Yesterday (22/4/08) we had a great concert at our school. Iñaki Fernández and Gabriel Cerbelaud played beautiful classic French and English songs, which our students were able to follow on the hand-outs we had prepared for them.
We all had a great time and look forward to seeing Iñaki and Gabriel again soon. You can play the slide show below to see some of the pictures we took during their concert. By the way, the background music is one of the songs they sang yesterday, Here Comes The Sun, by the Beatles.

Today I would like to recommend another interesting ESL site that my dear colleague Carmen López from EOI Mieres has kindly told me about. It is called ELLLO , which stands for English Language Listening Lab Online. It is a collection of over 1,000 listening activities that students can view free via the internet. Most listening activities come with a downloadable MP3 audio file, transcript and interactive quiz. ELLLO offers a variety of listening activities that each target a specific listening skill, need or interest.

Yesterday (8/4/08), we did a listening comprehension activity from this cool site. If you missed this lesson, you can play the audio file below and then you have two options:

a) Print the pdf document you will find embedded on this post and then fill it in with your summaries about Rebecca.
b) Go here to access a form you will have to fill in and then submit to me.
