Christmas sunset in Valencia. December 2020.

 

Christmas is a very special time of the year in many countries. It is so special that not only families but also close friends gather together and share time, life, love.

Even the sky looks beautifully different.

On this occasion here you have three presentations focused on Christmas. Whether you would like just to read about this time of the year's celebrations, learn about traditions or go through the activities, you will find exercises suitable for learners of different levels. 

I do hope your Christmas time is being fully enjoyed. 

With heartfelt wishes of health and happiness for the coming year.

10 JAPANESE WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Dear all,
You might like to focus your students' activities on a calendar date or event, such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday or perhaps on Christmas.
If this is the case, just go to  

https://maribelmiroenglish.blogspot.com/search?q=Black+Friday 

or

to

https://maribelmiroenglish.blogspot.com/search?q=christmas.

However, if you would like to work on vocabulary and cultural contents, this is the post for you. These 10 words, as is the case with all loanwords, were borrowed from the Japanese Language, but they were never returned. In fact, when people use them they are not aware the words are Japanese: they have been assimilated by the English Language.

There are three exercises. The first one, suitable for A1/A2 CEFR learners of English, that is to say, beginners and post beginners. The second exercise is suitable for A2/B1 learners - post beginners & intermediate students-, whereas the third one is suitable for B1/B2 students, that is to say, intermediate and advanced learners of English.

I hope you find it useful.

HOUSES WITH VINEYARDS. Comprehension Test

France. Chinon. April 2017. 

Dear all, 

These hard times of pandemic throughout the whole world, with all schools and learning centres locked-down, have produced a drastic change in education: all teachers have become online teachers whereas all learners have become distance-learning students. Therefore, online resources have probably become teaching means of the essence. The presentations in this blog can either be easily uploaded in e-platforms or the links can be easily shared as well.

HOMES WITH VINEYARDS is a comprehension test. It includes the following sections: comprehension questions, vocabulary, grammar, and, as a follow-up activity, a writing section.This activity is suitable for B1/B2 learners of English, that is to say, Intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced learners of English.

 Here is the key: https://maribelmiroenglish.blogspot.com/2020/06/houses-with-vineyards-key.html

I do hope you are all fine. Please, take care, stay safe.

EASTER 2020

Dear all,

As far as I know, celebrations of any kind which imply the gathering of people in any society are being cancelled, due to the exceptional situation the world is living nowadays. 

Therefore I would like to upload this link to an Easter presentation designed a couple of years ago.

I hope you like to read it or reread it.

With my best wishes for a happy Easter and healthy life.

FAKE, FAKES, TO FAKE

DO NOT FALL FOR FAKE NEWS. BE IN THE KNOW.

bulo#fake#fakenews#afake#loans#translation#borrowings#learningresources#freeresources#teaching#vocabulary#words#ESL#EFL

Throughout this world pandemic, we have been listening to the news far more often than usual. The word ´fake´ has been turning up not only on Spanish TV screens but also in all the social nets, from Twitter to Facebook without excluding messenger or Whatsapp. 
Perhaps we should have a look at the functions this English word has in the English Language and which ways it has adopted as a loan word in the Spanish Language.

The exercises included at the end of this post are suitable for post beginners, intermediate and post intermediate learners of English, that is to say, CEFR A2,B1 &B2.
In a few days' time, I will upload the key.

I hope you find this post useful and, above all, that you all keep safe and in good health.

My best wishes,

Maribel Miró Pérez
