Strategic Reading




  • Focus on the main ideas while scanning the intro and conclusion. 
  • Scan the title, subtitle(s) and chapter. 
  • Skim through the chapters focusing on the topic sentences of each section and paragraph. 
  • Summarize important information (in your own words) after each chapter/ paragraph. 
  • As you read, restate the author´s arguments and topic sentences (in your own words). 

Tips for Conducting Research

Academic Presentation

The word communication comes from the Latin word 'communicare' which means to share. 
Effective communication in a presentation includes clear speech, an adequate tone of voice, breathing and vocabulary which is appropriate for the audience you are addressing. 

There are some things we need to know in advance about our audience:


  • How much do they know about the subject?
  • Why do they want to attend your presentation? 
  • What are the most relevant topics for them?
  • What´s their average age, and their social, cultural and moral background? 

Besides, you should also have information about the place where the presentation is going to take place:
  1. What is the size of the room?
  2. What resources are available to you?
  3. How much time do you have?



A good speaker uses language carefully which reveals to the audience his knowledge and confidence. 
Avoid radical words such as 'always' and 'never'.
Avoid slang, offensive words and jargon. 


How to end a presentation?

It´s polite to thank the audience for having attended it. You don´t need to announce the end of the presentation formally.

English Language Expo 2018

ENGLISH LANGUAGE EXPO 2018: English around the world. Nos dias 28 e 30 de agosto, meus alunos do 6º ao 9º ano tiveram a oportunidade de ampliar seus conhecimentos sobre as nações de língua e cultura inglesa, contribuindo para acompreensão do fenômeno da globalização econômica e cultural, abrangendo os conteúdos curriculares da disciplina Inglês e associando também outras disciplinas. Cada turma ficou responsável por apresentar a história da língua inglesa em cada um dos países selecionados, assim como algumas particularidades locais e aspectos culturais. Os países trabalhados foram: Canadá (6º ano), Austrália (7º ano), Irlanda (8º ano) e India (9ºano).
Antes de escrever os detalhes da atividade, registro aqui o meu agradecimento a instituição de ensino "Centro Educacional Tia Aliner" pelo apoio. 

I- Objetivos: 
Geral: Promover a socialização dos alunos através a disciplina de língua Inglesa. 
Esécíficos: Ampliar seus conhecimentos sobre as nações de língua e cultura inglesa, contribuindo para acompreensão do fenômeno da globalização econômica e cultural, abrangendo os conteúdos curriculares da disciplina Inglês e associando também outras disciplinas. 

II- Passos:

1. 01 mês antes do evento, os 04 países foram sorteados entre as turmas. 
2. Cada turma foi dividida em 03 grupos (História da Língua - Gíria e expressões locais - Aspectos culturais). 
3. 01 semana antes do evento, cada aluno recebeu um "passaporte". Ao visitar cada uma das turmas, no dia do evento, os alunos que visitassem todos os grupos, mantivesse comportamento adequado ao ambiente escolar e interagisse com os grupos, receberia o "visto" do país. 
 

4. Após o evento, parte da avaliação foi realizada pelos próprios alunos, através de uma pesquisa online (Plataforma Google docs).
