<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The trigger for the present work on the concept of silence was an article in “Advanced Expert” about Foley artists, sound artists that mimic the actual sound sources of films in a recording studio. The text was packed full of verbs that describe sounds and actions, the exact meaning of which can be understood only by listening to and producing the actual sounds or doing the actions that cause them. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For want of a “film” Foley session, we organised a “story telling” Foley session. The story chosen was “The Sound of Silence” by Katrina Goldsaito. </span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As a first step, pages of the story were handed out to pairs of students in random order. After reading them carefully and deciding what part of the story their bits belonged to (beginning, middle or ending) they interacted with their classmates in an attempt to put the story together, which they succeeded in doing although not without effort!</span></b></div>

<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Following their amazing performance, we proceeded to analyze the lyrics of the song.

<b><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This project is the result of CAE B students' work with the song "Seven Years" by Lukas Graham. As a warm up, they did an activity called "4 corners", which involved walking to the corner of the room representing their favourite age (4 pieces of paper with the numbers 11, 20, 30 and 60 were posted in each corner of the room). In groups they brainstormed the reasons why that was their chosen age and then shared their ideas with the rest of the class.</span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After watching the video of the song, I asked them to go home, look for a photo of their childhood they would like to share with their classmates and think of three or four lines to explain their feelings about the photos. I told them to imitate the rhyming patterns of the song, so that the descriptions would resemble short poems. Some weeks later they brought their work to class, passed the photos round and read their poems. As a follow-up, I suggested making a video of their photos and poems with "7 years", the song that inspired their work, playing in the background. The video was compiled by Uriel Palacios, who is an expert in visual arts.</span></b></div>

students are very hard-working and creative, but they are not very
fond of following rubrics, so they wrote haikus on the topics they
pleased, and I would like to share them with you because, as they
said, it’s not easy to write a haiku, and some of their productions
are very profound, and some really light-hearted.

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>How we came about the idea of a comic strip... </b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 14.6666669845581px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b style="line-height: 14.6666669845581px;"><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b style="line-height: 14.6666669845581px;">Back in April I invited my students to prepare something to celebrate World Book Day.</b><b>One of the ideas was writing a review of their favourite book to be uploaded in our Virtual Classroom. We had dealt with reviews the previous year and there are several avid readers in our class, so I thought that sharing information about their fave reads would really appeal to them.</b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>I also suggested designing a comic strip where books in a library talked to each other, knowing there is a student who loves both reading and drawing. She was the one who prepared the artwork for the book Discovering Argentina, which the class sent to participate in <a href="http://arciadvancedclasses.blogspot.com.ar/2013_10_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Macmillans Cultural Reader Competition</a> in 2013. </b><b>The outcome of all this was first Raúl’s work, which was actually a mix. He wrote a <a href="http://arciadvancedclasses.blogspot.com.ar/2014_05_01_archive.html" target="_blank">composition </a>where characters from some of his favourite books interact with each other in the library. </b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Then Carolina came in and offered to adapt the composition to a different format: a comic strip. We had some discussions as to how the work could be best adapted so that it could appeal to a wider audience, and that’s why some new characters were introduced and others dropped.</b><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>We decided that the aim of the strip was to encourage people to go to the library and read. That’s why the poem <i>Library Poem</i> by Julia Donaldson is included. Here we would like to acknowledge ARCI teacher Laura Lupo, who prepared a wonderful contribution for Multimedia called <i>The Magical Power of Books</i>. My students read that poem when they attended MM some months ago.</b></span></div>

To carry out the work, we made use of the tools that the new technologies provide. We worked collaboratively both in class and at home through the Internet using several online tools like Google docs and forms to create a survey and write reports on the survey results, as well as some essays regarding the use of the new media for everyday communication.</span></span></div>

