Week 1 Reflections

Hello everybody,
I am Cristina writing from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
It is the first time for me doing an English course with people around the world. The first impression was very surprising to read the posts of my colleagues from countries as Tanzania, Mexico,...
I am not an English teacher, but I teach one subject in English.  I hope to learn a lot from the others and improve my knowledge about CLIL methodology.
In my country, Spain, there is a lot interested of learning other subjects through English using this kind of .
It is not the first time I use blogger, In the past I used in a training course for upload the materials every week. From my point of view blogging has advantages and disadvantages. It is a good way for writing reflections, sharing knowledge and making connections with webs and blogs around the world, but you have to try to post regularly.

  2. Hello Cristine, Noel and Nune,
    I also find blogging useful in the contemporary teaching process and will definitely start exploiting it with my students.

    Cristine - I am interested in CLIL as well and have taught such a course for the last 2 years. Recently I discussed an evaluation report on bilingual education in your country. Here is the link to the report http://www.britishcouncil.org/spain/sites/default/files/pdfs/bep-ingles.pdf

  3. Hi Cristine,

    I am Lorena from El Salvador. It is my first time using a blog and I like it very much. However, I agree with your point regarding the frequent posting. If you don't do it regularly, then it loses its sense.
    I hope with this class we can get used to post frequently.
