Dear students,

So here we are again with our "English Language Week". I think it's a good way to deal with English from a different point of view and it's great fun too.

Besides, I'm so glad that this year's topic is MUSIC and I'm pretty sure we'll have a good time with the best songs and bands of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

You all know that this blog means to be a tool for you to take part in all the activities regarding the English Language Week so I'm looking forward to receiving loads of glogs, videos, links, pictures and whatever you may find interesting and worth sharing with your classmates.

To start with, take a look at these videos:
