Old Good Schooldays...

Here we go! As I write this lines, I´m in my third day here in U.K. Three very plenty and busy days, including first meetings, first classes, first school trips and first meals.

Anglolang school is just great. You can have a look at it here. I´ve got the best teachers I could ask for. Dan, i.e., it´s not only a great expert in education apps, but an outstanding teacher. And it's not the only one. Linda and Elaine, both of them in charge of Language Development, are incredible teachers as well. Alexis is in charge of CLIL lessons in the afternoon, and I can say no less of him. I've got a lot to learn from them, not only about English language, CLIL or apps, but about how they plan and perform at their classes.

Classes start at 9:00 a.m. During the morning we plough through Language Development. First break starts at 10:40 a.m., just time enough for a tea or a coffe before the following session starts at 11:00. The second morning class being longer, as it extends up to 12:50, it includes a little ten minutes break. After that, it's lunchtime. At 13:50 starts the afternoon class, the thematic one, being mine the CLIL class. CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning, which is why I'm here. It's the longer class of them all, up to 16:00. After that, we're done till the next day.

Anglolang also offers us a lot of activities, both during schooldays and weekends, and also in the evenings. Here, evening is the after-dinner time, being dinner at some point between 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. On Wednesdays, there are school trips. Today it was to Leeds and Bradford, and the next week trip will be to York, which I'm looking forward to. Some other day I may talk to you a little bit about our school trips. For the weekend, there's a trip to Edimbourg on Saturday, and I'm planning a bike ride on my own along the Cinder Trail on Sunday. In regarding to evenings activities, it depends. You already know on Monday I went to the Folk Night at The Merchant (read it here). It was not a school-organized activity, of course, but they publicized it. Tomorrow there is another Jazz Night at The Cask, which is very near my hotel. On Friday the school sets up a "Beach Sports Evening". You got the idea, haven't you?

But the scoop arose today. I've been moved from the "beginners" Language Development Class to the "advanced" one. Cheers!
