This blog has been designed in order to share collaboratively with other educators my educational experiences in elementary and university levels. I hope you can enhance your teaching skills by applying these activities during your English language classes.
This video is really fun. Students enjoy singing and dancing this body parts song. You can teach them creating a handcraft, too. You can access this site and you will find out a lot of things to teach English to kids.
Teaching English applying technology is a wonderful experience that children enjoy a lot. When they are at the computer lab, they are asked to sing songs, dance and play interactive games surfing English sites for ESL so they can learn effectively.
I love this song. Children like singing it during my English classes. It is easy and fun for kids. You can teach colors in context because students can identify colors through pictures. Those are first graders at Las Barreras Elementary School.

Teaching Literature is a hard task for teachers to teach ESL students but this site is excellent for learning it effectively. I use these stories during my English Lab classes and students really enjoy them.
Search and you can find more stories to teach little children at www.debbiefriends.net
What are we waiting for? Technology is everywhere and our students are digital learners. We must provide them opportunities to access learning as others are doing around the world. It is not possible that teachers are frustating their students teaching as 20 years ago while they are receiving a digital background at home through social networks, messenger, cell phones, Ipod and Ipad, etc. Fear is the main enemy of those teachers who pretend to apply computers only for typing homework assigments. We are living a new technological era. We need to be updated to be competent to face the society demands.
My students from VI Semester of English Teaching Bachelor's Degree were participating during the Fifth English Week Opening Show at Udelas, Santiago. They enjoyed singing songs for teaching English to kids.
In this opportunity, I had to explain the final project of University Model Education Couse at Udelas. It was fantastic because I exposed the group project and everybody was paying attention to my presentation. I felt great because this project consisted of a virtual magazine for our university.
