ENGLISH AND CULTURE IN BACHILLERATO

In Coin, this subject in which our students try to develop their oral skills, we do a lot of activities. In January, we had a wonderful time watching all the videos about extreme sports. So in order to complete the second term, the teachers have made the students work really hard. These two months, February and March have supposed a lot of research, discussions, agreements, imagination, creativity...

As our fourth project ,we have been trying to learn a little bit about different countries related to English language and Culture in the world. We want to use a CLIL approach in our lessons and we believe that if our students research and create their own materials, they learn more and feel more motivated.

Our students have created Presentations together with documents. They have worked in groups and have given presentations, which have been evaluated by their peers. Apart from the advantages of working in groups, they have also  improved their oral skills. Each group worked with a different country and while they were listening and watching the presentations, they also had to fill in worksheets with the information they were learning. We believe this is a great way for them to listen to their partners and learn from them.

One of the projects we would like to share with you is about New Zealand. Click here to see the document. The presentation is this one here.
