Trilingualism Project: Drama Workshop

IES Julio Caro Baroja is a reference public high school always involved in new projects. Their last one is called: Trilingualism Project. To do so, an enthusiastic staff and team of teachers are working hard by  using experience, new methodologies and the new technologies. Besides the normal classes supported by Eskola 2.0 Project, all the languages of the project  -Spanish, Basque and English- respond to a special treatment to improve their learning. The English Department thought that Drama could be a good way of helping our students of 1º ESO to break some barriers that very often restrain students from speaking a second language.
In the following power point we show the way we work in the teaching periods. Most of the pictures were taken by the students during the Drama classes.

Thew following information was given as one of the lectures of the new school projects at Getxolinguae 12 Conference in May.

Drama Workshop students evaluate their experience.

The students of ESO 1 who have taken part in Drama Workshop give their opinions at the end of the school year.

Student Exchange to Scituate (Boston)

As everybody knows, every two years IES Julio Caro Baroja students fly to Scituate (Boston) on the Student Exchange.
Our next Exchange will start on September 1st and kids will enjoy their American experience for a fortnight. They will be living with American families, attend to some high school classes, visit some emblematic places (New York, Boston, Harvard, Plymouth, Salem...) and improve both English and their way of facing life.

In the picture we can see most of the participants just getting things ready  to "cross the Athlantic".

Portfolio Presentations

At the end of the school year, our students of ESO-1 have prepared the project 'My Portfolio', in which they have shown what they have learnt since September.
They have written a document in Google docs and prepared a Power Point Presentation. Using the PPT, they have given an oral presentation about themselves.

The presentations have been really good. They have proved that they can talk about themselves and things in their normal lives quite fluently and they can also use the new technologies.

Betting our bottom euro on Drama Workshop & Trilingualism

Our Trilingualism Project is on. Sudents of Drama Workshop of 1º ESO have done it great. It's been a special school year for them in many aspects. As their 'drama anthem' says 'when learning is a pleasure, school, teachers and students are great'.  Shortly, a variety of videos will appear in our blog. To begin with, here is their presentation on their first day last September.

Funny School Times-2 at IES Mungia

Yes, they are waiting at the bus stop, not for the bus but for the coach that will take them to perform Funny School Times - 2 at IES Mungia.

  Once there, they were warmly welcome by teachers and students of ESO-1 belonging to the Trilingual Project. Our Drama actors are gaining experience in the art of performing and little by little become the king of the stage.

They convinced their audience, who gave them a clap on the back. After the performance they met new friends and swapped stories and... their 'Tuenti'.

Multilateral Encounters: Metz
