Throughout the second term the Department of English has been working on another project together with our American assistant Carly. The aim was to work on April Fool’s Day from a different perspective.
The students have provided a list of stereotypes they have about the US and Carly has done an incredible research project showing evidence for their being true, false or semi-true. In return, students also have had to explain to Carly if her stereotypes about Spanish culture are true, false or semi-true. For this part, we have had the enthusiastic and valuable participation of some students currently studying in Ohio, our student Lucía Ponz‘s classmates this year, who have sent us their ideas about Spain in a video.
Special thanks must be given to those American students in Ohio, to Lucía (our «intermediary») and to Carly, who have proved to be a great help to know the American culture closely. Here below you have a video with some of the activities done at school with the students:
2nd ESO students went on a guided tour in English to «La Aljafería» Palace last 29th March. They were in groups and had to complete several activities about «La Aljafería» and Harry Potter’s «Hogwarts». They had to combine their knowledge of Art and their knowledge of the English language in an intensive visit. You can click on the video below to see some photos of the visit:
Students of English at Élaios had taken part in a lot of activities along this term, such as the trips to Whitstable (UK), the visits to the cinema and the one-day trips to visit «La Aljafería» and the «Parque del Agua«.
Apart from those, English BRIT students had participated in the traditional Spelling Bee contests from 1st to 4th ESO, and a lot of English students have been awarded their diplomas of Oral Skills with their Chatterbox cards.
