Across the universe

The film shows a couple, Jude and Lucy, whose have different opinions. Behind a love story, we have a world full of war and violence. Jude is an artist and he isn’t so worried about the violence while Lucy is fighting against the Vietnam’s war because her brother was there. She spends most of her time in a political group which she believes is a peace group but Lucy realize that they are as violent as the other people. After their relationship end, they go on your lifes. By the end of the movie, Lucy and Jude decide fight together for the love.
With Beatle’s songs, they present a censure to nowadays society who forgets how to defend our ideals and only live a life imposed by the others.

Here, you can see a part of the film, with the music "All you need is love".

Teaching Methologies - My conceptions

Immersion programme and natural approach

Immersion programme is a form of bilingual education in which children who speak only one language enter a school where a second language is the medium of instruction for all pupils.
For example, there are schools in Canada for English-speaking children, where French is the language of instruction.
If these children are taught in French for the whole day it is called a total immersion programme, but if they are taught in French for only part of the day it is called a partial immersion programme.

Natural approach can be:
1 - A term form a number of language-teaching methods which were developed in the 19th century as a reaction to the grammar translation method. These methods emphasized:
• The use of the spoken language
• The use of objects and actions in teaching the meanings of words and structures.
• The need to make language teaching follow the natural principles of first language learning.
These methods lead to the direct method.

2 – A term for an approach proposed by Terrell, to develop teaching principles which:
• Emphasize natural communication rather than formal grammar study.
• Are tolerant of learners’ errors.
• Emphasize the informal acquisition of language rule.
