Mejora de la competencia lingüística en inglés, mediante la aplicación del CLIL en las aulas de primaria.
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Cristo de la Paz is a Primary and Pre- primary School very interested in improving the speaking and communicative skills of its students in the English Language. It belongs to the "Red de Centros Plurilingües de la Comunidad Valenciana" and for the very first time during this year is starting to teach in English, to the students belonging to the first cycle of Primary, Arts & Crafts, a non linguistic subject. Next year, the students of The second cycle will start to receive Arts & Crafts in English as well. In order to achieve this goal, all the teacher's in the school are participating in a formative process in English by a native teacher belonging to the Language School of Alicante. But our Methodological needs are much greater and we want to send one of our teachers specialised in teaching English to Exeter, England, in a Mobility Project for school Education Staff. Our teacher will go to Exeter during the first fortnight of August to study the course entitled: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) – Practical Ideas for the Primary Classroom. In order to assure the best benefices from the formative activity , the teacher selected must have a at least an Advanced level of English B2 (CEFR), and an Intermediate level B1(CEFR) in another European language. This interactive, experiential course has been specifically designed for primary teachers who teach their subject in the medium of English. It will enable the teacher to improve his or her communicative skills, specially in classroom language, to learn new methodologies related to the teaching of foreign languages, to met the ClIL Methodology and to reinforce his or her knowledge in phonetics. Moreover, through meeting colleagues from other countries, these courses provide the teacher with the opportunity to initiate future school partnerships. On coming back, the teacher will start to use in class all the knowledge acquired during his or her formative process. All the students' works will be shown in the School Web page, in the personal teacher's Blog and in a very visible place at the School's ground floor. In the uploading process of the students' works, the teacher will make use of the platforms YouTube and SlideShare. In October 2014 some workshops will be held in our school. During this workshops, the teacher will show the rest of the teachers in the school specialiced in the teaching of English, all the new techniques and knowledge acquired during his or her formative experience. These teachers will apply in class all the new knowledge and all the school students will benefice of the Mobility Experience. To evaluate the outcomes of the project, we will make comparative studies of the students' academic results in foreign language, with those achieved by students of the same level in different school years. We will compare as well the number of visits received in the teacher's Blog, YouTube and SlideShare during the school year 2014-2015, with those of the 2013-2014. In November, the school will start looking for partners for two E-twinning projects: one related with Arts & Crafts, and the other with the Physical Education. The partners could be teachers met on Exeter, or new teachers met through the E-twinning Platform. We will develop both projects around all the school year. We will finish all the activities in June 2015, trying to forge the basis for future partnerships. With this project we intend to improve our students' oral skills. We want to increase their eagerness for the study of foreign languages. We want to improve their accademic results. And finally through getting in contact with the works of other european students we want to make them aware of their European identity. We want to make our Centre a point of reference in the teaching of languages, and we think that with the effort and enthusiasm of all our teachers we can get it.
