My favourite quote:

"Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world".

Brenda Peterson, American writer.

About me:

My name is Rosa Saló and I've been an English teacher in Catalan public secondary schools for more than 33 years.

I'm interested in ESL teaching, e-learning, m-learning, cooperative working, PBL, ... 

and ICT in general.

I consider myself very fortunate as I like teaching very much!!!!!

The funniest and weirdest excuse any student could use  

"My dog ate my homework"

My dog ate my homework.

It's gonna be late.

I guess that the teacher

will just have to wait.

My dog ate my homework.

He swallowed it whole.

I shouldn't have mixed it

with food in his bowl.


Part of the poem My dog ate my homework by Kenn Nesbitt


I'm also a big fan of tongue twisters:

Try to promounce that:
