Italian-English heart: maggio 2009
http://englishunderconstruction.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Lunedì 18 maggio 2009. In this post I want to reflect with you on a concept I've probably already mentioned without talking about it: the Personal Learning Environment. You all know that this blog is part of the toolset for my PLE. That is the system of sources, environments, activities, interactions that let me keep on learning. We, students of languages well know that as soon as one stops keeping in touch with a language, one starts missing it. Moreover, it is based on the increasing recognition of:.

Pucca in Wonderland- Elisa's blog. Martedì 19 maggio 2009. A road map for the future. Summer is coming, and I'm really happy about that! Unfortunately I'm working in an ice-cream shop, so during the weekends, instead of going to the beach, I prepare huge sundaes for hundreds of terrible children! I think this will be my last post about this English course and I'm really sad because I guess this is the VERY last English course of my university career! In order to collect all the tools of my educational en...

Pucca in Wonderland- Elisa's blog: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
http://puccainwonderland.blogspot.com/2009/04/are-you-serious.html
Pucca in Wonderland- Elisa's blog. Domenica 5 aprile 2009. I'm a little bit sad today because it's raining. I want the sun! Anyway, this time I would like to share with you my impressions on an interesting and important aspect of the Web: the reliability of information. When Sarah presented us this topic I suddenly thought about online resources. I almost always take for granted what is written in a 'traditional' book - it's published= it's true! Is the author ( his/her job, previous articles.). Last les...
