A new eTwinning project: Enlivening our libraries

We have started a new project on eTwinning, its name "Enlivening our libraries". It is the continuation of our Comenius project that we have carried out over two years, "Reading for travelling through the paths of life", which was intended to encourage reading and make our library a place of meeting with activities which motivate our students to read. Our Department has special interest in participating in this project because it involves using English as a vehicle for communication among the different countries and because we are convinced of the importance of reading to develop not only the language but the knowledge of the different cultures involved. We hope that you, our students, will be interested in this project and participate in the activities that we will be proposing.

10 Heart Idioms

10 Heart Idioms explained to English as a Second Language.

English idioms or idiomatic expressions come in plenty in the English language.

Welcome again

Here we are one more time. This year we have some novelties: first of all we are in the Bilingüal Programme and this is a big challenge, on the other hand we are involved in two Comenius projects. One is about Solidarity and is called "Beleiving in Humanity" and the other is about the importance of harbour cities and their social, economic and cultural influence. That means we are going to be very busy.
Regarding the implementation of our bilingual section we have created a page on the website of our department for this section to meet the needs of the programme and, of course, to help our 1ºESO students who begin this experience. That is why I have dedicated a page within the previous one. We invite you to visit it and begin your journey now.
