It is a fact that we live in a multicultural society where managing different languages and skills is a must. That is why INS El Cairat wants to give students the necessary tools to be competent in this society.
During school year 2015-16 our school was involved in the GEP project (Grup Experimental Plurilingüe) fostered by the Generalitat de Catalunya. The aim of the project was to teach other subjects in foreign languages (mainly English) in order to improve the English level of the students. These subjects were “Computer Science” and “Let’s Speak Music”.
We continued with such an appealing project during 2016-17 and we increased the number of students who took part in the project with subjects such as Computer Science, Social Sciences and two optional subjects in English among other small projects within the regular classes.
And during this course (2017-18) the school continues offering a range of activities within the classes using English as a means of communication in order to prepare our students for the future. That is why this is the fourth year we offer extracurricular lessons to prepare our students for different official exams with an international recognition such as the Cambridge First Certificate in English (we are a Cambridge Preparation Centre) or DELF for French.
If you want to know more about this project, have a look at some of our everyday activities.
Entre les diferents activitats que es treballen des de l’institut per potenciar les llengües, destaquem:
Matèries optatives de francès i alemany a l’ESO.
Preparació per les proves oficials FIRST i DELF a 4tESO.
Dins el projecte GEP, els alumnes de 1rD van participar en una activitat de socials en anglès, van veure un vídeo sobre el Sistema Solar i en grups col·laboratius van respondre un qüestionari i van jugar a relacionar la imatge del planeta amb el seu nom i la informació que sortia en el vídeo sobre
