Previous work
I have been working in the school Jaume Ferran i Clua for the last 10 years as an English Teacher. We have been carrying out different innovative projects. In 2002, we started an Orator Project in Cicle Inicial to introduce English. We made workshops, six different choices for the children: library, games, theatre, entertainments, computers, speaking. They do two of those every week. I considered workshops part of the process of learning and children take part in groups once a week. Part of our Orator Project is the English bag. We have engaged an English Bag for year 1, 2, 3 and 4. We are now in the 4th year and still using and improving it.

share knowledge and work
together. |
