Online Revision for NI2

Dear NI2,
let me remind you that the book we've used in class offers you online resources to help you revise. Here's the link for you to double-click ;-) 

My colleague Míchel always finds the coolest stuff. This video had me laughing tears from start to finish. Thanks a lot, Mitch!

Love these people's good vibes!

Kindness meter

Dear NI2,
this is the object I told you about in class yesterday, whose exact name I couldn't remember. It's called "kindness meter" (not "charity meter"). 

You can find the definition from Wikimedia here

Funny Talking Animals

You may not understand everything, but I thought it was funny anyway... And you can also think of the names of the animals that appear in the video for revision...
Happy Saturday!

Writing Models

Dear All, 
here's a page where you can find several models for texts you could be asked to write in the Certificate exam. Thanks to my colleagues at EOI Logroño, who did a great job!

Spelling and numbers

Hi everybody!
I've noticed you sometimes have problems spelling names quickly and saying numbers. So here's an exercise I propose: in the list below, you'll find the names of people who were important for Education at some point in history. Some of them, unfortunately, did not approve the education of women. You may want to reasearch a bit and learn something about these landmark names.

Anyway, the task is: Spell their lastnames and say the dates of birth and death. For example: "Aristotle, which is spelled a-r-i-s-t-o-t-l-e, was born in three hundred and eighty-four and died in three hundred and twenty-two before the Christian era"

Of course you don't have to write anything; this is supposed to be an oral exercise.;-)

Hypatia (350–370 B.C.E.)
Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.E.)
Plato (428 - 347 B.C.E.)
Socrates (470 - 399 B.C.E.)
Antonio de Nebrija  (1441-1522) 
Martin Luther (1483 -1546) 
John Amos Comenius (1592 - 1670 )
John Locke (1632-1704) 
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712 - 1778)
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797)
Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852)  
John Dewey (1859 - 1952) 
 Maria Montessori (1870 - 1952 )
Virginia Woolf (1882 – 1941)
Friedl Dicker-Brandeis (1898 - 1944)

Morning!
My colleague Míchel posted this video on his blog, and I found it so funny that I had to share it, too ;-)

NI2 - Listening Comprehension

Dear NI2,
here's the link to the programme we listened to yesterday in class. Listen again if necessary and read the transcript if you like. As I told you, there are loads of programmes with transcripts on the NPR, so make good use of them!
