INTRODUCTION

One of the priorities addressed by the project is revising and strengthening the
professional profile of the teaching profession. As teachers, we have a need to be
well equipped and keep up-to-date with ICT tools and new technologies in order to
motivate and engage our students. The educational marketplace is undergoing a
transformation as there are more and more technological advances such as Internet
file-sharing, open educational resources, augmented reality, digital assessment
tools, etc. In order to keep up with these changes and exploiting them for our
students’ benefit, we need to acquire these competences to improve learning
outcomes. This is the reason why we want to improve our digital competence by
using innovative, student-centred pedagogical approaches, and implementing
assessment tools through which levels of competence can be effectively assessed
and​ ​evaluated.

During the project the teachers of the participating schools worked jointly on creating
teaching materials for enhancing linguistic and intercultural competences with a
special focus on Business language. We also shared good practices of fostering
different skills with the aim of making our students independent language users by
the time they enter the world of work and equipping them with competences that can
serve​ a​ s​ ​a​ ​basis​ ​for​ ​further​ d​ evelopment​ i​ n​ ​the​ f​ orm​ o​ f​ ​lifelong​ ​learning.

We embedded the use of technologies in our everyday practice as all the activities
were carried out with the help of ICT tools. Students and teachers alike have
developed through this as digital tools offer unprecedented opportunities to improve
quality and reduce barriers as well as enable learners to follow a flexible and
individualised​ l​ earning​ ​path.

All the teachers participating in the KA2 project ​“YES for Future - Your
Entrepreneurial Skills” have recorded their work and experiences in this handbook
of good practices, which has been designed to provide other teachers with an
overview of a selection of free web tools, websites, and mobile apps with practical

examples that have utility in nearly every lower and upper secondary classroom as
well as methodologies, evaluation methods and teaching techniques. In each section
a variety of tools is presented as we all have different levels of access to computers
and tablets, different school web filtering policies, and different needs for our
students. The tools and resources that we have included in this handbook are the
ones that we have used with the participating students and in the professional
development workshops that we have conducted during the training events,
transnational​ ​meetings​ ​and​ s​ tudent​ ​exchanges.

virtual​ c​ lass​ ​environment​ t​ hat​ e​ nables​ t​ he​ ​teacher​ t​ o​ ​monitor​ ​their​ ​student’s​ ​work.
Teachers can do lots of things with it: sending assignments, posting announcements,
email students individually or as groups, track when students turn in their
assignments,​ s​ hare​ ​due​ ​dates​ w​ ith​ m​ entors.​ Y​ ou​ c​ an​ ​even​ f​ lip​ ​the​ c​ lassroom.
In terms of developing writing skills, it is very useful as students can work
collaboratively in google docs as you can comment and send them feedback on their
writing. The students can also use add-ons to highlight text or use an online
dictionary, for example. Teachers can create rubrics using these add-ons to assess
the​ ​students’​ ​pieces​ o​ f​ w​ riting​ ​and​ s​ tudents​ ​can​ c​ reate​ ​their​ o​ wn​ d​ igital​ ​portfolios
Finally, as a teacher, you can collaborate with other teachers by letting your
students interact with other students from other classrooms or schools by creating a
group​ p​ roject​ ​in​ ​the​ ​form​ ​of​ a​ n​ ​email​ ​exchange​ ​project​ ​between​ ​two​ s​ chools.

resume is our main presentation letter if we are looking for a job, they opted for two
main​ t​ ools​ ​from​ a​ ​ ​variety​ o​ f​ t​ hem:​ ​Genially​ ​and​ E​ uropass​ ​Curriculum​ ​Vitae.

An online CV is the perfect tool for this because it can be accessed from anywhere
with a simple click on a link. One of the biggest advantages of having a CV stored in
the cloud is that the changes you make will automatically update (the link stays the
same) for everyone who look at it a second time without you needing to send a link
again.

