Carpe Diem! or Seize the Day will be the teacher's Blog for this 4th EOI 2008-09. I hope the sentence is inspiring enough for you to find your own voice just like the very powerful and intense teacher, Mr Keating, from the book and film we are going to read and watch: Dead Poets Society.
As we are starting a new school year, I encourage you to visit my previous year students’ Blog to see how active and creative they were on: http://stillacer.blogger.com The students’ blogs are on the right column of the Blog.
Do not follow their path; go further. Try to read native speakers Blogs and write comments to them if you find articles and pieces of writing that challenge or interest you.
Remember to use your English outside the classroom as much as you can. Talk to foreigners, read books, watch films in English, pay attention to the lyrics of English songs; try to understand the words while you're listening. Create the habit of reading the news in English, listen to pod casts and documentaries. Find opportunities to practice the language. Your learning is absolutely up to you!!!
I do hope you enjoy learning English as much as I enjoy teaching!
