Making a Digital Film

Hi everyone!

Would you like to try something fun? Watch this digital film and get ready to make your own.

Culture and Online Communication

To our Canadian and American friends,

Dear Heather, Kara, Nathan, Ben, Jonathan, Abbi and Eric,

This is a video recorded message for you from my students concerning our Culture and Online Communication forums.

Artificial Intelligence

In the not-so-far future the polar ice caps have melted and the resulting raise of the ocean waters has drowned all the coastal cities of the world. Withdrawn to the interior of the continents, the human race keeps advancing, reaching to the point of creating realistic robots (called mechas) to serve him. One of the mecha-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his "mother", Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically. A futuristic adaptation of the tale of Pinocchio, with David being the "fake" boy who desperately wants to become "real".

Welcome to your English Course

Dear students,
Welcome to your English class blog! I have been using blogs in my English classes as an extension of our classroom teaching. Blogs have become an important space to listen to each other. Large classes make it sometimes difficult for everyone to have a chance to express him/herself. So, let’s take advantage of this blog as an space to say all we did not have time to say in class, to express opinions and to share views. Participation in this blog is another way of participation, another way of using your English and a way to expose yourself to the target language. Remember 90% of your learning depends on yourself rather than on your teacher or on the few hours a week you come to class.
I’m eager to hear from you!
