Dear Top Flex students. Welcome to this semester, to my class and to our page. I saw this video on youtube and I thought you would like it (if you haven’t seen it already). I just want to say I care for who you are and I want you to achieve the English proficiency you are looking for. I believe this is a good start. Hope you keep vising this space to find ways to improve your language skills. Please, just click on comments and leave a short message.

    Dear Nina,

    Thanks a lot for your kind comments. I really like working with this group. I owe great part of the work I have doneto what I have learned on BaW07 and other online events I have been taking in the last 12 months. Of course, I could not forget to mention the encouragement I have received from colleagues like you.

    Excellent blog !!!
    Jose, your students love your blog,I’m sure.
    What a good video you used. When I read that your students are air traffic controllers I thought about Argentinian truobles in Ezeiza because of the radars.
    Maybe a good point to comment in your blog, because is a topic they can be interested. Just an idea.
    See you. Hug and kisses for everybody
    Susana

    Hi Susana,

    We are having a great time with this blog. Thanks for your comments.
    This video is really good and it connects students to their job and I found the background Portuguese mixed with English and the song really poetic and powerful.
    Not all my studens are air traffic controllers, though, but I will think about your idea.
    Thanks a lot.
    Jose Antonio
