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.

Steps to help students practice and improve their English grammar

No, I'm not doing any academic research on the topic. Not yet.

Two weeks ago, I seized the opportunity to do what Larsen-Freeman, Keuch and Haccius (2011) propose in their article "Helping students with English verb tenses". The authors defend the need to present the verb tenses as an integrated system, thus stressing their interdependency and interconnectedness. Once that is taken as a core principle, teaching these forms in isolation without inviting students to grasp the meaning they convey is like heading a horse to water but not teaching it how to drink. So I set out to do just that: by getting them to physically understand our unique capacity as humans to do what I like to call "time switching". It had never crossed my mind to physically and visually represent the verb system before that class and to tell the truth, you could see how much more engaged students were while they were doing the activities. And I got the feeling that similar activities will wo…

Poetically speaking

Last week's post brought the story of Jesus Christ resurrecting from the grave in the form of a poem. This promoted me to share it on social media and ask how other teachers make use of poems in their classes. It led me to a great article with tips  on using poetry in class. Understanding and performing a poem will certainly bring a lot of fun to the class environment; replacing certain word groups in a poem with their own words is excellent grammar practice and consolidation; keeping a poetry circle will fire students up about creativity and innovation.  One suggestion I want to humbly add to that list is getting students to recite song lyrics. It's funny we often use the word 'poetic' to describe a melodious piece of writing or speaking, and song lyrics fall into the first category. Reciting lyrics provide two main benefits Reading out loud the lyrics of a song we love makes us aware of how words caress our emotions, spark memories and change our moods.  It heightens…
