Below you have a webpage I created to help teachers who want to become secondary education teachers. I give some guidelines on how to prepare the Teaching programme. I hope you find it useful.

In the last three academic years, we’ve had e-pal projects with students from the United States. We’ve sent e-mails, letters… and we’ve used blogs to exchange info about where we live and about what we do at school. It’s benn a rewarding experience and you can see some of the things we’ve done in the following blogs. Hope you enjoy them!

In October, the group of 2nd of ESO A is going to start a project with a school from Silesia, Poland, to share our customs and traditions. I bet we are going to learn a great deal and improve our English.

We’ll be using an online platform called ‘E-twinnning’, which is a webpage for the the community of schools in Europe:http://www.etwinning.net/es/pub/index.htm

It’s a great place to promote students’ creativity and create projects with schools from other countries.