GENIALLY
Many of our students opted for this tool to create an interactive CV as they consider
it is important to show information off in a way that is visually attractive.The digital
world offers endless possibilities to search for work and we need to be able to take
full​ ​advantage​ ​of​ ​it.
Genially enables you to create a series of CV templates which are completely
modifiable and free. You can find them under the category ‘CV’ once you have
started a session in ​Genially.​ Y​ ou can add images, docs, and links to web pages, or
you can give additional information through videos. This option is especially great
for illustrating your job experience and educational background, skills, or social
media​ ​profiles​ i​ n​ a​ n​ o​ riginal​ w​ ay.
You can edit the text and images background colours, information in the tags, and
info about your name or anything else you want to change, and can also change the
effects for each element, resizing bars and shapes to highlight your skills and
strengths.​ ​See​ s​ ome​ ​CVs​ ​designed​ ​by​ t​ he​ s​ tudents:

COMMON TOOLS USED FOR EVALUATION AND BUSINESS ENGLISH
COMPETITIONS
GOOGLE​ F​ ORMS
It is an easy tool that lets you quickly create a survey or assessment and then send it
to students, parents, teachers or staff. Answers will be automatically tracked in a
separate spreadsheet. Because forms are filled out online, there is no need to enter
in results manually. Responses are collected and displayed immediately in a
corresponding Google Drive spreadsheet (Sheets), which allows you to sort, analyze
and​ ​visualize​ ​the​ ​information.
You can select from multiple question types, drag-and-drop to reorder questions and
customize values as easily as pasting a list. You can use Google Forms with a
personal​ ​Google​ a​ ccount,​ ​or​ ​through​ ​a​ ​Google​ A​ pps​ f​ or​ ​Education​ ​account.

KAHOOT
It is a game-based classroom response system which offers teachers an engaging
way to test the learning and knowledge of their students. It can be used as a
review.. Students sign in using a class code. You can easily create an account; it is
free for everyone, be it a teacher, student or any other user. Users just need to fill
the​ ​basic​ ​information​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​complete​ t​ he​ ​profile.
Kahoot saves the result of every quiz played over the platform. When learners start
quizzing they need to enter their nickname and their recorded scores are saved in
their​ p​ rofile.

QUIZIZZ

It can be great for formative assessment as can be a great way to help students
review before a test. Teachers and students in general are more familiar with the
multiplayer gaming website Kahoot. Quizziz is an alternative to Kahoot, and it is very
similar​ t​ o​ i​ t,​ ​with​ ​a​ ​few​ ​key​ d​ ifferences:
Just like Kahoot, the teacher (or student host) chooses a quiz to begin. A five digit
game code is provided. Players point their browsers to j​ oin.quizzizz.com and input
the game code, along with their names. If players are using smartphones or tablets,
you​ j​ ust​ d​ isplay​ t​ he​ j​ oin​ l​ ink​ a​ s​ a​ ​ Q​ R​ ​code.
Kahoot is designed (o​ n purpose​) to show multiple choice questions on a large
screen, and students respond by clicking buttons on their devices that correspond to
the answers they want to choose. Quizizz takes a different approach. No projector is
necessary because players see questions and answer options on their own screens.
The question order is randomized for each student, so it is not easy for players to
cheat. With Quizizz, players don’t have to wait for the whole class to answer a
question​ ​before​ t​ hey​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​the​ n​ ext​ o​ ne.

QUIZLET

Quizlet is a simplistic app that enables students and teachers to create digital ‘study
sets’ or ‘flash cards’. You simply type in your questions or ‘Terms’ and your answers
or ‘Definitions’. These resources can then be engaged with and shared in a number
of ways. The setup is really simple. However, the nice thing about the app is that you
can expand the horizons of its use. This is how it can be embedded into the
classroom in a number of ways. For example you can use it as a revision resource,
as homework or as a language learning tool. It includes automated voice with
different​ ​language​ ​options.

TEACHING​ B​ USINESS​ ​ENGLISH

Practical ideas for the Business English classroom: – Making the most
of video

This is the second article of a three-part Business English series by ELT teacher,
teacher trainer and course book author, John Hughes. Here, he looks at how the use
of​ ​video​ c​ an​ s​ upport business​ E​ nglish​ ​teaching.
One survey into the use of video in education reports that teachers increasingly
welcome this tool as a means to support learning. For example, 68% of teachers
believe video stimulates discussion, 66% say video increases motivation and 62%
think their teaching is more effective by using video. Please see the link provided at
the​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​article​ ​for​ m​ ore​ d​ etails​ o​ f​ t​ his​ s​ urvey.
These figures are all based on responses to education in general, but I’d suggest
that if you were to research similar figures for Business English teachers, you’d
probably find the percentages were even higher. That’s simply because video lends
itself​ ​in​ ​so​ ​many​ w​ ays​ t​ o​ B​ usiness​ E​ nglish​ t​ eaching.
Here are five examples of how to integrate video into your Business English lessons,
with​ ​suggestions​ f​ or​ ​classroom​ a​ ctivities.

