PROJECT: STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THE FAILURE IN THE ENGLISH SUBJETC AND IMPROVE ITS LEARNING. Nowadays, society is going through a series of changes which require a continuous adaptation of all its sectors. One of the most important is education, since depending on its quality, youths will or not be able to face this challenge. For that reason, the Secondary School Las Norias is going to carry out a proyect through the European Programme Erasmus+, KA1. The participants will be English teachers and the number of them is one. The proyect will last one year and it is a short activity. The students from our school are from a medium-low socio-economic background. About 20% of them do not get the Certificate in Compulsory Secondary Education because they leave school younger or because they do not achieve the objectives of education. One of the most difficult subjects for them is English. Therefore, and bearing in mind the European objectives in education 2020, our school is going to try to improve its quality (specifically of the English subject), solving our following needs: - To reduce school failure and increase the number of students who get the Certificate in Compulsory Education. - To equal youths who come from a low socioeconomic background by means of their inclusivity. - To improve the training process of the teachers. - To improve our students' English competence so that they will be able to face the Multilingual Project, the "Êxit Project" and the "Contratos Programa" Project of the centre. - To appreciate the knowledge of foreing languages for their own benefit (students' ones) and society. - To provide students with the right education so that they will be able to face the labour market or post-compulsory studies. - To provide the centre a European dimension . The participants of the project will have to acquire some competences to achieve those objectives. These competences will be achieved through the following activities: 1. Training activities: They are mainly activities of observation and thinking: English Department meetings to write down real methodological problems appeared in class, recommended reading of books related to methodology, culture and linguistics to be able to follow the training. Finally, the search of a course according to their needs. 2. Attendance at a course that covers their needs (knowledge of new methodological trends which give priority to the communicative approach, integrating the four skills and paying attention to different rhythms and learning styles, solution to real problems, multicultural and cross-curricular activities, practice of the English language, use of technology in the language teaching, introduction to the culture by means of lectures or experiences and finally contact with other European teachers to exchange ideas and experiences suitable for this proyect and future ones. 3. Activities after the course: the teaching of the new contents in the classroom and their dissemination in the educative centre. They will be part of the Teacher Training Project of the centre. The methodology will be communicative, to develop and improve our students' competence (linguistic, discoursive, strategic and sociocultural) through the four skills and it will pay attention to our students' diversity. Therefore, the immediate results will be our teachers' acquisition and updating of new methodological trends, new motivating activities which integrate sociocultural aspects and the use of technologies. All this will have an impact on our school (students and teachers) as well as the local primary school (because of the Proyect "From Primary to Secondary") and other national and international schools, thanks to the Internet and eTwinning: forums, etc. Finally, the long term benefits will be the answer to the needs of our project: - to reduce school failure and increase the number of students who get the certificate thanks to their socio-linguistic improvement -to foster quality and equality in education by updating the teaching staff -to acquire a European dimension in the centre.
