GOODBYE MY LOVER, GOODBYE MY FRIEND

HELLO GUYS! As the course is on the final strech, this is our last post. We have been telling you a lot of things during this term, such as our projects, the classes, a bit about ourselves, our exams... The Eighth Wonder is really happy to have walked along this path together! But this is not the end... at all, since the Wonders will always be the Wonders. Moreover, since ends are a good moment for recap and reflect, the Eight Wonder, or to be closer, Noelia, Nuria, Sara, Natalia and Camila, have decided to made a final post with an evaluation of this subject. Well, first of all, as a general overview, the Eighth Wonder have enjoyed a lot this subject. As a fisrt approach, the teachers inspired confidence and passion for their jobs, and that is the main reason why we enjoyed Applied Linguistics that much. The unusual approach of the subject was key, since the classes were dynamic and there was much more practice to apply the theory than theory in the traditional way (which is alway...

THE MULTILINGUAL CLASSROOM (extra credit)

Hello everyone! 🙋 I'm Sara and today i am going to give you my opinion about the multilingual classrooms. 🌍🌎 In my honest opinion i do consider that the future generations will be more multilingual than we are due to the factor that the acquisition of second languages are becoming more important every day and kids nowadays start learning a new language as soon as they are in kidergarden.Because of that I consider it important to promote multilingualism in future classes and today i am going to give you some ideas to aply to your class:  In the first place as Spain is a country that  counts with many international citizens I would ask my local students to choose a language and find some similarities and differences with our culture and language , and the same with the international pupils but applying it to their mothertongue language and with Spanish.   I would also like to make my students become penpals with an international student, which mean...

LAST WEEKS!

Hello everyone, As you already know, projects have finished,and the end of the course is very near. This means that we must give all we can to conclude effectively this course.  Next week we have the second theoretical test, so we are working on it and, at the same time, focusing our study on the final exam. For this, we are carrying out the sixth didactic Unit via Moodle, and reviewing some vulnerable points of the past Units. We have taken a liking to the blog and we will continue posting some of our last movements. We continue taking care of ourselves, and we hope that everything goes well.  #stayhome This is the final sprint!

TECHNOLOGY AND ITS FLAWS

Imagen
Good morning everybody! Here we continue, one more day, working efficiently from home, and thanks to the technological possibilities and their advances. That's right, it is strange to say that technology has flaws and at the same time thank it, but ... we are in the real world, so nothing and nobody is perfect! During the creation of project three we have overcome many obstacles, since what had been planned at first (theme, the application for the development of three-dimensionality, the presentation in class...) has taken an unexpected turn, but we are proud of what we have obtained. We wanted to emphasize problems concealing the two main apps that we have tried to use, starting with Aumentaty [ http://www.aumentaty.com/community/es/ ], and ending with Roar [ https://www.theroar.io/ ]. The app of Aumentaty even had video tutorials in order to make it a simple task but, in reality, our project was not taking the correct shape even though we tried lots of things. So, it was...

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR)

Good Afternoon everyone! We hope you are all safe and healthy in your houses during this hard time and we hope we could see you all again very soon 😀 Finally the wait is over and we can show you our next project: Augmented Reality (AR). The theme of our last project related to the interactive poster was about the space, so this time we wanted to explore something different: The Earth 🌍 To do this project, we decided that we wanted to show our classmates important facts about the five continents: Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania and America. We wanted to show the most famous monuments, the typical gastronomy of thoses places and even the types of animals we can find there. So each member of the eighth wonder chose one of the continents and tried to show in this augmented reality the most relevant facts about them. Now we are going to show you some photos of this project, we hope you like them! If you have liked our project, don't worry about it, because d...
