WELCOME!

Welcome you all to our blog!

By navigating through our blog, you will be able to see all the activities which we have been doing during a university course in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona called "Autoaprenentage de l'anglès com a segona llengua i les seves aplicaciones tecnològiques".

And, more importantly, you can follow and do them yourselves if you want to work autonomously on innovative teaching methods and the use of new technologies in application to classroom environments.

In the summer, or as a complementary support to your studies, you can carry out the same activities that we have been doing. You will learn a lot about how to implement lessons using these still underdeveloped teaching methodologies.

Do not be afraid of employing computers for academic purposes. They are an allies, not enemies. When you get used to them, you realise that things are much easier. Also, working with computers is preferred by a large number of students today and thus they will feel much more at ease if interactive devices start taking over.

On the right, you have a calendar with all the sessions scheduled for you in case you wish to perform the activities proposed. Each activity corresponds to one week. In each entry, you have an explanation of what the exercise consists of, the materials you need and one or two examples you can have a peep at to have a model or to correct your own work.

We hope you fancy it and do it yourselves. Publish any comments, problem or suggestion you would like to share with us and with all our visitors.

Good luck!

Marta & Jose
