly to an article written by Leslie Owen Wilson's doctorate in curriculum and instruction. The article is about different types of curriculum. It's linked with the Unit 1st , 4th and 5th in Natalia's subject.

This is an academic paper which discusses learner-centred curriculum development.

Article about the problems with classroom management and the importance of good classroom management in EFL classes. The article shows us that classroom management is an important part of the curriculum.

Hi group! I've found this interesting article. And I've just posted it on the blog. It's about reconceptualization in Curriculum Studies. It explains the meaning of this concept and the influence of history by shaping what is thinkable or not. Reconceptualization does not end; it is fluid, ongoing, situational, it disarticulates static forms and It's directly linked with the cognition process. I wish you enjoy with it.

This is a video I think everybody should see. It is the story behind Finland´s educational system. The reason for tagging this video is the general idea you get for their success. It shows us the theory we are studying and the possible application. Although I don´t think it is possible to implement this system in Spain because of the big social and cultural differences it gives you a good idea about how it could be. In the video they talk about the differences, their curriculum, assessment, objectives, planning, tasks, their aims, some activities, the way students are invited to make their own decisions etc. Have a look, it's a real eye opener.

I´ve been fascinated with this documentary. It´s very interesting and amazing the educational process in Finland. Really I would like to learn much of this system, but the first thinking come to my mind is we are years behind. I understand is other culture and society, when they speak about the trust in everybody related with education, is something unthinkable here, by bad luck. This is a very recommendable video, you don´t believe you are going to lose an hour see it. I´ve finished very motivated, and I would want to know more closer this system, if could possible, visiting Finland.

This article presents the roles of assessment in curriculum practice and enhancement of learning. It also consists of three sections, namely, Assessment as component of the curriculum, continuous assessment for learning, and the importance of feedback and comments in assessed work and analyze each one. Furthermore, we find a discussion in this Article of the current state of assessment, particularly formative/continuous assessment.

This is an interesting and briefly presentation about some different items that we have studied in that course. For instance, this presentation talks about premises of Curriculum, give definitions about content, objectives, CEFR structure... Also it´s talk in depth about communicative language competences and linguistic domains. For last, it´s talk about the 5 skills and the Common Reference levels o Language Proficiency (A1,A2,B1,B2...) Is very interesting because it teaches you that everything is related. In that website you can find another interesting presentations abour other tasks as portfolio... I would like to finish that summary with the last sentence of the presentation: "Don't be afraid to have an open-minded look to so many unknown and unfamiliar things around us… we have just to try to discover them unconditionally!Success!" I believe that this attitude is that we need to keep improving!!!

I hope that it serves of aid for all of you, it has helped me a lot. A greeting.

Hi group! This article is about teaching models (unit 5th in Natalia's subject). Although some models are different from the ones Natalia has explained us today, I think is interesting because has an explanation about how to use them in class. So we could see what a wide range of teaching models we have and the goals we could expect using them with our students.

Hello Group!!! It's a very good web page and very useful for us. In this PDF we can find information about planning. It answers different questions, like for example, why is planning important, what aspects you have to include in a lesson plan, etc. On the other hand, the guide also explains us five aspects that must be included in a lesson plan: -Learning Objectives -Assessments -Activities -Materials and Resources -Wrap-up and Reflection Finally, the guide includes an appendix with three resources as: Lesson Plan Templates; Sample Lesson Plan and Sample Rubrics. It's very recommendable for young teachers because it explains very well the importance of planning
