American vs British English WIKI

Cheack out the new wiki that I have created to gather information and examples of the differences between American and British English.

Exchange in Canada- Picasa

another useful tool is PIcasa. It is a program which allows you to share pictures with people and upload them to the web. For example we have created a story using some of our own pictures. this is a good creative writing exercise to do with students In my case I have placed some photos about my exchange year in Canada

Collaborative Story

here you can see an example of a collaborative story done by some university students of a master using wikispaces tool.

ENGLISH ACTIVITIES SURVEY

I haver created a survey to be answer by my students once we have finished the English course where thy can give their opinions about the activities we have undertaken such as wikispaces, webquest, hotpotatoes exercises , etc...

don't worry the survey is anonymus and I will collect the results to assess my work and try to improve things for the next course so there is no harm for you =)

In order to practice your listening comprehension you can use the following episodes

here you can find a conversation recorded in New Technology class of the master

Conversation between 3 friends in a restaurant near Toronto (Canada). Here we can listen to 3 different accents when speaking English: Canadian, British and Spanish. It's a good example of real life situation where no everybody is native speaker but the communication purpose is achieved.
