ENGLISH TEACHING II PORTFOLIO

Hello and welcome to the English Teaching II Portfolio by Beatriz Arbeteta Atienza. In this blog can be found summaries, activities and reflections on the English Teaching II units covered in the 2022 school year. How does it work?   In the "pages" gadget above, there are links to every unit with its corresponding content. Some of them have a further list of links to several entries, and others only have 1 entry, depending on the sub-topics within the unit.  Each entry presents a summary of the theory learnt and an example of real activity that could be implemented in a class using the method described in the unit.  This blog aimed to serve as a guide to any teacher who might be researching on English Teaching . The format of the entries can be useful for anyone trying to learn about innovative ways to teach a class, and it served as a tool to keep track of knew knowledge and organise it.

This document presents a full lesson plan with all its elements. It tackles the topic of sustainability using Project Based Learning as methodology.
