No Reservations!

We often have our most lively discussions about food in class. The Travel Channel has a show called No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain which shows Anthony experiencing the culture of different places through food and meals with local people.

Most of the students in our school come from three countries: Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico. Let's learn about them. Watch each video and after each one, then we will discuss it.

Guayaquil, Ecuador

Cartegena, Colombia

Puebla, Mexico

See if you can find a video about food from your city or country. Post the link in the comments section.

Learning

Learning English requires time, perseverance, and practice. Everyone knows that. What else is important when you want to learn English?

This week we will be talking about learning. People prefer to learn things in different ways. For example, some people prefer to read. They can take their time and read information as fast or as slow as they want. Other people prefer to learn by doing things. Some people like to listen to music. Some people like to study with friends.

Today we will talk about multiple intelligences and jobs that people will like.
Tuesday we're going to find out how we learn best by taking a quiz online.
Wednesday we will look at the creative way people teach different students who have different learning styles.
Thursday we will talk about how we can learn English better by considering our learning styles.
