Learners Self-Correction

With most of my mid-terms graded, I've been wondering how I can help students go over their tests after they have been returned. Now that I have read some articles on copyblogger, ESL.Learnhub and InnocentEnglish, I think I have a pretty good idea of how to do that. By using their own examples, students can realize the rules of the language by visiting some ESL websites such as ESLGrammar, ESLGold and American English Online and post something like "Grammar dos and don'ts" on their blogs. This is a meaningful way to learn the use of the structure. It also helps other students in the same class not to make the same mistakes. I can't wait to see my students' grammar tips on their blogs!

Habilidades Integradas en Inglés I

My name is Sandra Lara. I am from Cali, Colombia. I am the oldest of three -one sister and one brother. I am married. I have just returned from a three-year experience as a Spanish teacher in Northern Virginia, USA. I was fortunate enough to get my old job back at Universidad del Valle this fall. I am currently teaching "Habilidades Integradas en Inglés I" and "Introducción a la Práctica Docente". Before traveling to the States, I used to do yoga, karate and attend Feng-Shui classes. I am planning to take all these activities up once I feel comfortable with my old-new rhythm.
