BEFORE

When the english was complusory in 3rd grade in 1996 Ceip Puig d’en Valls made a new ‘linguistic project’ and decided to introduce the English language teaching from the 6th E.I. (Kindergarten) to Primary 6th grade.

We started the SSEE project in 2008/09 with Eco arts and crafts in 1st grade.

In 2006/2008 we started with a Comenius Project, our third Comenius Project 2012/14 ‘Money Matters’.

2010/11 With the new school board team one of the objectives of the School board project was extend the English language in the school and the importance of the English language in the school.

Organization

Weekly coordination with the mentor (area) teacher and with the English language teacher. Every week we make 1st cycle and 2nd and 3rd cycle meetings. ‘Plurilingüe teachers’ We do programming, we talk about specific contents and expressions to use in the class as well as methodological strategies or activities to do. A monthly meeting is needed with all teachers involved in the English language learning in the school. (from 8.00 to 9.00h)

Methodology

-Starting from the previous experience of the students. Using words or topics that they already know about. -Trying to attend to the different learning styles so that they understand the context and the concepts. -Using materials adapted to their level. -Using different strategies; Repeat, simplify, or giving examples to them… -Visual learning using gestures, using images, graphics or organization of ideas, diagrams, timelines, etc. -Active learning, students will make experiments or manipulative activities.

Resources

Materials prepared by Teachers, many internet resources. Workbooks from different editorials. Listenings, videos,… During these years we're making a big library with many resources. Every year we try to buy more reading collections related to the topics we are working with.

Planning a class session

1. Activity based on previous knowledge of the students to introduce the topic or content. (Watching a video, short article, etc. )

2. Using visual or audiovisual support to introduce the topic and to learn the vocabulary. (Posters, flashcards, pictures, realia…)

3. Written part, with worksheets, diagrams, mind maps, etc.. To review the vocabulary or have it physically to study at home or just to collect information about the topic. (no books)

4. Making experiments to understand the content, and using realia makes our lessons more significant.

5. Based on a final production, oral, written or manipulative. 6. Assessment during the activity with worksheets, oral questions, yes/no questions,

filling the gaps, completing mind maps, etc. Oral weekly record.