Presentation​ s​ kills
The internet is full of videos showing different types of business presentations. They
range from the highly professional presentations we associate with speakers on TED
to much more basic material. With all of these we can assess the presenters’
performances with our students and decide what techniques and language will help
improve their presentations. In addition, we can also video our own students giving
presentations. By using the video recorder on a basic mobile device, you can record
a student’s performance, use it to give them feedback, and let them self-assess their
own​ ​presentation.
Watch this p​ resentation taken from TED talks. It’s called ‘The magic washing
machine’ and gives students a masterclass in how to use visual aids in a
presentation.

Workplace​ ​and​ p​ rocess​ v​ ideos
I once taught business and technical English in a factory instead of a language
school. This was much easier than being in a normal classroom because I could take
the students onto the factory floor and have them talk about their workplace.
However, we don’t always teach students at their workplace, so video can help. For
example, ask your students to make short videos of their workplace and film the key
stages of a process. Then they can bring these into class and describe what is
happening on screen. You’ll also find a range of videos online that showcase
different companies and how they work. These are a great resource to teach the
language​ f​ or​ ​describing​ ​workplaces​ ​and​ ​their​ p​ rocesses.
This ​process video shows how IKEA produces its furniture. Students can watch and
note​ d​ own​ ​the​ d​ ifferent​ ​stages​ ​or​ ​information​ a​ bout​ ​the​ ​company​ a​ nd​ ​its​ s​ tructure.

Infographic​ ​video
One modern genre of video is the ‘infographic video’ (also called ‘kinetic typography
video’). It shows animated text on screen which merges with images and may have
narration or simply some background music. You can write comprehension
questions for students to answer whilst they watch. Many business infographic
videos tend to include lots of numbers and figures, so I give students the numbers
shown​ i​ n​ t​ he​ ​video​ a​ nd​ ​ask​ t​ hem​ t​ o​ ​note​ d​ own​ w​ hat​ t​ hese​ ​refer​ t​ o.
This​ ​infographic​ ​video​ ​looks​ ​at​ t​ he​ ​importance​ o​ f​ u​ sing​ v​ ideo​ i​ n​ b​ usiness.

Interviews
One of the simplest video formats is the interview or a business person talking
directly to the camera. If you want to teach the language of specific business area,
then find an interview with an expert in the field. Alternatively, make your own video
by preparing a set of questions and interview a real business person to show in
class. If you teach very experienced business people, then interview them and ask
their permission to show their video to another class. In particular, if you teach

different one-to-one classes, interview each of your students with the same set of
questions. Then show the videos of the students to each other. It’s a nice way to
bring other people into your one-to-one lessons and for students to share their
knowledge.
Take a look at this i​ nterview with an expert talking about cultural differences in
business.​ I​ t’s​ t​ aken​ ​from​ t​ he​ v​ ideos​ i​ n​ ​the​ ​Business​ ​Result​ s​ eries.

Short​ ​films
Using short films in a lesson can add some fun and variety. For example, one short
video called ‘The Black Hole’ looks at what happens when an office worker
photocopies a black hole which has magical properties. Play it to students and ask
them to think what they would use a ‘black hole’ for at work. Another short film called
‘Signs’ lasting about twelve minutes offers all sorts of opportunities for use in the
classroom. The first two minutes show a young man going through the same work
routine every day – a perfect springboard into the use of the present simple, and for
getting​ ​students​ ​to​ t​ alk​ ​about​ t​ heir​ r​ outines.
Here​ ​is​ t​ he​ ‘​ ​The​ ​Black​ ​Hole’​ ​video,​ ​and​ ​here​ i​ s​ ‘​ ​Signs’​ .
And finally, here is the s​ urvey I mentioned at the beginning of the article about using
video​ ​in education.

