Today we receive the visit of a very important person in our city in the field of the English teaching; his name is Jesus Canca Lara, and he works at an adult education center called Edrissis.
When we saw him for the first time, we thought that he was a very involved, innovative and original English teacher.
We started with a warming up. He told us to write the name of a song that we like in sticky notes and then we post them in the blackboard. Once we did that, we just realize that wasn’t any paper in white, everything was written, and at that precise moment, we realize how relevant music is for everybody. Besides, we talked about so many important topics.
Blog can be a very useful tool, and everyone should use it, not only in the field of education but in others.
Furthermore, we’ve been talking about "The fun theory". After four years of degree learning about so many “theories” in subjects as psychology and didactics, I realize that this one, which is a very important one, was unknown for me.
We saw a very interesting video. And for sure, there are many things to say about this video, but I will let you see it, and you’ll understand it for yourself…
We've been talking about an author that I’ve never listened about, his name is Tim Murphey. He wrote a book called "Music and Song". I read this quote in his presentation and I thought it was very interesting.
"We know that music is not one of the conventional categories of language study (grammar, vocabulary, etc), but it can be the content matter of any of these categories".
(Tim Murphey -"Kanda University of International Studies"; Japan)
We also talked about why blog is a very useful tool for the educational world.
Some of the keywords that appear in his presentation were.
• Motivation
• Self learning
• Innovation
