Glogster on Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl is worldwide known as a children's literature author. But he is also brilliant at writing stories for adults. We are reading two examples of both kinds of Dahl's work in class, so look at this poster to get some information before going deeper into the readings.
You've got a video and a game on the Twits and a funny summary of the Landlady that will help you understanding the real text. And of course, you have a video of the author himself talking to some kids about witches. Enjoy it!

Introducing cultural content in language learning

This week we are starting a new subject on English language: English language and culture. You know that learning a language means learning its culture too and that's why I love this new subject.
So, why not reviewing how much we know about some geographical aspects?






And what about this one? Can you locate these cities in the UK?
