Week 5 post and materials for your projects

Hi everyone,

We are almost half way through. Keep up the good work and your engagement in the class. Now the real work starts. You have to apply your knowledge to this project, which will give you all the opportunity to be a teacher in the classroom. Unfortunately, we will not be in the classroom but in our virtual meeting places. However, I am confident that you will overcome this challenge as well.

There are also some videos for you to watch about ways of enhancing your planning of the lesson, since you are starting to make decisions

For those who have not decided their topic yet, below you will find some Webinars videos or slides from American English Webinars webpage:

As for the posting of this week, I have uploaded a new folder for PBL in teams and two readings. One of the readings, which you will also find here raises two questions in the end. Please answer them in your post. This material provides you with some more examples of tools and programs that you can use for the final project.


We will discuss more about this in class tomorrow, actually today :) 

“See” you later during the day!

Final step

 Dear all,  I wish that everything is going well. We have reached the end of our class and this is the very last week of a very long and challenging academic year. I was pleased to teach the same course but with different students and personalities and it gives so much joy and motivates me to further my work.  This is not the last post but it is the last time that I give instructions for your assignments. You finished last week with your peer review task and you have now your report to refine and finish. You are supposed to upload them in the Dropbox by the end of the week. The deadline for this will be Sunday midnight.  Then it is my turn to read them all along with the other assignments and everything that you have done during this course.  I would like to wish you the best of success with your exams. Best,  T :)

The rest of the assignments

 Hello again,  Congratulations to all the groups that have finished with the their mock teaching sessions. You have all displayed your abilities as future teachers and you have done that quite skilfully. What I would really like from you at this point is to become more independent students and not to expect everything from the teachers. With regard to the assignments that are left for the rest of the term, please refer again to the list of assignments and the class calendar, especially for the deadlines. Let me repeat again that all the assignments have to be uploaded in the Dropbox under the relevant weeks. The previous weeks have been removed from the Dropbox so that there will not be any problems with the uploading, however, they are stored in my PC.  We agreed that you upload the assignments of the last two weeks but you will not get full points.  Since we also agreed that the rest of the Blog posts will be topics that you will choose yourself, I would like to r...
