Hi there!
I've added a link on the right (bottom) so that you can keep informed about the changes brought about by the new laws and curriculum in EEOOII. The blog is maintained by EOI Students; what's happening affects both Students and Teachers!

All - Strategies
Dear All,
I've added a new link on the right ("Strategies") where you can read about strategies for the different skills (in Spanish). Learning is a process in which you have a high degree of reponsibilty. All students should question themselves things like "How can I improve my listening comprehension?", "What am I expected to do when I read a text?," etc.
Hope you find some time to have a look at it!

All - Punctuation IS important. Period.
Dear All,
you know how much I insist on the importance of "little" things like punctuation, since the inappropriate use of periods, commas, colons, etc. can spoil the coherence of a text.
The link to which I'm sending you here is quite an extensive explanation of the uses of punctuation. (It's designed to help University students write their papers ("trabajos de clase") well. Print it out and make your own summary (perhaps underlining what's most important to you).
Hope it helps!

All - Pronunciation
Dear All,
check this poem out, but please don't give up! The pronunciation exercises in the new link on the right (thx Josu!) should help you improve your pronunciation. We'll do some of them in class.

All - The English Alphabet
Hi everyone!
Here's a learn-the-alphabet video for nostalgics... ;-) (Btw, "z" is pronounced differently in American /zi:/ and British /zed/ English). Enjoy!

All - Fun stuff
Hi everyone!
here's a fun video to watch. Let me say, though, that I hate generalizations and making fun of a whole country just because some of its people are dumb...
Enjoy!

All - Writing Guidelines
Hullo!
Here's a link (thx Carmen!) to another EOI in which guidelines are given in Spanish about how to improve your writing. Let me remind you that you also have guidelines and sample texts in your class books!
Hope this helps!
