Aliens - The truth is out there...

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI7Pb_VVqFo

Commercial divers have stumbled upon an incredible find. A U.F.O!

A group of divers in the Baltic Sea were making their final run to the bottom of the ocean with a ‘sonar fish’ - a sensor when it suddenly showed what looked like the shape of a U.F.O.

The image was about 60 meters across, which is roughly the size of a Jumbo jet and apparently not alone down there. There was a similar one but smaller.

The ocean explorer team said that the other smaller disc shaped object had a rigid tail and drag marks of more than 400 metres long. What could this be? Did it Crash Land?

Their size and distinctive shape are generating some peculiar theories – could it be the Star Wars spaceship or an old relic similar to that of the UK’s Stonehenge?

Andreas Olsson, Head of Archaeology at Sweden’s Maritime Museum said that this type of imaging is called - site scan sonar - but does not always show what is true because of varying temperatures and wave conditions can show defects in the image. Therefore no one can really tell if it's a U.F.O!

Is this the real thing?

DEBATE



  • Do U.F.O's exist?

  • Have you seen one?

  • Is there a worldwide government 'cover-up' ?

With another academic year coming to a close, the teachers of Oxbridge Barcelona began to reflect on the year behind them and plan the ESL courses for the 2016-2017 academic year. We began by brainstorming on the activities and teaching methods that were well received by the students, but more importantly, helped students advance their Englis...

Grading activities. Creating unified criteria.
by Rob Wylie
In all of our classes we use activities which are written by us, the teachers, but how can we ensure that the activities work during a class? Here at Oxbridge we have adopted a five-star rating system for grading activities to ensure that we are able to evaluate all activities not onl...

Can a non-native teach English? No way!
by Marjan Van Rij
“Where are you from?” is usually one of the first questions I get when I meet students for the first time. I am from the Netherlands (which isn't Holland by the way but that’s a different story). “But English is not the official language of the Netherlands, right?” Yes, that's right. Our official language ...

English prepositions are easy with the in-on-at pyramid
by Marjan Van Rij
Are your students struggling to memorize the prepositions? Moreover isn’t it a bit confusing to explain all different examples? Why are my hands on the table, am I in the building and at the desk? Don’t worry. In, on and at is often confused among Spanish ESL students. Probably because these three prepositions can be translated to one Spanish...

Are you capable of learning English?
by Marjan Van Rij
One of my students told me after his two-hour class by videoconference that he felt very comfortable because he was able to follow most of it. Still he didn’t feel comfortable enough to speak at any time. He is at a beginner’s level but far from a beginner. I am talking about a middle-aged man who has been studying English almost his entire l...

Why don’t we translate while we teach English?
by Marjan Van Rij
“... and all other things.” I saw the look in his eyes: panic. “Things? What is things?” Oops, I didn’t know this was a new word. Mentally slapping myself in the face for my own stupidity, I started explaining the word “thing”. I pointed at different objects in the room while using the word “thing” and referred to myself ...

How to use cognates for beginners
by Max Zaman
When students make the decision to step into the classroom to learn English, they often nervous and feel intimidated. For them it is as if they are entering a new world where nothing looks familiar. Thus they can become withdrawn and shy. The situation can be difficult for the TEFL teacher as well as they struggle to connect with the students...

The importance of teaching practice in TEFL training
by Rafael Olivares
Teaching English is a very complex process that involves knowledge about linguistics as well as about educational psychology. However, like everything else in life, there is the theory and then the reality. There is a Chinese proverb that says: I hear and I forget... I see and I remember... I do and I understand. This holds so very true...

The power of dissatisfaction
by Ana Garza
Dissatisfaction tends to be associated with something negative, but it's actually quite powerful when one uses it wisely. One of the problems it brings is that its consequence tends to be criticising –and it ends up there. But the other day I read something that said that people who were satisfied with their ...
