To conclude our project EVERYDAY SITUATIONS, all the participants involved in it are asked to complete the following questionnaire in order to assess the achievement of learning a foreign language through a great variety of activities and teachers' and students' satisfaction.
To
finish our project, the Irish and Spanish teams have organized an activity
together. As we were also involved in an eTwinning project together last school
year, we have decided to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day at Cuatro Caminos High
School. The Spanish team got some letters and St Patrick’s cards from Ireland
in March.
Then
in April the Irish students recorded a video to show the Spanish team how they
celebrate that special day in Ireland.
After
the information, the Spanish team organized a potluck at lunchtime on May 11.
Two
volunteers under the program of the European Voluntary Service, Willem Van
Schil from Belgium and Vanessa Lemesre from France, were invited to share the
lunch with us. They gave an introduction about this celebration to the students
in English and after that we enjoyed some typical Spanish food, cupcakes, cakes
and so on.
To see how the Spanish team celebrated that day
at school, please click on the video below.
Students chose four different everyday situations to be recorded. After writing the dialogues in English, Spanish, French, German and Esperanto, the audios were recorded by native students and teachers from the different eTwinning teams, except for German. As it was difficult to find native German speakers, some students, with the help of the ICT teacher, used computer applications to get the recordings in German.
By means of listen and repeat exercises, students were able to practise the four everyday situations before recording the videos.
Some teams have prepared some videos about their towns:
The Spanish team was asked to translate the Don Benito Travel Guide into English by the Tourist Information office and the result was this leaflet on line and the printed version below:
Another activity we have done in order to get to know each other better is to exchange postcards and tourist brochures of our towns via regular mail. All of them are shown on our big eTwinning wall poster.
