Therefore I used to have a notebook in which I took notes of every single new word I learned and tried to draw and, sometimes write sentences my teacher metioned in order to fix the new expression.Organising these words into groups came as an idea later on. First I just took notes of them disorganasedly, after some time, and realising these words came from different word groups (e.g.: adjectives, verbs, adverbs, nouns, etc) I tried separating parts of my notebook for each of these and, as time went by I had quite a considerable glossary with the exporessions I'd seen in class.This technique helped me a lot revising before my tests and also on the following semesters as I used to keep these notebook for years on.There are other techinques we can use to help us learn new vocabulary, I hope you've enjoyed this one, I promiss I'll bring you more!</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Cheers!</div>Luis Fernandohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05086865387696353088noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33497929.post-56260373588093839452008-04-18T14:28:00.000-07:002008-04-18T14:37:28.765-07:00New Co-Editor<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XOsVqe024eQ/SAkUc91cECI/AAAAAAAAAI4/_jFDHZpOGgY/s1600-h/Union+Jack.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190702533388800034" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_XOsVqe024eQ/SAkUc91cECI/AAAAAAAAAI4/_jFDHZpOGgY/s400/Union+Jack.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="justify">Hi everyone!</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">As a result of the relevance of my personal blog subject I've been invited by Ana Maria to co-edit this blog with her.

I know many teachers are actually afraid of dealing with computers, afraid of trying, not willing to spend their time learning about this new world? I guess after watching this video, teachers will give it a second thought. How can we help the "digital natives" take advantage of what there is available to become more creative, to be themselves and learn their own way?<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_A-ZVCjfWf8&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_A-ZVCjfWf8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object>Ana Maria Menezeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11740832279827124425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33497929.post-34642086608335811322008-03-02T04:43:00.000-08:002008-03-02T05:13:43.160-08:00Fabiana´s Farewell PartyLast night, we said our farewells to Fabiana Bridi who is moving to Australia for a year.

So what did you do, did any of you travel? Well, we coordinators are getting everything ready for a smooth start. You will be receiving your list of groups shortly and our first preparation will take place on 8th Feb at Un Centro as usual. Some of us (Camila Sousa, Danúbia, Fabiana and I) have been attending an online workshop about blogging, if anyone is interested , you can still enroll at :<br /><a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blogging4educators/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blogging4educators/</a><br /><br />One of the member of this group shared a very interesting video with us which I thought appropriate to inspire us for next semester.
