Demo Weekdays

The Demo Weekdays page is a spin-off of one of the activities we do at #MATLUPB: The Demo Thursdays, or Demo Fridays since the second semester of 2018. For the Demo classes, I do a live demonstration of a class activity or technique that my students can use in their classes. This way, the #MATLUPB course blends readings and discussions about language teaching approaches and methods, lesson planning, communicative competence, and so on with very practical and down-to-earth activities that students can add to their budding repertoire. So far, Demo Thursday/Friday has been one of the most successful features of the course, as evidenced by students' blog posts on the matter (Click here, here, here, here, and here for some Demo Thursday testimonials) 
(Cick here, here, here, and here for some Demo Friday testimonials)

This page will share some of the resources I have pooled for these sessions over the years... now, for the live demonstration, you should definitely come to my class and check them out!
