The school’s
Bilingual Department has designed some bilingual door labels in order to provide
the students with a bilingual educational environment that might be able to
help them improve their level of English. This measure has been taken to foster
the development of the ability to communicate properly in orally and written
form within the classroom context. These labels will be put up very soon! You
can be the first person to check them out here though.

LET'S GO TO THE THEATRE!
Learning
English through movies and plays is one of the best ways of improving the
listening comprehension skill and hence, the related speaking skill. Students
are able to learn words and grammatical structures in realistic context and
later recognise these words in conversations and use them in real life
situations without even realizing it.
For these
reasons, both the students from the bilingual groups and also the rest of them
went to the theatre to watch a play in different days. Groups 1ºA, 1ºC, 1ºD,
2ºA, 2ºC and 2ºD went there to watch a modern play titled London, here I come! in
English and Spanish. CLIL groups 1ºB, 2ºB and 3ºB watched a theatrical version
of Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ in English. We prepared it in
class in advanced by showing them a PPT presentation about the author’s
background, about the main points of the plot and characters. After watching it
the students did an oral quiz with questions about the play in class. They
really enjoyed it!
ST. VALENTINE'S DAY AT THE SCHOOL
On the occasion
of Saint Valentine’s Day celebration, the students were able to visit an
exhibition (in the hall) which helped them look beyond the common understanding
society has on this day. What were they able to learn? Their teacher explained
the historical origins of this festivity by drawing on Valntinus story which
began in the third century. This activity turned out into an excellent way for
the students to broaden and deepen their knowledge on this festivity. They completed
a worksheet in which they had to answer some specific questions and we
corrected them in class. 1st year B students brought some
Valentine’s Day greeting cards that they gave to their classmates and they read
them aloud in class. What follows gives an illustration of these activities.
Let’s have fun learning about it!
