I am a secondary teacher of English in Southern Spain. I studied MFL in Jaén and I got a DPSI certificate in Law in England. I started my teaching career in Newcastle back in 2000, where I lived for 3 years. Once I returned home, I taught in a public school and got ready to sit the "oposiciones" exam, which I passed!!! Currently, I am teaching in Spain, which has become my definite residence in since 2004.

'Tis a season to be jolly!!!

Yes!!! Xmas time is here again and one can feel it in the air. Students are a bit anxious, teachers are exhausted with marking and language lessons are filled with carol singing and filling the gaps activities!!!
I just wanted to WISH EVERYONE MERRY CHRISTMAS! Good trip to Emma and Carly! Have a safe journey home and please! bring back some sweets!

Finally, as some students seemed to enjoy this, LITERALLY, breath-taking Xmas carol, here you are and practice to boredom. (South Park-styled video!)

Visit to Dorset (UK)

For those who may not know, the school is establishing close links with a British school: The Sir John Colfox School in Bridport, Dorset. My visit will mark the beginning of a partnership to work together so that you and the British pupils can work in projects together, do an exchange in this academic year and unite efforts in common activities. You can read a bit more about this piece of news published last 5th October in the local newspaper "Diario Jaén".

BBC Radio Player. Alicia Keys interview

BBC Radio Player

I listened to this interview to Alicia Keys on the radio! Click on the Jo Whiley show: Alicia Keys in the live lounge. She has a slow and sweet voice, worth listening. At the end, she sings her own version of "How to save a life" by "The Fray". You can try other possibilities from the list if you fancy!.
Let me take this opportunity to tell you about a really cool music web! http://www.musicovery.com/ in which you can click on the style you want AND choose the song you like from the display offered. Have a go and enjoy!!! By the way! Thank you Miguel for sharing it with us!

Declaration of Independence.

We all have just one life. Making the most of it is our duty and most important job ever. Be whatever you dream of yourself and work hard for it. This is a song of strong feelings by Styles and Pharoahe Monch. Hope you'll like it as much as I do.
