[ELTeCS_PERU] Fwd: Shakespeare Lives in 2016: Free Online Course | MOOC Exploring English: Shakespeare





Exploring English: Shakespeare
An invitation to explore the life, work and legacy of William Shakespeare
For the attention of
Cesar Klauer
Universidad de Piura

Dear Mr. Klauer::

2016 will mark 400 years since William Shakespeare’s death. It is a unique moment to celebrate his genius and the inspiration he has given to billions of people through the ages.

We want to invite you to be a part of Shakespeare Lives, a worldwide programme of activity to celebrate Shakespeare’s work and his enduring global influence and impact. The first activity which we encourage you, your colleagues or your students to join is a Shakespeare MOOC.

Our free, six-week online course will look at the life, works and legacy of William Shakespeare, while giving participants the chance to practise their English language skills.

The first week will look at Shakespeare’s life and times, using two short documentaries to take you on Shakespeare’s journey from his birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon to the Globe Theatre in London. For the rest of the course, we will look closely at a different play each week. Shakespearean actors from around the world will help us explain and explore the universal themes in Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing, The Tempest and Macbeth.

Our video tutor will guide you through the course and look at the legacy of words and phrases that Shakespeare introduced to the English language. Short quizzes will check your understanding and you’ll be asked to share your ideas and opinions on the topics Shakespeare raises.

The course will be run in partnership with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.

The material is designed for non-native English speakers who have studied English to around intermediate level (approximately B1 on the CEFR)

Start date: 11th January 2016


Please feel free to share this message with your colleagues or students so that they can also join this interesting online course and that they can also become as enthusiastic as we all are about Shakespeare Lives.

If you have any questions about the Shakespeare Lives programme, our Arts Manager Luisa Michelsen (Luisa.Michelsen@britishcouncil.org) is available to assist you. You may also visit the Shakespeare Lives website for full information about the international programme.

Fwd: The Perfect Place to Spend Christmas- Winning Articles

First Place

THE PERFECT PLACE TO SPEND CHRISTMAS by Noelia Arcondo Vargas (San Borja. Advanced 6- 4:00pm)

Imagine the perfect place to spend a memorable Christmas, which you can share with the people you love, having fun and getting to know the authentic meaning of this celebration.

In Apurimac, located in the Peruvian Andes, you can live the true spirit of Christmas.  It is there where all temples show the nativity scene of Jesus in many creative ways inspiring peace and love. In this city, Christmas celebration is not only on the 25th of December, but actually from the beginning of December. Since then, you can feel and breathe Christmas mood; the streets are decorated with the typical coloured lights, there is advent celebration in the churches and tourists can enjoy dances and songs of consecration performed by the local people.

Spending Christmas in Apurimac renovates people’s hearts, filling them with joy and peace. This happens away from the common place which is full of problems, pollution and the greed for material possessions growing in our heart. In my personal experience, I must admit that travelling to Apurimac in these dates would make you feel as a little child expecting those new experiences that you will live.


Second Place

SHOULDN’T YOU COME BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE ONCE HAPPY? by Hugo Martel (Pueblo Libre. Advanced 4- 4:00pm)

From all the places I have been to, Göttingen is my favourite. I spent two and a half years there and I met the most interesting people I will ever know.

When Christmas arrives, the whole city turns into a big Christmas market. All around the place you can find colourful stalls, where they sell this delicious, traditional, cherry flavoured wine. However, what impressed me the most was the play show at the city hall every single year. As you get into the room, you’re given special effects, such as lights and whistles, so you can be part of the performance. For me, it was the first time I felt part of something bigger than me. A ball closes the night as the Town’s highest social event.

Having to spend Christmas away from my family was really hard for me. But I never felt lonely. Do you know why? Surrounded by heart-warming people in such a wonderful place with a huge variety of activities, how could ever feel lonely? From that moment on, this city became my family.

[ELTeCS_PERU] CTS Fifth Academic Event

Dear colleagues

It is with great pleasure that we closed our academic events on December 5th not only with full attendance but also with a good response to our request of taking presents to provide a different Christmas for some of the kids at A.A. H.H Saul Cantoral. Thanks very much for that!!!!

 At the end of the V Facebook event,  the teachers who had done the Cambridge English First, TKT Young Learners, TKT CLIL and the CTS Course Teaching English Pronunciation received their Certificates. Some teachers even collected two Certificates having done the two TKTs or the Cambridge English First and a TKT showing that when there is a will there is a can. Some of them studied Saturdays and Sundays to be able to have a sound preparation for their exams and they certainly achieved their purpose.

We would like to thank our teachers of English not only for their effort but also for their inspiration. It really inspires us to see people who feel enthusiastic about their jobs, their lives and families. The good energy they transmit is contagious and oblige us to follow the example and get even more enthusiastic about what we do, thanks for having the faith to consider us as your trainers.

 We would also like to thank Ms. Maricarmen Rosas, Marketing Manager of NUTESA for all  their support at providing us with the premises, the coffee breaks, the presents and the publicity for our events. Thanks to her and to Marita Duarte from SM for her always being there to lend us a hand.
It is certainly inspiring to work with this kind of people who know where they are going, that happily make every effort to reach their goals and are determined to achieve what they want with drive and enthusiasm.
 

We would like to share a link with scenes of our last event and remind those who pre-register for the Summer course and the courses: Cambridge English First and Developing English Skills that we will soon send their confirmation and course details.


Happy holidays everyone!!!!
