Welcome Ameen!
This year we have a new assistant at our School, his name is Ameen and we feel very lucky to have him in our classes. This is his message to the EP Javeriana:
"Hi everyone! My name is Ameen and I am an English teacher from Miami, Florida. This is my second year living in Madrid and I absolutely love it here. I like cooking, reading, and watching old movies. When I teach, I like to give students the chance to speak as much as possible. I hope the activities that I bring to your class are interesting and relatable, and I am very open to your feedback. I want students to feel comfortable talking to me about anything (in English of course), because I think personal, informal conversations are the best way to practice. These conversations also help me get to know you, so I can tailor my teaching to your interests and needs."

Certify your English level: take a Cambridge exam
(The EP Javeriana is an Exam Preparation Centre and therefore we are aloud to use this image)
The first step would be checking your English level?
If you are one of our students, once you check your English level, fill in this form with your result. You need to have your javerianaselearning account open.
Take an exam of your level and see the result you get. You can find some exams on the Cambridge ESOL Website selecting your test on the "exams and tests section". Are you ready to take it or do you need to work on it a little bit more? Ask your teacher for some advice!!!
Good luck! And let us know if you are ready…

Enjoy English this summer!
Summer is a perfect time to enjoy English. Are you travelling abroad? That's great!!! Are you staying in Spain? You can still enjoy English! How? Just think of your favourite things to do and plan to do them in English.
In the EP Javeriana we give you some ideas:
1. Do you like reading? Read in English!!! Here is a website recommended by @MAsuncinEsteso where you can download books according to your English level and you can even download the audiobook.
2. Do you like watching films/TV series? Why don't you try watching them in English? You can start watching 10 minutes and then increase the time the following days. If it's too difficult for you, try with English subtitles. Which one is your favourite show? How I met your mother? Sherlock?
Game of Thrones?...
3. Do you prefer sports? Here are some apps you can use to learn English though sports
4. Do you enjoy the news? The BBC has different applications for learning English based on the news. Download their free apps and select the subjects you are interested in. If you do not have too much time we recommend the 6 minute English. Take a look at it!!

Business is fun: Shopping in Madrid
In the EP Javeriana, Business is fun: 5 teams visited
different Shopping areas in Madrid and took pictures of the signs they could
find in English. The tweeted the information and then analysed the language
used. They presented their results to the class. This is Group’s 3
presentation. They visited Serrano and this is what Mario Marín writes about
his experience working on the project:
“With the work "Shopping in Madrid" we've
learnt that it's very important to have commercials and announcements in
English so they can attract and seek the attention of the clients, visitors,
tourists, or people who come from abroad. For example the announcement of new
season clothes, or a new 50% off on sales... it was a very good experience
working on this and surely I'd repeat it!!!”
Business is fun: Online Shop
In the EP Javeriana, Business is fun and we work on different projects during
the School year. Online Shop is one of the favourite ones. The different teams launch
a new business by developing an online shop. To sell globally, the website
needs to be in English, of course!
The group with
David Crespo, Nayelly Lara, Leila Maujo and Miguel del Villar launched
Wine&Box. This is what David Crespo writes about their project:
"We think that
wine is one of the most famous drinks of our country, and we think on that
about how we can sell this product in an original package, so in our website
you can choose a popular wine, a different type of box, and you can personalize
the box and the stickers as you like. I mean, if it's Saint Valentine's Day, you
can create your own box personalised or choose a special creation, you can give
as a present.
We offer you
three different types of wine: red wine, pink wine and white wine. In these
three types of wine, you can choose your perfect election with three different
prices. High Price, Medium Price and cheap. We adapt to our customers.
In this project,
we needed to be a group more than ever in the course, because we wanted a very
great work: we needed a great website, but we also needed a great pitch for
sell our product on the presentation for the class, and personally, I really
enjoy it.
What did we
learn?
In this project,
we learnt a lot about how difficult is to have a novel idea and put it into
operation. First we were thinking about the idea, after that we split for some
to make the design of the web in an attractive way, we had to look for various
types of wines and boxes, perform a return policy and even a list of frequently
asked questions. Finally, we created a slogan to present the brand and look for
an attractive way to present our website.
