About Me

I am a graduate teacher of English. I have been working for thirty years. I have been through lots of foreign language teaching trends and I have followed them all. But I’ve always wanted my students to get involved in their own process of learning. We teachers can artificially create the need to learn, the need to communicate but only if students go beyond the single moment of the class, they can appropriate the language and in doing so, they stop feeling that English is an appendix and they manage to approach it as just a tool to communicate. I strongly believe the web 2.0 tools can help to achieve this goal.


Soy profesora de inglés como lengua extranjera. En el 2006 comencé a explorar blogs con la idea de facilitar el contacto de mis alumnos con lectores reales y dejar de ser yo la única lectora de sus trabajos escritos. De este modo se abrió para mí un camino de aprendizaje que no sospechaba cuando hice mi primer click en el ícono de blogspot.
