2010 OPEN HOUSE - School of Languages - College of Education- Universidad de Guayaquil, South America, Ecuador
Even though we could not have our scheduled 2010 Open House at the School of Languages due to internal issues, our students showed their creativity and hard work to their own classes and to friends, teachers and classmates. They were very enthusiastic on their presentations. Here we have students Josselyn, Ana and Fabiola, from First Course A1 (Enlgish-Italian, morning session) with the topic: "Movie time and popcorn". They researched and talked about this magical adventure of walking into the lobby of a theater and got this memorable smell of a warm and hot buttery popcorn. They also talked about its popularity, history and myths of this treat.
The information was easy to follow, their pronunciation was good for being first course students. They felt comfortable and concluded the presentation with a rented old-fashioned popcorn machine! Of course, we needed to wait until they finished to enjoy popped salty, buttery and warmy popcorn. I certainly had more than one bag and some soda. It was delicious and salty!!!. It was amazing to see Ana wearing a popcorn costume!. They did a great job and the popcorn was good, too!!
The Open House is usually hosted mid-November and it is perfect for senior high schoolers to visit and learn what it takes to become a language teacher.
