A day in London

Yesterday I took the day off to go visit London which is very close to Oxford. The bus takes an hour and a half to go there and there are several companies that make the journey. I chose one that runs every 20 minutes, and it works even all night long.

The bus stop in London is next to Victoria Station and from there you can visit the Buckingham palace, Piccadilly circus, hide park, Westminster Cathedral by walking.

The truth is that I went to London thinking it would be raining all the time, but in the end I was lucky and the day was gorgeous. Today I'll stay in Oxford and I'll take the opportunity to walk through the city center

Fifth day in Oxford

Fortunately today was a fairly quiet day in class. We did not have much enthusiasm because yesterday we went to bed late. The truth is that we were a little tired. Today we had tutoring sessions to see that we had prepared and we have been advised some changes to teach our microlesson.

In the afternoon I have taken a while to see some shops downtown, not too long because it was drizzling. I need to buy some souvenirs to my family because if not, they won't speak to me in a year!!

Fourth day in Oxford

Today we started with practice. We have to prepare a CLIL lesson of our subject, using the techniques they have been teaching us, so today has been a day of searching for information and preparation of educational materials.

After class we visited the science museum and evening excursion to visit the oldest and most charming of Oxford pubs. We were in "the eagle and the child" where CS Lewis wrote "The Chronicles of Narnia"

Third day in Oxford

Classmates are starting to be comfortable with each other and the classes are pretty funny because they take any excuse to make jokes.

Today there has been no tour scheduled after school, so I took the opportunity to walk around the center of Oxford. The truth is that it is pretty good and most extraordinary is the amount of people there on the streets, especially young people. Oxford reminds me of Salamanca

Second day in Oxford

The classes are quite entertaining and interesting. There are plenty of ideas that can be used to not only to teach a course in English but also to acquire new skills and to help students with special difficulties
In the afternoon we went for a tour of Oxford with a guide. We could see some of the oldest college in Oxford. As he was teaching us the city we had some of the most famous stories and celebrity characters who lived in Oxford, such as Tolkien

After the tour we went to a pub that our tour guide told us it was much visited by Germans and as most of the teachers who went to the visit were Germans, could not resist

First day at Oxford

Yesterday I had my first lessons about how to teach any subject in a foreign language. It was very interesting and I hope I can learn a lot of things to be used at class.

Half of my class are from germany and the rest came from Spain except an italian woman and a Swiss one


Today, we'll have a social activity after classes. We are going to visit Oxford with a guide. There will be social activities every tuesday and thursday and I hope take a lot of nice pictures
