FRIDAY
February 14 * Valentine's Day 2020
Every February 14, people across the world exchange candy, flowers and gifts with their loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. It is considered to be the best day to express your love and care for your special one or even express your feelings to the one you love.
Today I would like to share with you my LOVE for GOOGLE. YES! You have read my words correctly! ... my LOVE for GOOGLE. Let me explain why!
As an ESL
TEACHER: GOOGLE is my favourite go-to search engine. And to boot it is FREE!!! (except for your monthly fees of course from your server). It is amazing how much information (data) is out there!
First of all, it is very helpful to me as an ESL teacher
when I am preparing documents or sending weekly emails
or Fun Monday cartoons and jokes.
Google helps me share information as in a reading activity.
Google Images also help me illustrate a difficult word or expression.
While working I can link onto LONGMAN online dictionaruy
(like I have done with the four (4) words above)
to help students understand the words I use
so they can learn new vocabulary.
Secondly, I can also subscribe (give my email address))
to different sites that complement my teaching strategies.
For example: I am subscribed to PINTEREST
which often is the link that appears from Google IMAGES
when looking for grids – charts – images – pictures - clip art and gifs.
Third, I regularly use the YOUTUBE link, as well. It is useful for listening activities and also to explain English grammar.

Sometimes I
use it as an assistant teacher! ;)
To conclude I would like to say to you, dear students,
who are reading this today, I really want to encourage you to use
this treasure trove of images and information.
GOOGLE will
help you just as much as I when you are working
with the internet. It will help with your English learning whether
it be during the session or when you are working 'solo' at home.
Have a great Valentine's Day with all your LOVED ONES!!!
