FL WORKSHOP AT INSNO



Let us introduce to you a new experience we have just started. 

A workshop devoted to the creation of useful resources for the foreign language class, in English, French and German. 
Some of the teachers in our department plus teachers at other schools have been working together since October'18.
This is a joint effort by this group of teachers aimed at creating, improving, up-dating and sharing tasks to promote communication at all levels in and out the language class taking advantage of the possibilities ICT offers us all.






As you can imagine this is an activity in progress as we plan to keep on working for some years on it.
The project involves the use of many different new tools and an active role of our students.
You can follow the development of the tasks, their assessment and the final products and results of the experience at:



We plan to create activities to promote the reading and listening comprehensions and the oral and written productions in connection to the readers we are working on at each level, the oral tasks we regularly produce during the school year and many other little projects connected to cultural issues, our school magazine in English and celebrations and festivities.

This first year of the experience we are producing materials for 1st, 2nd and 3rd years ESO. We intend to cover the 6 years of ESO and Batxillerat in future editions of the workshop.


It will also involve so many different topics that many of the tasks include CLIL contents.

To make this competition more exciting, there is a set of questions on each video for the groups to answer. 
So, choose a spokesperson and listen carefully to those questions. 

In turns each group will answer ONE question at a time, BUT if they do not know the answer, the other groups have the opportunity to do so. 
The fastest spokesperson gets the opportunity.

Each correct answer gives the group ONE GOLDEN COIN.
Each "rebound" answer gets them ONE SILVER COIN.

And, of course, each team will get a little SWEET token of recognition for your participation.
