Miley Cyrus - Flowers (Official Video) an excellent trigger for an ELT lesson


Teens love Miley Cyrus.
In this song she gives an empowering message for girls. We can use the song as trigger for an engaging lesson and we can also help students to develop some soft skills so necessary for their interaction in this difficult world.
Here I share the activities based on the song.
Hope you can find them useful.

Can we call this "ART"? / How to start discussions in class.

I came across this video and I considered it a good trigger for conversation.
Would you dare to stay at this hotel glass room? 
Who do you think would enjoy staying there?
Can we consider this "ART"? Why? / Why not?

Remember students can use their mother tongue whenever they want to express an idea for which they lack vocabulary in English. Write the expressions on the board so that everybody can see them and reinforce their use once the discussion finishes.
When students are engaged in sharing opinions, they are more likely to memorise the vocabulary they learn when trying to communicate.

Hope you enjoy this lesson.

Edu Talks at Azerbaijan

 Not only did I have the opportunity to make women's voice heard, but I could also listen to enlightening academicians working on the same topic from each individual perspective. It was a really enriching sharing experience.

Azerbaijan Conference organized by IIU

I'm thankful to IIU and Prof Inga Karchilava for having invited me to speak at this international conference. 
Having the opportunity to highlight the role of women in education and share perspectives with other important academicians is a luxury we cannot access too often. This time I have had this pleasure.

Crucero en familia

Decidir un viaje en familia es la mejor opción que podemos tener. Compartir momentos de relax y alegría ayuda a reforzar los vínculos intrafamiliares.

Este mes de febrero nos embarcamos en una aventura con toda la familia. ¡Gracias, Dios, por permitirnos tener este lujo!


El mayor y el menor compartiendo el emblema de las remeras.
Paisajes maravillosos son muestra de la grandeza de Dios. Compartir semejante belleza con la familia, ver las caritas sorprendidas de los niños disfrutando de cada experiencia, son los mejores regalos que podemos recibir de la vida.




Jugar a ser piratas por un ratito nos permite introducirnos en la trama de los cuentos que compartimos alrededor de libros que relataban aventuras mágicas. Ahora nosotros éramos parte de ellas.


Sentarnos en el balcón del camarote nos enfrentaba a ciudades como Camboriú que se elevan en la costa del Brasil.





Ilha Bella nos ofrecía un paisaje bellísimo.







Luego seguimos viaje hacia el norte y llegamos a Buzios. Allí tuvimos la oportunidad de vivir la libertad de nadar en mar abierto. Simplemente maravilloso.











El mar nos recibe en su superficie y nos mece para reforzar nuestra paz y seguridad. Una sensación increíblemente mágica. Ser parte de la naturaleza. Estar entretejidos en las aguas.















Relajarnos es fácil con tanto confort. Aquí el benjamín juega su rol de turista.


Río nos abrió sus puertas y llegamos a agradecer al Cristo del Corcovado.


La despedida del crucero fue maravillosamente alegre.














Solo agradecer.
GRACIAS, GRACIAS, GRACIAS.
