English Language Week 2011

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:

Hope you like it.

Lyrics training

Dear students,

I hope you're having a great summer. I know you'll be doing many interesting and funny things but if you have some time and you want to improve your English in a different way, Lyrics Training is an easy-to-use website to practise your English by listening to music and writing lyrics.

I think it's cool and really useful. Why don't you try it?

See you around.

Voki

Dear students,

I wanted to show you a new tool which is called VOKI. You can create your avatar and you can customize it, record messages (in English, of course), etc.

This is my avatar (you can even make it younger, attractive..:)

I think it can be interesting if you want to practise your English!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!

Dear students,

This is the original version of "Love is in the air", the song that we're going to use next week:)). We might use a different, more "disco" version, but in the meantime you take a look at the video and so you can become familiar with the rhythm and the words:

These are the lyrics by the way(quite easy actually...):

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

(Repeat Chorus 4X)

Well, get ready for next week!!!

See you around