And at ARCI we did start enjoying the experience last Wednesday, April 23rd, on World Book Day! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We celebrated it with a BookWalk. A Book what? A BookWalk! Based on the worldwide movement known as Bookcrossing, we coined the motto: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>bring, read and release a book. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Students, teachers, and other staff members were invited to bring a book- either in Spanish or English- for about a week before April 23rd. Then, on the Big Day over 70 books were displayed on ARCI’s premises: on the main staircases, tables, chairs, windowsills, for everybody to hunt the one they liked, take it home to read, and later release it in our institute for somebody else to be able to enjoy it, again.</span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This project was the follow-up of “Feeding the Mind”, a unit in the coursebook, “Objective Advanced”. As the students had shown interest in a painting by Gainsborough, I thought they might enjoy interpreting one of their choice. I asked them to choose a painting they liked and then brainstorm 4 or 5 words. After that, I told them to write a short poem including those words. Finally, I invited them to think of a song that matched the spirit of the painting and the poem. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Upshot: when they presented their work, I was speechless. I was amazed at the quality of their work. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wondered, “How come they were able to do this with such little input?” </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Answer: the so much neglected role emotion plays in classroom motivation! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Historically, the psychological components of cognition, motivation and emotion have tended to be considered separately. However, Meyer and Turner (2002) suggest that, in real life situations, the three concepts operate synergistically. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Conclusion: the role of emotions should not be underestimated in language teaching. </span></div>

