Teaching context

I'm doing my practicum at Instituto Maritimo in a 3ero medio class.
The students here are studying cooking, so the english here follows a communicative line. The teacher works with "ready to order" longman book, so all the contents are related to the special course that students have selected.
 There are like 36 students both men and women and their ages are between 16 and 17 years old. The students are very interested in learning english because they know that not learning it means not be able to apply for important jobs.

Talking about the sources that they had at school I have to mention that there's not so much use of the library, but I have to remark that each classroom has a data show so the teache ris able to use technology and platforms related to teaching. The bad thing is thta the internet connection is too slow, so the pages aren't alow to charge, it means that we are not able to use internet platforms to make the class more atractive to students.

In my opìnion the use of internet is not a good key to imprive classes., but if the teacher has a mobile connection like those that are like routers, could be usefull. We have used prezi in the classes and the students sseemed very enthusiastic because they don't know anything about prezi.
