Departament d'Idiomes<\/span><\/h1>\r\n \r\n\r\nIn Enric Borr\u00e0s Secondary School, teaching the English language is not only an academic priority but also a pleasure. All the English Department staff contributes to boost the knowledge of this foreign language following different methodologies and applying the compulsory curriculum on key competences <\/span>(compet\u00e8ncies b\u00e0siques)<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"The materials used for ESO are Workbooks which follow the curriculum on key competences and in Batxillerat, the corresponding coursebooks. Supplementary photocopies are also passed to reinforce and broaden the students\u2019 different skills. This traditional <\/span>methodology<\/b> is complemented with more innovative ones, such as Gamification, Content-based, Task-based, and Participatory Approaches, Communicative Language Teaching,\u00a0 Learning Strategy Training, Cooperative Learning, and Multiple Intelligences. Besides, ICT tools are implemented on a daily basis. Examples of these are Classroom, Google Drive,\u00a0 Google Forms, Youtube videos, infographic makers, Instagram, Tik Tok, Quizlet, Socrative, Mindmeister, Kahoot, and so on and so forth.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nExtensive and Intensive <\/span>Reading<\/b> are fundamentally the reading skills practised in our school. For us, the benefits of reading are obviously multiple, and a way to stimulate and encourage our students is to provide them with appealing materials and activities: graded readers, \u201creal books\u201d, news, comics, and so on and so forth. <\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nHowever, it must be taken into account that all the skills, not only reading, but<\/span> speaking<\/b>, <\/span>listening,<\/b> and <\/span>writing<\/b> need to be implemented in a synergistic way to produce enhanced results.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe English Department actively participates in the different workshops and activities that are organised by the School\u2019s <\/span>Festivals<\/b> Commission along the course, which are: Castaween, Christmas, Carnival, the International Women\u2019s Day and Saint George\u2019s Day. \"\"<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe <\/span>English Day<\/b> is an event which the English Department fully organises with the valuable support of those teachers who have at least a B1 English level on a practical basis. \"\"The different workshops that are designed in this wonderful celebration (to be planned regarding the School Calendar) are: Irish Dance, Harry Potter Escape Room, Harry Potter magic wand making, The cricket games, Rugby, Pancake Making, Karaoke, Films in the original version, St Patrick\u2019s Scrapbook, London Gymkhana, Party and Co, Board games and Funny Culture Quizzes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"\"<\/span>\r\n\r\nTo learn a foreign language it is absolutely necessary to implement practical activities, for this reason, English is also a learning tool when applying <\/span>Content and Language Integrated Learning<\/b> in these subjects: Technology, Biology, and Physics, Experimental Sciences, History, Social Sciences, Economy and Entrepreneurship.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe participation in <\/span>Erasmus +<\/b> projects is an objective to be achieved in the 2020-22 courses. A lot of effort has been made to achieve this goal by designing a school project, MULTICULTURALISM AND INCLUSIVENESS (with Portugal, Romania, and Turkey as collaborators), and participating in other school projects: <\/span>THE VOICES OF TEENAGERS (Turkey), EUROPEAN STUDENTS-RESPONSIBLE, MOTIVATED, EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT AND USEFUL (Romania), SMALL STEPS - BIG CHANGES (Poland) and TASTES ACROSS LIFE (Turkey). Furthermore, an <\/span>eTwinning<\/b> project has been created partly to become the virtual tool for the Erasmus+ program, due to the fact that both physical and virtual mobilities are paramount for a more pragmatic and efficient scope in the language learning process.\"\"<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLast but not least, we bear in mind our students\u2019 necessities. That is why <\/span>reinforcement<\/b> of the different language skills and <\/span>B1+B2 preparatory classes<\/b> are carried out in extracurricular classes. To select those students who need review and reinforcement, the English Department staff is coordinated to take into account the student\u2019s several characteristics: behaviour, motivation, commitment and a real need to improve the language skills. To select B1\/B2 students, in turn, an exam is passed to test the students\u2019 level. Those who are chosen are also registered for the EOI exam straight in our school.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>","link":"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/ies-enric-borras\/categoria\/departaments\/idiomes\/","name":"Idiomes","slug":"idiomes","taxonomy":"category","parent":85,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/ies-enric-borras\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/91","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/ies-enric-borras\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/ies-enric-borras\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/ies-enric-borras\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/85"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/agora.xtec.cat\/ies-enric-borras\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=91"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
