Fifth class

Hello everyone!

Yesterday we had our fifth class. We continued working on Audiolingualism, this time mainly through a group competition. There were four groups: the fatties, the flowers, the all-girls group and the bohemians, who won the competition. We covered in detail everything related to the background of the Audiolingual Method. We also spent some time correcting some language mistakes from the quizzes.

For homework you have to:

• make a chart summarizing the main aspects of Audiolingualism. You can either send it to me by mail or hand it in next class.
• revise and edit your quiz
• read chapter 9
• print questionnaire 3

So... let's get to work! Have a great weekend!

Last but not least....

Here we have one more quiz... Nice work Joaquín, Matías, Nicolás, Cecilia and Samanta!

Hi there, my dear students!

I wanted to let you know that on Friday I'll be absent. So, we'll meet again on Friday 30th.
I hope you get the message, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Meanwhile, keep working on the quizzes. Apart from submitting yours, you should take those prepared by your classmates.

Whatever doubts you have, do not hesitate to contact me.

First quiz by students

Well done Romina, Pablo and Carla!

Fourth class...

Hi dear students!

And yet another class has gone by...

Today we went through the questionnaire on chapter 2, clearing doubts and focusing on key concepts. We also took a look at an application called QuizRevolution

For homework you have to create a quiz of at least ten questions about Audiolingualism; you have to do so in groups of four or five people. Once it is ready you have to send me the embed code by mail so I can publish it in this blog.

Have an excellent weekend!

More links

Hi again!

Here there are two more links provided by students:,

• a comparative chart of different methods http://www.auburn.edu/~nunnath/engl6240/principl.html
• a presentation from Slideshare http://www.slideshare.net/lilianamonserrat/audio-lingual-method

As regards the presentation, you'll see that when the presentation finishes you are shown several other presentations on Audiolingualism. Some of them are worth having a look at.

Third class...

Hi everyone!

We've had our third class. We went through the questionnaire on chapter 1, making sure we cleared all doubts and higlighted the most important concepts. Then students got in groups with a very simple yet useful activity. Each group worked on five of the questions from the questionnaire on chapter 2. Even if we still have to share the results of the group activity, it is clear all the groups worked enthusiastically and very actively... well done! Keep up the good work!

For next class you have to read chapter 4 on Audiolingualism and you have to look for related material in internet. If you find anything especially interesting, send me the link by mail.

Have a great weekend!

Happy day for every worker!!
