Learning English with TikTok

After a long time without writing in this blog, we’re back.

TikTok is known for being used by young people who share dances or dub videos with preloaded audios, but there’s a whole world of short tutorials and other kinds of interesting videos that can be helpful for you.

We would like to share with you the work of two teachers who share interesting tips to learn English on Tik Tok.

The first one is John Plus English (previously known as Cork English Teacher) and you can find him on Instagram as well. John shares his own materials and mini-lessons and they include vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and much more.

Our second recommendation is Maria speaks English, this young teacher explains vocabulary, songs, pronunciation and other tips both on TikTok and on Instagram.

Why don’t you leave a comment saying what you think about these ways of learning English?

Welcome

Are you ready? We are! Just a short post to remind you that we are back at school and eager to start learning with you again. Ready, steady, go!!

A Building with History

Our students from Competencia Comunicativa, Francisca Lema and Patricia Arencibia have developed a wonderful project with pictures from the building of our school from the beginning of the XX century to nowadays. These pictures tell a wonderful story. Why don’t you take a look?

Validation

This is another great article written by our student Carlos Mateos.

A short activity in one of our lessons called Say something nice (see this link) reminded me this short film entitled Validation (2007).

(Automatic subtitles can be enabled, although they don’t work perfectly. Other copies of the video can be found, even with Spanish subtitles.)

It’s 15 minutes long. If it’s too long for you, I recommend watching it in two parts, from the beginning until watching “NOTICE OF TERMINATION” (7:36) and the rest in this link.

I hope you like it. Maybe, it touches your heart!

Do you think the attitude of the main character is believable? Do you like it?

Adele – Hello

Today we’ve had a whole lesson about Adele and her new hit. I would like to know why the success, why all this fuss around her. Who knows?

The truth is this song is in my head since the moment I heard it for the first time. Isn’t it in yours?

Here you can see the videos we saw in class, in case you fancy watching them again.
