THE CLOUD School of English
‘Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.’ – Joseph Addison.
Bearing in mind that tomorrow we celebrate the Book Day, I would like to highlight the importance of reading in order to learn a foreign language. Books are an endless source of enrichment in all senses and I am explaining the weighty reasons that led me to this foregone conclusion.
Durante los meses de Julio y Agosto THE CLOUD School lleva a cabo cursos intensivos de los niveles B1 y B2, para preparar los exámenes oficiales de Cambridge de Septiembre. Son cursos en horario de mañana, con un máximo de 8 alumnos por grupo, dirigidos a personas que tienen una mayor disponibilidad de tiempo que durante el resto del curso escolar y mayor urgencia en obtener una certificación oficial de inglés. Constan de 8 horas presenciales a la semana (2 horas cada día, 4 días a la semana) a las que hay que sumar de 2 a 3 horas de trabajo personal en casa diariamente.
Many of our students are preparing specific examinations by Cambridge this course. That is why I am going to devote a few lines here to all of you who are making the effort to do your best in the upcoming tests.
As this week it is my turn to write a post on our new blog, I would like to share with you my thoughts about teaching teenagers. I have to admit that it has always been a great challenge for me.
Hi everyone!
I am really glad to do my bit in this blog and have the opportunity to transmit all those things I consider useful, relevant or eye-catching. As this is my first contribution to the blog and I am fully aware that many of you would like to be a fly on the walls at our classrooms, I am going to share several things with you that I am sure you will enjoy. The protagonists are the little ones this time.
ENSEÑANZA DESDE EL AFECTO
“He aprendido que la gente olvidará lo que dijiste, también olvidará lo que hiciste, pero nunca olvidará cómo la hiciste sentir” (Maya Angelou)
Como profesores de un idioma, tenemos que prestar atención a muchos aspectos en nuestro trabajo, pero uno de los más significativos para nosotros es la enseñanza desde el afecto.
