Last week I had the opportunity to attend a dinner with interesting people. It was a dinner pecking in which we share our professional experience, our projects and exchanged views and opinions on other projects.
A topic that "we discussed" was the use of new technologies in education. You know that to me is a subject close to my heart, because it is directly related to what we do in iKidz.
My point of view: technologies in education are useful but alone are not effective. Why?

If you are profe English insurance that one of the main problems that you encounter is to make your students speak English.
We usually teachers "burden" because we do not get our students to express themselves, and when they do often end up doing in their mother tongue. You must keep in mind that it is normal in the world. For them to use a language that is not yours is complicated, and how to do it when not motivated or appeals.
Therefore, in today's post I leave 6 activities to encourage speaking in class and get your students begin to loosen, even a little! 😉

In the last article I left 22 books to learn English classified by subject. Further, I said that in the next so many years leave so you can have your own "library", and depending on the concepts you please work with the kids contéis with an appropriate book.
In today's post, I'll leave books to work from home to the professions through transport and time.
I hope the good results, and together with last week contéis sufficient resources to work with the kids through "story telling".

You Oddly may seem, Some readers will arrive to convert almost friends. With some of you I regularly exchange emails. You tell me your concerns as parents and teachers, You ask me draw your inspiration and resources many of the articles, week after week, I write.
Today's post, It is one of those items. One of my readers told me this week seeking books to teach English in the classroom child.
Books that leave you between this post and the next week (I decided to do two because otherwise they would be very long ...), They are not only useful for working in early childhood education, You can serve almost any stage, it all depends on how Plantées use.
To make it easier to find the book you are looking for, I've organized the thematic, so if you want to work a book about emotions, go directly to that section.

The course has already begun, cole the early days have passed and the kids start to get used to the routines that parents blessed you were throwing so much.
For our part, the teachers are deeply involved in the frantic pace of the first week course. looking resources, preparing our classes, and meeting our new students.
This week I decided to write a post about a topic that I think is fundamental when we refer languages: learning new vocabulary. But not learn anyway, 'Learn in a fun way!!
I leave 5 ways to learn vocabulary effectively and fun and, of course, not only in English, in any language.

Took several weeks going around that would be the first item after the holidays. Do not think I found it easy to decide, I have several issues that I would try, but this post is special.
Cole begins and I'm sure most of your kids have no desire to start, but ye are forward 😉 But this does not happen to other children. There are children who are willing to go and cole, Unfortunately, they can not. This is the case of refugee children, affected by conflicts and wars that are in check much of the Middle East.
Many of these children have been forced to leave their country of origin, without really knowing where they will end.
The main problem is that these little ones are in refugee camps temporarily. Places where living conditions are very precarious and where, In most cases, there are no schools.
Luckly, there are initiatives through being created "schools" in which provide a minimum education for these children.
Today I want to talk about three of these initiatives. I hope to inspire your course starts as inspired mine.
In the past week, one of the blog readers asked what activities could do for the first few days of class. Those days when we have new children, we do not yet know the names, and we need to somehow "grope" How are our new students.
Today I leave 5 activities that you can do, almost any age, from 2nd grade. I hope you find helpful, and when the course begins and realicéis may tell me how you go.

Last week I received an email that could not make me more excited. It comes to Ade, a reader and follower of my Youtube channel, that the next course will face a great challenge: teach English to kids in two years in a country with a totally different culture than ours.
In your email, Ade told me that I was not sure how to deal with class, and what resources to use with very young children. Therefore, although today's post is particularly aimed at her, I hope that, all that next year we enfrentéis a similar challenge to help you.
If your child has not had to learn the table of irregular verbs for school, I assure you will have to do so soon. I think it's one of the things I dislike most children, but it is so fundamental, they have no choice but to learn if they want to make proper use of language.
This week I start in iKidz intensive summer courses, as you know, in iKidz always we adapt to the needs of our students. Therefore, during this first half of the activities in which we focus is on learning verbs. One of my students in grades 5 must return in September with the board learned the full, so let's see if we can take a class handle 😉

The kids just finished cole and dads and you are "desperate" thinking about what you do with them all day. A good way to "entertain", well take the opportunity to review all the concepts worked throughout the year, are reviewing books.
From my point of view, it is good that the kids do something. Be aware that the summer is long and the day has many hours. You better do a little every day to not lose the routine.
