Assignment for June 5th

Dilemma

There are some bilingual schools that teach most of their subjects in English. Should a Mathematics teacher learn English or should an English teacher learn Mathematics? Is it fair for the teachers? It's a dilemma that many bilingual schools are going through. Is it better to hire a native speaker who majors in Mathematics? (Mathematics is just an example, it can be Philosophy, Science, Art or the like.) In that sense, Chilean teachers are being set aside from bilingual schools benefitting foreigners.

Waiting for your posts. Regards.

Assignment for May 29th

Thank you for your posts. They are a contribution for everybody. I can see your enthusiasm for participating and putting your English into practice giving your opinions and points of view about different topics.

But let's get down to business. The assignment for next Friday is a question:

What was the best presentation that you could see during the past month?

There were 16 presentations, so you must have seen one of them at least. Give your arguments using the criteria established in the peer evaluation rubric or your own points of view. Be consistent and professional in your arguments.

The presentation that receives the biggest number of votes will get a special present. Needless to say that you are not supposed to talk about your own presentation.

Waiting for your posts. Best regards from your teacher, Marcela.
