ENJOY THE JOURNEY OF LEARNING

A small group of IES Goya students are ready to live an unprecedented multicultural experience and discover the wonders of the world. 

Guided by Nuria Calvo, teacher of our English Department, our students will be connecting on Flipgrid with students from Japan, Turkey, USA, Portugal, the UK, Canada and Russia throughout this academic year. A great opportunity to build up their skills and interact with students learning the language in other parts of the world. And they'll also have the responsibility of being our ambassadors in remote parts of the world such as the Siberian tundra! 

All this, using English as a vehicular language. The journey has already begun....

Stay tuned

IMPROVE YOUR PRONUNCIATION THROUGH SONGS

Watch the video below for the description of four phonological features of English, the mastering of which will help sound much more native-like.

Why not try it now that summer holidays almost here?

The video has been produced by Natalia López, and it is BRILLIANT, just like everything she does.

It leads you through very well-known SONGS chosen to illustrate the features you should practise, so it is much more enjoyable than standard pronunciation exercises.

I hope you enjoy it. I did !!



Look at the infographic with a summary of some of the songs mentioned in the video ( click on the image to open in on a new tab and activate the interactive elements )


Thank You Natalia .

BE A LADY, THEY SAID

Girls, Girls, Girls magazine released  a video titled "Be a Lady, they said" featuring actress Cynthia Nixon, reading a prose-poetry piece by Camille Rainville. 

The video, which was released the same day that Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of rape and sexual assault, collected more than 300,000 views in one day. It was lauded online for conveying conflicting demands on women.

In the video, Nixon´s tone gets progressively angrier as she describes the preassure on women to live for the service of men. From what women look, to how women interact with others, the video covers the many conflicting ways in which we are expected to present ourselves to the world

The video, directed by  Paul McLean, is a disturbingly powerful watch.

Watch it  now.

What do you think? Does it present a real perception of the treatment of women or is it an outdated 1950s stereotype what it shows?  Food for thought .....
