EVO19

This year is my fourth year on EVO:  EVO  means Eloctronic  Village online and  it  offers many free sessions for  educators who are willing to learn and enhance their own teaching.
I am working also as a co-moderator and I am also trying  to do  two courses: I choose  the sessions about  TECHNOCLIL and  the one about  FLIPPED LEARNING.

For  TECHNOCLIL  I have already created my Learning  Diary where I am going to keep the main documents and tasks  I have  carried out in the course.

Here you can find  the  Kickoff of EVO19: you will listen to the voices of the teachers who are working online and maybe you will try to do a course too.

I will post some reflections on this adventure here.

Enjoy EVO19!

Teaching  foreign languages requires a lot of strategies and learners need to be more active in order to better some skills.  Listening skills  can empower our learners but they need a lot of exercise and often we do not have the time to do this in class. I am  aware that it takes time before students can achieve the level of English which will enable them to understand a conversation  or  the news.

Hopefully we can get access to many free resources online.  Radio Garden is perfect !
You won't need to download anything.

It is an interesting free service for listening to the radios from all over the world:  radio.garden/
