First of all, and bearing in mind I love music, I use songs from You Tube in my classes. In November or so, I ask my students to write the title of a song they want to hear. It is incredibly easy to find videos of songs in English. You can even find covers and features of most of famous songs, which is a great advantage in English teaching. Sometimes, I take some words that I put at the end of the song in alphabetical order so that they put them in the right place after watching the video.
 You tube has not only songs, but grammar quizzes, explanation of some aspects of grammar, examples of how some words are pronounced, topics for conversation and many other things.
I use most of these videos depending on whether the students belong to That's English or they attend the classes regularly. With the basic level students I mostly use the pronunciation videos, because they want to know how the words are pronounced and with the advanced levels, I use the grammar videos,  the listening comprehension or the speaking ones.
Besides youtube, there are plenty of other pages that offer audio or video like elllo or the British council page. I try to use them often since they provide students with real conversations which help them to improve their pronunciation, intonation and listening and speaking skills.
I forgot to mention that in our school we make use of eScholarium, which is a platform that on the one hand can be used to show our students what we have done in the previous lessons, and on the other, to do interactive activities that assess their learning progress or it just creates a relaxing atmosphere that fosters their involvement in the teaching-learning process. 
In my school there is also a radio project: (radioedu) and some of my colleagues record some of the activities and send them to the radio in the form of podcasts. I am not part of this project because with That's English groups and the groups of students that come regularly (six in all) I am pretty busy, but I would like to be part of it in the future. 
Of course most of us use the smartboard and and other TICs in order to prepare our lessons and also so as to make our classes more entertaining and dynamic.

(#Profetubers_ex) Diario de aprendizaje 1

      Hi guys, today I've started a new task. Sorry for taking so long to write something here, but I've been pretty busy dealing with my facial palsy and my students' exams. I really want to be a good teacher, and in order to be so, I need to know more and more about new technologies. The course I have just started is called profetubers and I hope to learn a lot about how to deal with video editing and any other stuff I can learn here. I really hope this helps me in order to upload videos to my blog and eScholarium. Wish me luck!👍

What are you thinking about?

Every second there's a new thought, and it is probably different from the one you had a second ago. So, what are you thinking about right now? Is it about your next holidays? Do you have the February exams weighing on your mind? Whatever it is, I am pretty sure people would like to know about it. Because one of the things which are common in most human beings is curiosity. Have you heard the saying "Curiosity killed the cat"? I am a curious one and I can tell you I'm dying to know what is  the thought that is making you smile, or sad, or nostalgic. Write about 20 words telling people about it. Make other people smile and at the same time, put your writing skills into practice.

That's English

Hi guys, have you had a good summer? I hope so. I also hope you haven't had to deal with the noise of air-conditioning machines like me. But autumn has come and I think it will take all the annoying sounds of the summer as it usually does. Well, have you taken up English or have you decided to continue your studies and make most of your time? In that case you have made the best decision ever Whether you are in the basic level, the intermediate or the advanced one, you will probably need the That's English app.Besides installing the app, you will need the documents and media you will be given, when you make the registration. This is a youtube page where you can find the videos for the lessons of the different units. In case of doubt, if your books are not available, you can see the tapescripts of the programmes here. I will try to add things for every unit of modules 3, 9 and 11. Let's walk together to achieve the main goal of a learner of English, which is being communicative competent in the aforementioned language.

Feelings

We are not always feeling happy or sad, good or bad. As a matter of fact, we are more likely to be down in the dumps, scared stiff  or fascinated. That means we have to learn other adjectives so that our vocabulary is more varied and less poor. Let's start with adjectives like these ones. And then, Who knows? From there to C1 in a few months. 

“There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison” 
― Jane Austen, Persuasion

Modal verbs of probability

There are some occasions on which we must make guesses as regards things people have done or said, and there are grades of certainty we should know how to express. Are you ready to learn and use this new knowledge?
