Thesaurus

Hi everybody! 

In this entry we are going to show Thesaurus, a powerful tool we can teach our students to use.
Thesaurus is a dictionary where you can look for synonyms or relevant words related to the word given.



First of all, you write the word you want. I've chosen Literature as I did in my previous entry. Then, you find a list of synonyms of that word, and a small definition under the word in bold. You can hear the pronunciation like it was a common online dictionary. 
But if you press the bottom of Relevance, the words change into relevant words, marked with yellow colour from more relevant to less relevant.


Of course, it has the option of showing the definition of the word. You just have to press where it sais see definition of literature.

Hi everyone again! How are you?   Today we have something special. Have you ever heard about Padlet?

Students’ Needs

Good morning everyone! How is Christmas going?    In this entry we are going to talk about student's needs in the classroom, this is the  type of linguistic exchanges that students need to use.   For this activity, I've selected the first year of Bachillerato, where we can find our subject: Universal Literature.   While the lesson is going on, our students will need a certain level of English to understand it. The materials they will be working with, would be in English, such as their textbook, articles, the literary works and the digital content and tools that can be used (PowerPoint presentations, online dictionaries, moodle, and so on). Moreover, in order to understand some of the literary works, we can use films to illustrate them. So, since they are discussing with each other, watching films, listening to the teacher, reading different books and writing their own papers, they are developing the four areas that a language has.    A...
