Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Project context: Training needs at “Maria Zambrano"" school come from the implementation of bilingual English-language section. But learning a language and getting the level B2 of the Common European framework is not enough. The updating needs about methodological and educational issues are equally important and should be on balance with the language competence level. Therefore, teachers of non-language subjects at ""Maria Zambrano"" have coordinated the development of this training project hoping to achieve the following objectives: 1 -. Improving English language competence related to the specificity lexical of any subject. 2 - Learning how to program our subjects from the new perspective created by the bilingual project, specifying the level of importance of content and language skills on it. 3 - Getting specific methodological strategies to teach a non-language subject such as CLIL applications. 4 - Acquiring as skill to teach in English as in Spanish language. 5- Incorporating new and much more motivating contents from partner institutions and specific training centers. The contestants to the training teachers project come from different teaching departments: chemistry 1 Physical Education 2, Spanish language 1, Drawing 1, classical Culture 1, and Physics 1. Altogether are 6 teachers, all them are taking part or plan to participate in the future in the bilingual section. All they have a degree level in different subjects and have got a English language level B1en and B2 according to the Common European Framework for Language There are two types of activities to perform: - Training courses in different countries: Finland, where attend both of the physical education teachers to participate in the international conference ""PESEMINAR"". UK where travel, three teachers (Spanish language, art and Chemistry) for specific applications and training in CLIL methodology. Greece where the teacher of Classical Culture travel. - Job shadowing in Italy, where take part a teacher of physical education, observing and teaching, at ""Raetia"" high school from Ortisei, its physical fitness class lessons methodology. The methodology approaches during the training period will aim to integrate learning in both contexts: contents of subjects and language skills (CLIL methodology CLIL). After 12 months of training in CLIL methodology, by different teachers and after sharing of mutual experiences, we believe to have got a important impact on the improvement of bilingual teaching action. We hope to close this Impact with: - Learning specific vocabulary in English for each subject. - Learning how to present contents in a different language. - Solving tricky grammar problems that complicate the explanation of non-language contents. - Making a guide of advises to change our monolingual materials to bilingual materials without losing the essence of the subject contents. The main beneficiaries of this training are the students who have chosen the way of the bilingual learning. As bilingual learning tends to be generalized, long-term beneficiaries will be all students at secondary and high school. We will also broadcast the results of this training in order to help other teachers from the town and across the region.
