A Thin Line Campaign (@a_thin_line)
MTV's A Thin
Line campaign is a digital safety education resource that was
developed to empower teenagers and young adults to identify, respond
to, and stop the spread of digital abuse in their lives and amongst
their peers. The campaign is built on the understanding that there's
a "thin line" between what may begin as a harmless joke and
something that could end up having a serious impact on them or
someone else.
A
Thin Line offers a series of fact sheets about sexting, digital
spying, and excessive text messaging. It gives advice on how to
recognize these behaviors and their dangers and how to protect
students' digital identity.

Fichas de expresión oral en inglés (A2 MCER)
Recientemente
presentamos la última publicación del CEFIRE de Elda en torno a la
evaluación y aprendizaje de lenguas. Una de sus secciones está
integrada por distintos modelos de fichas de expresión oral para la
enseñanza y aprendizaje de alemán, árabe, español, francés,
inglés, italiano, portugués, ruso, valenciano.
Estas
fichas se refieren al nivel A2 del MCER. Las presentamos tanto en
formato más adecuado para su impresión directa (PDF) como en
formato ODT en el caso de que queráis personalizarlas o editarlas a
vuestro gusto.
Así mismo, es posible seleccionar aquellas fichas
consistentes en monólogos, diálogos o conversaciones entre tres
personas. En cada uno de los casos, los temas abordados por ellas se
pueden encontrar al inicio del documento.
El
modelo original seguido se debe a la profesora de alemán de la
EOI de Alicante Isabel M. Orellana.

muestra del este trabajo, incluimos a continuación un enlace al
documento de diálogos para lengua inglesa:
