                                              Week four  (I still excited by week3)

I've got to admit that I couldn't really read everything, had a tough week but as I went through some reading I keep finding good sites,  and those links shared by my classmates too. I just get so excited to have people to share my links with and from whom I can also be sure the links really work. As we this goes on all of us will have so many links and sites from where to take the ideas from, and using the ABCD objectives to keep things in control.
Writing is a problem in my country, since the students  are not motivated to practice these, or if so, it's in such a  robotic way, it's not surprising to find that some students can express themselves better when writing in English this is because only n their English class they're motivated to write their thoughts.
The website http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/  BREAKING NEWS ENGLISH has some interesting reading and writings guide. I definitely  going to share this with my mates from work.
On one of the posts on nicenet was to write about the problem that your group has. I wrote that my students are very talkative in their own language but when it comes to use English they just paralyze, I had my usual meeting on Fridays, time when all the teachers from the institute sit and talk about how their classes are going, the surprise was that they also have the same situation that I mentioned previously.
I hope I can finally find some activities to make them take what they know from inside out.
