Our Language Assistant

This is Caitlyn, our Language Assistant this year.

She is American and she comes from Massachussets. She is a very friendly and caring person, and she adapted very well to our school and our costumes from the beginning.

Her main function as a Language Assistant is to encourage students to use the English language, improve students' pronunciation and let them know about American culture and history.

She is also involved in conversation lessons in the evenings in our school.

Both, students and teachers adore her.

Welcome to our first Bilingual School Year

     Comenzamos este nuevo curso con mucha ilusión ya que recibimos a nuestra primera sección bilingüe, un grupo de treinta estudiantes que recibirán enseñanza bilingüe en las asignaturas de música, matemáticas, ciencias sociales y naturales, además de contar con tres horas semanales de segundo idioma.

     Y así como el año pasado nuestra auxiliar de conversación, Lery, colaboró con nosotros impartiendo clases de conversación no sólo por las mañanas, sino también en clases extraescolares, y elaborando material para nuestro proyecto, este año contaremos con la ayuda de Caitlyn Kaine, una chica americana que se incorporará al centro a principios de octubre.

    Welcome to a thrilling school year!

Bilingual Education in La Rambla

Recently we have had a meeting with the parents of our future students coming from the two primary schools in La Rambla, Alfar and Cruz Verde. As in previous years, we have informed about the characteristics and activities of our school. However, this year we have focused on our Bilingual Project since next year we are receiving our first bilingual section and we want parents to be well informed of what bilingual education is.
Here is the presentation for those who couldn't attend the meeting or who want to see it in more detail.
If you have any doubt, don't hesitate to contact us.

English Theatre in our School

We are pleased to announce our students' next performance in English, that will be on May, 29th.
This year we have chosen another play by Shakespeare, As you like it. Most of the play takes place in the Forest of Arden, where the heroine, Rosalind, escapes together with her cousin Celia and Touchstone, a jester, to find safety and, eventually love.
We hope you enjoy the play.

Formación en Centros

Hacia una educación bilingüe: elaboración del currículum integrado de lenguas.

On January 14th, 15th and 22nd we have attended the bilingual training sessions. The first two sessions focused on the elaboration of the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Curriculum). Victor Pavón Vázquez, a Professor at the University of Córdoba and a member of the comission that has recently elaborated the Integrated Curriculum of Languages, gave us very useful ideas and contributions for our project.

And as the bilingual project is closely related to the ICT (Information and Comunication Technologies), our ICT coordinator, Manuel Ángel Jiménez has taught us how to make the most of computers and the Internet for our bilingual lessons.

I hope you have enjoyed the training. Now... it's our turn, so shoulders to the wheel!
