1) Objective / Message in a forum
(An opening message for a course on learning English for Intermediate level)
Welcome everybody to this learning course about English in Intermediate level. In this week, we are going to check vocabulary and expressions related to food, specifically in celebrations.
How do you celebrate Christmas? What do you usually eat in this holiday?
Please update your answers until Tuesday ok?
Together we are going to learn and enjoy this topic. J See you!

2) Select and evaluate a input web site
After this activity, as teachers, we have decided to recommend our students an useful website called “Macmillan English”. In this, the student will be able to check something if they have doubts and as well, they will practice inside of this website. This has a catalogue of free resources and we have selected “Inspiration” edition in order to help and encourage our students during the lesson.
In order to verify and evaluate this website, we are going to check the following aspects:



Authority
This page, there are many experts who have many years of experience in the field of writing books.
All the people involved in this web site are supported by Macmillan, which is one of the world’s leading publishers of English Language teaching and school materials, with over 150 years of publishing experience.
There is a link in which anyone can get contact with the information about the authors and this is always available.


Coverage
The information presented in this website is always relevant for the subject.
This is very useful, because as students as teachers are able to look for more extra information, do exercises, verify with other sites, etc.
The material is deep in the sense of the variety of resources that is presented. There are many different editions form books, activities, etc.

Objectivity
The advertisement used inside of the site is always related to the topic.
It uses as references some other sites like the British Council, One stop English, etc.


Accuracy

We can see the date of when it was updated the source.
This web site is free of spelling mistakes.
It has a company information, which is verifying and checking all the information used in the page.

The use of roles in online groups

Hi!

In order to show you how my class was on Tuesday, I would like you watch this video about a presentation called "The use of the roles in oline-groups". As you can see everybody is participating and that's the way we construct our knowledge...all together :)

I also want you to see some pictures that I took from that class. In a few words, I can say that this has been a good course for me :p

see you