She will be in charge of showing the different corners of our country and telling you about our customs. <br /><br />We believe that a good sense of humour helps understanding among people, which is surely Macmillan's aim with the Cultural Readers devoted to different countries in the world.<br /><br />We have decided that our tourist guide should be Mafalda's daughter, Maria Paz (our own creation). Mafalda is a comic strip character from Argentina, probably the best-known Argentinian cartoon character abroad. This comic strip was written and drawn by Quino (an Argentinian cartoonist) and it appeared in newspapers and magazines between 1964 and 1973. It's been translated into many languages. <br /><br />Mafalda is a six-year-old girl who cannot understand many things that are happening in the world or things that adults do. Mafalda is truly worried about world peace and the future of humanity, which is why we have chosen María Paz (Peace in English) as her daughter's name. She thinks adults are doing things wrongly. She is a very curious girl whose 'naive' questions are really thought-provoking.<br /><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">“<i>It is a truth universally acknowledged that</i>…” –quoting Jane Austen’s opening line of Pride and Prejudice – adolescents have developed a strong negative attitude to <b>writing</b>. So, I find myself invariably squeezing my brains to figure out how I can make <b>writing</b> more appealing, more authentic, more creative for my FCE students. In Unit 4 of FCE Result, they are asked to produce a review of a film. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Therefore, I thought it’d be far more motivating and engaging to start with a class discussion of films in general – different kinds, films they’d seen or would like to see, films they would or wouldn’t recommend at all. They worked in groups, exchanged opinions, agreed or disagreed about the messages sent by some films they discussed and, most importantly, they naturally used loads of meaningful, thematically related language. The final step of the activity would be, of course, writing the review. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I do not know if they had a good time while writing it at home. I choose to think they did. Anyway, if it was half as much as the fun they had while discussing the movies in class I believe the task was successfully accomplished. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">With a project launched in 2011 for the implementation of <a href="http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/" target="_blank">Exam Classes online</a>, we have escalated from First (FCE), to Advanced (CAE) and this year into Proficiency (CPE). We are currently offering all three courses online. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">By going online, ARCI gives advanced learners the opportunity to pull down time and distance barriers, 24/7/365. Students decide when to access their virtual classrooms and from where they connect. All our courses have a real-time speaking component to develop oral skills under the guidance of a class teacher. The syllabus is exactly the same as in face-to-face classrooms, with the same coursebook and support materials. Our courses are taught by experienced teachers who cater for the needs of our students and use made-to-measure digital materials. We combine the best aspects of face-to-face and online teaching.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">FCE, CAE and CPE develop the language competence and abilities needed to sit <a href="http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/" target="_blank">Cambridge English Language Assessment </a>exams (University of Cambridge). Students can choose between the paper-based and computer-based exam format.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <b>Trial by Jury in the USA</b> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In December 2012 the Chamber of Deputies of Buenos Aires Province passed a bill on Trial by Jury. Therefore, Buenos Aires will be the first province in Argentina to apply the system of trial by jury. The jury will be made up of ordinary citizens, and it will
deal with major penal crimes in public and oral hearings.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Córdoba has had a mixed system since 2005. In this province juries consist of lawyer jurors as well as ordinary people. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last April 9th my pupils and I had the opportunity to have a friendly talk with an American citizen, Sandra, who very kindly accepted our invitation to come to our <a href="http://www.arci.org.ar/index.cgi?wAccion=news&wid_grupo_news=3&wid_news=20" target="_blank">Legal English</a> class to talk on the subject of Jury Trial and tell us her own personal experience as a juror in the USA on more than one occasion. No doubt, a unique chance for all of
us. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is a summary of what we learnt on the topic: </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*A jury is formed from 12 jurors who are chosen by the defence
* Jurors come from different social, educational, and religious backgrounds </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The system of trial by jury is used in criminal and civil cases except for family ones </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The purpose of the jury is to find the defendant’s guilty or innocence </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*If you can vote, you can be a juror </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*A juror can do any types of job except for any related to the law. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*The State pays the juror 15 dollars a day. He/She can't be fired from their jobs and their employer must continue paying them their salary during the trial </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*They have to be in court for about 8 hours a day </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">*During deliberation they examine all the proof and make a decision. The decision is taken by the majority </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* A juror can be summoned to serve once every 6 years </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* If you have a social security card and you`re a USA citizen, you can get a notice to serve as a member of a jury</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Cases can be as short as one day or as long as a few years </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* If a juror doesn’t show up for jury duty, he/she will be visited by the police at his/her house, and can be forced to go to court
* Jurors are not excused from jury duty until a verdict is reached </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">* To reach a verdict, the majority must agree </span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Reading for pleasure is an activity that is commonly taken for granted. Although many readers are initially interested in developing their reading skills for very practical reasons, reading for pleasure provides an ideal opportunity to introduce them to a range of experiences that cannot be explained in words. If this skill is fostered as from a very early age, it may result in many advantages for the future of the students.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Inspired by this introduction, my FCE Adults´ students decided to develop a reading project with an ambitious aim in mind - letting the small ones experience the pleasure of enjoying a short story simplified and read for them.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">From the range of different short stories proposed by our Area Coodinator, we pondered on the different options, eager to find the most appealing one for the kiddies, taking into account different aspects such as the level of cognitive complexity, the motivational interests of the stories and the degree of difficulty from a linguistic perspective. </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Having evaluated all these aspects and after extensive discussions, we finally concluded that the most appealing story would be “The Shepherd’s Daughter” by William Saroyan. We developed a simplified version which we considered appropriate for the level of students attending 3rd and 4th Year Kids and prepared a Powerpoint Presentation to make the story more visual for them. </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On November 14, we invited these two classes and offered this project as part of their End-of-the-Year Party. Our classroom was soon filled with smiling kids with anxious eyes and broad smiles ready to enjoy the performance. The story was vividly read by some of my FCE students while others were in charge of the slides and some follow up questions to check understanding, plus a final Hangman to consolidate the correct spelling of the new vocabulary. </span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Everything resulted in great success and the kids’ motivation and excitement left us all with the certainty that reading stories to the little ones is a pleasure that cannot be compared to many fun activities our present world can provide. Definitely, if a child can be motivated in learning, we are on the right track to get the best of our future world.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> “Which could be a meaningful topic, one which would motivate my students to engage in a heated discussion and collect data to write a report as a follow-up activity?” I wondered. And then, while watching the news on TV, it dawned on me that my students would very likely be casting ballots in 2013 Congressional elections and I thought about the <i>Teen Suffrage Bill</i>.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />When I put forward the idea to my First Certificate classes in Cultural Centro and Cultural Norte, everybody responded enthusiastically and in no time at all they put pen to paper to design a set of questions to prepare a questionnaire. They decided they would visit other classes and find out how their peers thought about “being given a right they haven’t asked for”. Here I´m quoting Sofia Rossin, one of my students, who very solemnly established her position about the TSB.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />A total of 47 students were interviewed – FCE “C”, FCE “E” and FCE “H” in Cultural Centro- and in Norte we visited Pre -First. We were warmly welcomed by the “host classes”, who willingly answered all the questions my students had so conscientiously prepared. They took down notes of ALL the opinions, arguments and viewpoints provided.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />The next step was talling the information gathered and drawing conclusions. Finally, working in groups, they wrote a report considering the suitability and acceptance of the bill.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />Although most of the students interviewed were familiar with the TSB and said they usually discussed politics with their friends, families and teachers, they vehemently opposed the bill. On which grounds ? Basically, it seems they do not feel responsible enough to vote and that being given voting rights at 16 would definitely not motivate them to participate in the democratic process of our country.</span></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />To sum up, I believe it was a truly fruitful, interactive activity. All the students, the interviewers and the interviewees felt they were being listened to, that they had a say on their future. In other words, they felt they had <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g0kCJ0N908iQU-mWGXhRae4YVlQ2uF9YY06eoej8BmU/edit" target="_blank">A VOICE</a>.</span></span></b><br />
