CALL Lessons 2005-2007

A blog for the CALL lessons with my three 5th and 6th grade classes (2005-2007)

   CALL lesson 2

Tomorrow, May 9th, you have your second CALL lesson. I hope it's a big success like the first one!

It will be a Geography lesson in English. You have to look for (= procurar) information about the countries of my colleagues-friends who write messages to you. It's a simple task (= tarefa): complete a table (= quadro) with info that you find in this interactive World Atlas.

Here is the table!

Dear Rodrigo,
It's almost 8.00 pm and I just arrived home from Coimbra. The ceremony at Esc. Secundária José Falcão was very interesting and I met (= conheci) interesting colleagues.
I also saw two things that filled my eyes (= encheram a minha vista): the Biblioteca Joanina and Capela de S. Miguel of the University of Coimbra. How beautiful!
"Thank you" for such a wonderful comment that shows your enthusiasm for English. It's very nice to read such things. And... it's students like you that make teaching so pleasant and gratifying! :-)
A big kiss

Dear Students,

What a wonderful job you are doing! I loved the table with information about the countries. That's very interesting.

Rodrigo, the singer, do you have an FTP address??? I'm impressed!

What do you like the most about your CALL lessons? What have you learned that you enjoyed a lot?

I'm waiting to know more about you.

Olá, students.

You are doing a fantastic job with your CALL lessons and this blog! I love it!

You are very lucky to be working with Teresa. I admire Teresa very much and agree that she is a brilliant teacher and knows how to create enthusiasm. I also agree that she is radical. It's wonderful that you are learning by playing. I can't think of a better way to learn!

For the past nine months, Carla Arena (in Brasilia, Brasil) and I have been working together on a blog called "International Exchange." It has been a wonderful experience for me and my students. I hope they have learned as much as you have learned with Teresa!

By the way, it was good to see Rodrigo's name here!

Best wishes to all of you!

Hi, Dennis!
I also love the exchange and the blog you have with Carla and her students. However, it is too hard for my beginners.
The Rodrigo you see here isn't the Rodrigo from last year. This Rodrigo is also a very good student and an enthusiast of English and the CALL lessons. He is both Brazilian and Portuguese. Isn't it great to have a double nationality?
Maybe Rodrigo can tell us more about this. Ok, Rodrigo?
Warm hugs,
Teresa

Dear Tere, your students are so smart, and you are doing such a great job. I am amazed at how fast they are learning, and what's more important: their level of motivation :-)
Congrats to all!!!
