hey have read. The site also recommends books to students. Even thIt was rather hard for me to find blogs used in international schools or classrooms, but I managed to find one HERE! This blog is used through a library at the American School of Brasilia in Brazil. The blog allows the students and the teachers at the school to post comments and pictures about books tough some of the books are rather outdated for my age group, I found some of the content of the books rather entertaining.
Another international can be found HERE. This blog was created by a teacher, Jimbo, who is from Iowa but now teaches in English in Japan. Jimbo was not given a curriculum when he started teaching at the Japanese Middle School, so he had to create his own assignments. Jimbo experiments with different techniques like fill in the blank essays to see if the Japanese children can correctly fill in the correct English word. He also shows videos in English and asks the children to explain what they saw to check their comprehension levels. Jimbo uses a pairing strategy by pairing the students so that they will not feel as disappointed as they would if they get something wrong. I would like to teach English internationally one day, so I will continue to check Jimbo's blog.
