1. RESOURCES FOR YOUR WELL BEING:
SUCCESS OVER STRESS
Simple
techniques to:
- let go of tension and stress
- restore your vitality
- stimulate your immunological system and prevent disease
- remain calm in the face of difficult circumstances
We
will achieve these aims through:
- breathing exercises
- visualizations
- gentle stretches
- the use of healing energy
These resources can be used at practically any time, anywhere, since they
are easy to do and they can also be used with your students to teach them
English!!!
Friday, 31 May, 19:00 to 21:00
IMPORTANT:
This workshop will most likely be offered in Spanish on Saturday,
June
8, from 10:00 to 13:00. Please phone SBS
2. SONGS AND RHYMES FOR YOUNG
LEARNERS AND THE
YOUNG AT HEART
Engaging
materials to teach children at the basic level and beyond. This workshop will
present over thirty songs and rhymes to
- motivate young learners
- help them acquire the target language
- assist them in developing listening comprehension and speaking
skills
- cultivate self-esteem
This
will be achieved through
- action (TPR) songs and rhymes
- repetitive elements to make learning easy
- open ended frames to stimulate the learners’ creativity
- simple story based songs
Saturday, 1 June,
9:30 to 14:00
Participants
will receive the lyrics of all of the songs and the text of the rhymes.
Suggestions on how to make the most of them will be given throughout the
workshop. While a few of these songs are well known, many other will most
likely be brand new for a large number of participants since they are not meant
to teach English as a foreign language as such, but can easily be used for that
purpose.
Both
workshops are offered by Oriel Villagarcia,

We would like to finish this issue
of SHARE with a message about teacher
development that our SHARER, Amalia Montalvo has sent us about teacher
development: :
I struggle against other
teachers' laziness and boredom. Just see their faces!! How many times I have
told them: "There is a course here/ a workshop there"; "There
are many new ideas in such magazine..." & so on, and their answers are
always the same! ... We cannot be the same this year and the next ones, neither
our work, because children change, the world changes, everything changes.
We, as teachers, must
permanently grow and let our students grow too, we have to encourage them, give
them renewed and challenging opportunities to learn. If we find or have
enthusiasm, we have to teach enthusiastically; otherwise we become mere workers
whose work is this and for it we receive some money, and that ends the matter.
But we have to "write" something more important in our students'
heart: PASSION or they will find our classes boring and meaningless, and this is
exactly what happens.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!
