Valentine's Day 2 - Not so sweet Valentine


What do these words have in common? (Click on each of the expressions)

CLOUDS
BLACK WIND
DARKNESS
ASH
COLD NIGHT


Here's a song to help you understand what I'm talking about. Listen and pay attention to the lyrics that show on the screen.






  • What do you think the singer did to be alone on a Valentine's Day?
  • What do you think the "black wind" mentioned in the song refers to?

Valentine's Day (apparently) brings back gloomy (sad) memories for the singer.

  • Is there a day that brings back sad memories for you?
  • What about good memories?

I think these two following lines describe the whole situation :

" I used to have my own protection"
" My path has lost direction"

Sometimes when people find someone to love they lose their individuality.
Be careful not to do so.
My advice is:
Keep faithful to your own projects, plans and dreams, no matter if you`re alone or in good company.
By doing so, you`ll avoid losing your own protection and direction.

After breaking up, good memories and bad memories keep fighting in our mind like the white swan and the black one.
Wanna know which one will win?
The one you feed.
By the way, I can highly recommend the movie. ( The Black Swan). You can`t miss it.

Is that what the Black Swan is about after all? Isn't it funny how good and bad are color coded, whcih in turn, are culturally coded?

I can`t agree more!
After all, it`s just a matter of melanine quantity.

We can also find this code in proverbs and expressions like : "black market", "black bill" , "black list" and “The black sheep of the family”.

Why is the evil represented by the black colour?

That`s right!
I haven`t realized all these associations with black colour.

Here are some more : black dog , blackguard and blackmail.

Correcting:

Instead of melanine, please read MELANIN

My takeaways from BrELT on the Road

Just in!





Coincidence or not, propositions and concepts echoed through the plenaries and concurrent sessions I attended (apologies in advance to those I could not even attend in spirit at the same time).
Jamie Keddie encouraged us to use video to let students create their own narratives and not to limit this resource to practicing target language. Thru video, students can see there are multiple perspectives that contribute to a story and we have individual interpretations of that story. In so doing, they understand there is no right or wrong - we construct meaning based on our pre-conceived notions of reality. This awareness pivotal to critical thinking. The beauty of it all is that we benefit just as much from this method as our students.
Prodding students to see differently or see the unobvious was at the heart of Claire Venables' session "Not a box". By asking students to find new uses and meanings for a box, we are giving young learners a chance to learn language that i…

Yes we can speak English

Guess I'm a sucker for projects and project-based learning. Although this latest endeavor might not be considered a project in itself.
A simple Google search on the use of Whatsapp or other instant communication tools for English-speaking skills development came up with an extensive list of results.
The idea of creating a group to practice speaking had a specific target group - English teachers who are taking an online postgraduate course on language teaching. Many of them miss the chance to brush up on their oral skills, for the simple reason that the classes are online and interaction with the professor and colleagues comes only through text. 
The initiative rekindled a professional goal I had set for myself when I created the blog Help a teacher with their English (it has been discontinued - all related posts will show up here in the future). Nothing like being able to follow through on an idea and see it materialize into something you had not even fathomed in the first place.

Managing Project-based learning: a dual view

This post is the result of a promising collaboration between myself and +André Hedlund : the start of more to come. 
Coordinating PBL - Stephan's part 
Implementing project-based learning in a content-based syllabus has become the order du jour in educational contexts in general and in ELT in particular. Academic directors and coordinators face the responsibility of delivering meaningful, student-driven, student-generated learning opportunities, which, in turn will foster the much sought-after skills of communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. This post outlines my role as coordinator responsible for implementing projects in a language centre as a prelude to André Hedlund’s narrative of his experience with projects at CCBEU Goiânia.
Based on the core design elements of PBL, the text analyses, therefore, the implications in managing projects and ensuring minimal success. The first important point to consider in any project-based or program-oriented learning pro…
