Curso Provincial: FUN & SUCCESS

"Jornadas de Encuentro para

Profesorado de Inglés de todos los Niveles"

 

Justification

 

Foreign language teachers do a great number of activities in the classroom because languages are living entities and both teachers and learners are obliged to use them. On the other hand, new approaches and tools appear in the market and teachers are willing to try them and integrate them in their teaching practice.

In these JORNADAS  we will analyse and share different approaches to teaching foreign languages and how to implement them in our classrooms. Fun and success are guaranteed.

 

Aims

 

Ø       To review our teaching reality.

Ø       To provide teachers with theatre and other techniques applicable to foreign language teaching.

Ø       To reflect on the contribution of CLIL to the success of foreign language acquisition.
