Nuestros trucos para mejorar tu inglés

Our most important piece of advice is: "Do something (anything).

If you don't do anything, you won't get anywhere.

Make it your hobby, not a chore.

Above all have fun!

Oh, and don't be in too much of a hurry. You're setting off on a long journey and there will be delays and frustrations along the way. Sometimes you'll be in the fast lane and other times you'll be stuck in traffic, but there will also be lots of interesting things and interesting people along the way. Take your time to really enjoy the experience.

There are many ways to improve your level of English, but only you can find the right way for you. Here are a few tips that might help:-

Improve your Learning Skills

Learning is a skill and it can be improved.

Your path to learning effectively is through knowing

• yourself
• your capacity to learn
• processes you have successfully used in the past
• your interest, and knowledge of what you wish to learn

Motivate yourself

If you are not motivated to learn English you will become frustrated and give up. Ask yourself the following questions, and be honest:-

• Why do you need to learn/improve English?
• Where will you need to use English?
• What skills do you need to learn/improve?(Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking)
• How soon do you need to see results?
• How much time can you afford to devote to learning English.
• How much money can you afford to devote to learning English.
• Do you have a plan or learning strategy?

Set yourself achievable goals

You know how much time you can dedicate to learning English, but a short time each day will produce better, longer-term results than a full day on the weekend and then nothing for two weeks.

Joining a short intensive course could produce better results than joining a course that takes place once a week for six months.

Here are some goals you could set yourself:-

• Join an English course - a virtual one or a real one (and attend regularly).
• Do your homework.
• Read a book or a comic every month.
• Learn a new word every day.
• Visit an English speaking forum, or website every day.
• Read a news article on the net every day.
• Do 10 minutes listening practice every day.
• Watch an English film at least once a month.
• Follow a soap, comedy or radio or TV drama.

A good way to meet your goals is to establish a system of rewards and punishments.

Decide on a reward you will give yourself for fulfilling your goals for a month.

• A bottle of your favourite drink
• A meal out / or a nice meal at home
• A new outfit
• A manicure or massage

Understanding how you learn best may also help you.

There are different ways to learn. Find out what kind of learner you are in order to better understand how to learn more effectively..

The visual learner

Do you need to see your teacher during lessons in order to fully understand the content of a lesson?

Do you prefer to sit at the front of the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people's heads)?

Do you think in pictures and learn best from visual displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos,flashcards, flipcharts and hand-outs? 

During a lecture or classroom discussion, do you prefer to take detailed notes to absorb the information?

!Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking part in traditional English lessons, but maybe private lessons would be better.

The auditory learner

Do you learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say?

Do you interpret the underlying meanings of speech through listening to tone of voice, pitch, speed and other nuances?

Does written information have little meaning until you hear it?

!Learning Tip - you may benefit from listening to the radio or listening to text as you read it. You could try reading text aloud and using a tape recorder to play it back to yourself.

The Tactile/Kinesthetic learner

Do you learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around you?

Do you find it hard to sit still for long periods?

Do you become distracted easily?

!Learning Tip - you may benefit from taking an active part in role plays or drama activities.

Other English Learning Tips

Travel to an English speaking country:-

• England, America, Australia, Canada, South Africa, one of them is only a few hours away from you.
• Specialist holidays are available to improve your English.
• Take an English speaking tour or activity holiday.

Spend your time on things that interest you. If you like cooking then buy an English-language cookbook or find recipes on the net and practise following the recipes. You'll soon know if you have made a mistake!

Keep something English on you (book,newspaper or magazine, cd or cassette, set offlashcards) all day and every day, you never know when you might have 5 spare minutes.

If you are too tired to actively practice just relax and listen to an story in English, an English pop song or talk radio station.

Get onto Google Plus, Skype, other social networks, or be really adventurous and start socialising in Virtual Worlds.

Start networking with native speakers / teachers and other learners.

Para ello el equipo pedagógico de Aulaglobal se compromete a guiarles y orientarles tanto a superar las materias pendientes, como a adquirir la metodología apropiada para su correcta preparación, ofertándoles una enseñanza a la carta ya que cada alumno debe superar y enfrentarse a objetivos y dificultades distintas.

Además, los alumnos deberán entregar cada semana una serie de ejercicios con el fin de ver realizados todos los objetivos exigidos en sus centros educativos. Esto será un requisito fundamental, en el caso de que el centro los haya recomendado, para poder tener libre el fin de semana.

