: "PENFRIENDS FOR KEEPING UP SMILING- SPANISH -ENGLISH"
|
Hello teachers !Let me start saying that this year is absolutely a challenge for us to keep motivation and learning up. My name is Isabel and I am a Foreign Language teacher in a primary school in Valsaín, Segovia ,Spain. The school website is ceiplapradera (search) The school is rural but innovative and it has been awarded with many national prizes. you can type : rtve /maneras-educar-centro-escolar-pradera-valsain-segovia and you may find a video in the national tv. I cannot type the whole link here.
The Foreign Language area needs however a push and since I am a French and English teacher,I have thought that the fact of having penfriends could be a good start. In the past it worked for me with an exchange of letters, postcards, brochures and my students improved their level step by step. I teach all classes.Infant Education ( I have three classes -8 students of three years old, 8 students of 4 years old and 10 students of 5 years old ) and Primary Education (primary 1- 14 students of 6 years old) ( primary 2 -14 students of 7 years old),primary 3 - 10 students of 8 years old), primary 4 -10 students of 9 years old) primary 5 -8 students of 10 years old and primary 6-9 students of 11-12 years old). about 90 students all together.... You may only have one class but I dont mind having different countries as it could be more enriching for us I am looking especially for countries where English is official language but I am open to other possibilities. For example , one year, my students wrote in Spanish, last year only in English. Even long ago, we exchanged cultural facts and different lifestyles with a French speaking country. I think this year it is super important to create an atmosphere of hope across boundaries because we are all suffering the covid19 and we are in the same team as students, teachers and families.It could be a way of teaching languages IN USE. Contact me as soon as possible please by email. GOOD START FOR EVERYONE.... |
