Hello dear TEFL students/Colombo teachers,
I'm thrilled to see that we now have our very own TEFL blog and I hope you read it and contribute to it.
Let me take this opportunity to tell you how proud I am of you all...for working so hard and taking the TEFL course so seriously. It isn't easy (what's the difference between CLT and TBL?!!) but I know the end results will make it all worthwhile.
See you in class really soon!
Beth
Hi everyone! This is an exciting time for the Colombo Americano to start a blog as part of the TEFL course. I think this will become a valuable tool for communicating with each other and asking and answering questions. We can take the learning process beyond the classroom. Cool!
Hello everybody,
I want to thank Beth and JoEllen for their support. i'm sure we are going to use this blog as much as possible to learn more about educational technology.
Take care and Happy teachers day for all of you. You guys rock!
I just can't wait to be in touch with all of you and share ideas on how to improve in our craft.
Hi guys,
I saw some of you checking the blog. Thanks Anuar for leving a comment. An update for task 1:
The computers in the library need an extra program so you can create your toons. It will be available tomorrow afternoon.
The computers in the resource office are Ok if you ask one of the mentors to let you use them. I haven¡t checked the computers in the teacher lounge. If somebody does please let me know.
have fun with your homework. See u in class tomorrow.
hello willy how are you?
well I already did my homework, but I want to know if you could give us more time to work on our second project because my partners are still working on the first project.
thanks alot
Hello everybody, I already did my homework, if you want to check it out just go to toondoo.com, and type in my name, alejandro hurtado. I hope you like it.
The question of the day:
By the way, do you want to see my begonias?
hello my dear annuar what is wrong with you are you going crazy.
Hello every body! hey! I wanna tell you that I am very happy attending this tefl course. I feel and learning and " relearning" many things.
I want to explain a little bit my cartoon. First of all the character may reprsent all human beings around the word.besides that the setting Africa makes refereces to the place where all humans come from (according to what antropologist say).
And what I mean in the bubble "Sala Malekum" means good morning! may the peace be with you-in arabic.so to me the most important purpose for learning a foreing language is intercultural communication.
Hello everybody, I really had a great time creating my own cartoon, if you want to take a look at it, go here toondoo.com, and you will find it under this name, cristina.
Willy, thank you for telling me that not everybody have the toondoo program, I am in a cafe, they dont't have it so I haven't been able to do my homework. andru
Willy, I want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to work on these kind of programs, actually this is new for me, that's why it has been kind of difficult, but the idea is to learn, any way thanks a lot, I have enjoyed this module.
Begonias:
you can read about this beautiful flowers at
www.begonias.org
There are 800 different types of them and an American Begonia Society founded in 1932.
Of course, my Begonias are unique.
About our second Task for Module 6, TEFL Certificate Course:
I will enjoy reading about Reading so I can improve the way a do my Reading activities in class.
I can assure you guys that I am the luckiest man on Earth becuase I will have the chance to work with two gorgeous ladies: La Rubia Y La Morena. These two women are beautiful like flowers. (Not Begonias, of course).
Hello evrybody,
I'm having the time of my life reading all your comments and learning about begonias (thanks Anuar). I think we have the show on the road now. I have had a great time this week and I have learned lots of things with you. I want to thank you all and I hope you soon start working with on-line resources with your classes.
See u
Hi All,
Check out my toon about collaborative learning; these are the tags.
Willy,
We (speaking group) spent a good amount of time looking for a website that could give us speaking practice. There's plenty of material for class prep and ideas but no direct online outlet -at least free of charge. Are we focusing wrongly?
Ricardo,
It's according to the anthropologist and science. There is no doubt. We're all the same and from the same place. The idea of race is debunked, caput, hot air,false.
Leo,
I understand what you meant about the quest your group is into. I think you should focus on features of speaking like pronunciation, on-line chat, speaking strategies and so on.
Take care
Hi everybody ! I think it is very interesting for us all to start a blog as part of the TEFL course. If you want to see my cartoon, go to the toondoo website and type non-count. See you later. Martha S.

Sandra and Janeth,
Part of being in the TEFL course is to make our friendship stronger to benefit ourselves as professional teachers: sharing, helping one another, growing together in harmony, being patient...
It was an enormous pleasure to have worked with you two on our second task for WillyS, Module 6.
A huge hug.
And don't forget, I'm The King of the Begonias !
Hello ladies . . . and gentlemen
Thanks for making the blog a great space for communication. Rememeber to send all your homework to my e-mail address or let me know hoe to find it on-line through this tool.
take care and have a nice weekend.
P.S. What if we keep on uding the blog till the course is over. Do you agree?
I guess it's up to us not to let this Blog get lost in the lands of "silence", I mean, let's keep talking.
TEFL course end is around the corner guys, so let's put all our effort on the last taks to finish it successfully.
I've been so busy lately that I heven't had the chance to water my begonias.
Hi everybody,
I think we do need to keep on talking through this blog. Cheer up guys you are about to get the goal. I hope you concentrate hard on finishing up your projects, if anybody needs help please do not hesitate to contact me.
Anuar, may your begonias are just too old . . .