Cuando el alumno no supere los objetivos semanales tendrá que permanecer en la academia los viernes de 17:00 a 20:00 y los sábados de 10:00 a 13:00, donde bajo la supervisión de un profesor, preparará de nuevo la materia no superada y repetirá el examen.

En el descanso, los alumnos podrán salir del centro. Para los menores de edad será necesaria una autorización firmada por los padres.

Todos los días se pasará un parte de asistencia a las 9:10 y a las 11:15 (después del descanso), y en el supuesto de que un alumno no esté dentro del centro les será comunicado padres inmediatamente.

Cada alumno tendrá un tutor, el cual hará un seguimiento personal y se encargará de informar a los padres de la evolución semanal ante las asignaturas, actitud, esfuerzo y rendimiento del escolar.

El horario será configurado por el centro.

MATERIAL DIDÁCTICO

Los alumnos deberán traer al centro:
- Libros de texto utilizados durante el curso.

Las normas imperantes son las siguientes:
- Puntualidad en todas las clases.
- Cumplimiento riguroso del horario.
- No está permitido fumar en las instalaciones del centro.

El colegio Madre de Dios recrea las carreras de Ascot.

El colegio bilingüe concertado Madre de Dios celebrará el viernes en la plaza de España el 'English day', un evento educativo ambientado en la tradición británica de las carreras de Ascot.

La dirección del centro de las Madres Mercedarias pretende así poner de relieve la importancia del aprendizaje de la lengua inglesa para este colegio y los alumnos de Infantil participarán en la jornada en una acción denominada 'food and picnic', cumpliendo una parte de la tradición que rodea las celebraciones hípicas de Ascot.

Los escolares de primer ciclo de Primaria elaborarán un 'hamper', la típica cesta de pic-nic inglesa y los alumnos de segundo ciclo de Primaria trabajarán el 'dress code', el modo de vestir de la sociedad británica cuando asiste al hipódromo, caracterizado por chisteras y grandes y llamativas pamelas.

Fuentes del colegio indicaron que los alumnos de tercer curso de Primaria centrarán sus actividades del 'English day' en la temática 'horses and jockeys' (caballos y jinetes), participando en carreras con caballos de juguete realizados por ellos mismos.

Los alumnos de Secundaria tomarán parte en la jornada desarrollando con su indumentaria aspectos relacionados con la familia real.

Rephrasing exercise.

Aprobada la eliminación Selectividad

Los alumnos que durante el curso 2017-18 quieran acceder a los estudios de grado no tendrán que afrontar la tan " temida" selectividad. Será el centro donde cursen Bachillerato quienes les hagan esta prueba final.

¿Bueno o malo para el estudiante? Nos falta información para poder dar una opinión formada pero de momento surgen algunos interrogantes:

¿Quien garantizará el principio de igualdad de todos los alumnos para poder acceder a algo tan importante como su desarrollo vocacional y profesional? 

Prometemos dar toda la información y garantizamos dar nuestra opinión de forma independiente, porque lo que está en juego cuando se trata de educación es el futuro más inmediato de nuestro país.

Valentines's Day activities. Grammar and speaking

Valentine's Day is one of the most famous holidays in the world. It falls on February the 14th and is celebrated across the world. It is the traditional day for lovers to express their love to each other. They do this by sending Valentine’s cards with romantic messages. It is common to leave the card unsigned. Other traditions on this day are buying chocolates and giving red roses. Valentine’s Day used to be an American and European thing, but now it has gone all over the world. It has become very commercial. Companies that make Valentine’s goods even encourage people to send Valentine’s cards to their parents and other family members! In Japan, only women give Valentine’s gifts – to all the men they know.

There is confusion over which Saint Valentine the day is named after. It is either Valentine of Rome, who lived in the third century, or Saint Valentine, bishop of Terni, from the 14th century. The custom of exchanging romantic messages seems to have started in 19th-century England. In 1847, an American woman, Esther Howland, started producing and selling Valentine cards. Today, over one billion are sent worldwide, with women sending 85 per cent of them. Different companies slowly saw the opportunities to make money from Valentine’s Day. In the 1980s, diamond companies began promoting jewellery as the ultimate Valentine’s gift. French and Italian restaurants are also very busy on this day.
