Hi, I’m back again. This time we’re going to deal with a presentation on the underlying concepts of education systems by Ken Robinson. I’ve chosen this video not only because I’m fond of him and his work but I reckon that his thoughts and sense of humour can teach me and you a lesson.
The video takes around eleven minutes. Today I would like you to cope with the first 3 and a half minutes (until 3.35).In order to raise your capacity to catch the message I’ve created some warming up and after listening activities.
