This week I've found a lot of resources for my classes, covering all kinds of activities (Listening, Speaking, etc). I believe that the most interesting activity was Project Task 2.
Nicolici Nadina Carmen's project report was very helpful, since I teach at a similar college, located about 150-200 km form hers. So, the social and cultural backgorunds (which are very important in teaching) are very similar.
The fact that she managed to work with students of different levels and to draw them was inspiring for me. As she pointed out, one of our major problems is that students don't read any more. Finding a way to encourage them to read (which leads to an enhanced vocabulary, but also to a spiritual evolution) is always a problem (at least in Romania).
The problem can be partially solved by providing them these tools (blogs, wikis), where they can express in an environment partially controlled by them. Knowing that they have some control or a real contribution to ongoing debates on various themes can encourage them to read more.
Best regards,
Anca