THE​ E​ UROPEAN​ ​LANGUAGE​ ​PORTFOLIO
During the transnational meeting held in Finland, November 2014, one of the
workshops carried out was “”How to use the European Language Portfolio”. Since
then students have been encouraged to make use of it during the life of the project
as well as other Europass documents like the Language Passport or the CV
Document without forgetting the Europass Mobility Document, which served as a
validation tool that we used to record the students’ knowledge and skills acquired
after​ e​ ach​ m​ obility.

BILINGUAL PROGRAMME AND LINGUISTIC PROJECT AT IES SANTIAGO
APÓSTOL

Bilingual​ P​ rogramme.​ ​Now​ a​ nd​ t​ hen

For a better understanding of how bilingual programmes work in Spain , first we
should look at the historical background of Spain in the last 30 or 40 years and how
the​ d​ ifferent​ e​ ducation​ p​ olicies​ ​have​ a​ ffected​ ​the​ ​teaching​ ​of​ ​foreign​ l​ anguages.

If we look back at Franco’s dictatorship, in those days Spanish was the only official
language in Spain. Other languages like Catalan or Basque were not in use in the
public sphere or schools. Under Franco’s dictatorship (1939-1975), the promotion of
a​ s​ ingle​ ​culture​ ​and​ l​ anguage​ ​was​ v​ ery​ s​ trict.

In Spain there has traditionally been a problem with the command of foreign
languages, maybe due to a perceived lack of necessity, since so many people in the
world speak Spanish, also because of the isolation of Spain from the rest of Europe.
In addition, French was the language which most students learnt at school and for
them English was a useless subject that didn’t have to do with life. For teachers,
English​ ​was​ j​ ust​ ​a​ ​job​ a​ nd​ ​a​ ​useful​ ​language​ ​for​ t​ ravelling.

But after Spain joined the formerly EEC in 1986, the teaching of foreign languages
has undergone substantial improvement. With the Education Reform in 1990 basic
compulsory education was extended by two years (previously ending at the age of
14 and from then on at the age of 16). In terms of foreign languages new goals
needed to be set to follow European standards and regulations. As a result, there
was​ ​a​ ​switch​ f​ rom​ F​ rench​ ​to​ ​English​ a​ s​ t​ he​ ​first​ f​ oreign​ l​ anguage​ t​ aught​ a​ t​ ​schools.

There was even a political determination to improve students' level of foreign
languages and this interest in foreign languages led to the introduction of bilingual
programmes. Many non-language teachers have asked for help to learn about CLIL
methodology​ s​ ince

Bilingual​ ​programmes​ ​in​ ​Spain
The term ‘bilingual’ refers to the fact that students are going to get education in two
languages. This is important because, so far, education has been completely
monolingual: students had formal instruction of foreign language as a subject, but
there​ w​ as​ ​no​ ​teaching​ o​ f​ ​content​ t​ hrough​ E​ nglish.
Many Spanish state schools are now offering bilingual programmes to their students
in a number of forms. Each secondary school has the freedom to develop its own
curriculum regarding which subjects are taught in the foreign language and for how
long​ e​ ach​ ​week.
Most schools and all the schools offering bilingual programmes have a foreign
language assistant whose main role is that of a mere culture and language
informant, but indeed their work enriches the learning experience for the children and
for​ t​ he​ ​content​ ​teachers.
Features:
Coordination​ t​ eam
Language​ a​ ssistants
Continuity​ f​ rom​ P​ rimary​ ​to​ S​ econdary​ ​Education

Teacher​ t​ raining​ ​programmes​ ​(linguistic​ a​ nd​ ​methodological)

Bilingual​ ​programmes​ ​in​ E​ xtremadura

Gradually in the last decade more and more schools started to implement bilingual
programmes, mostly in English and some in French and Portuguese. Out of a total of
549 primary and secondary schools about 274 run bilingual programmes, which
represents 49% of schools. 153 in primary, 111 in secondary and 10 in vocational
education.

Our​ B​ ilingual​ p​ rogramme​ s​ tructure
Students’​ a​ dmission​ ​and​ ​arrangement​ ​of​ g​ roups
Students volunteer to take part in the programme. The schools developing bilingual
projects are allowed to establish selection procedures in order to incorporate
students in the programme. In our case, they have to take a diagnosis test at the
beginning of the school year to check their standard of English. Most of them are
admitted in the programme, but if we feel they can have difficulties we have a
meeting with the parents and agree by mutual consent which educational response
is best. There is always the possibility of joining the programme later on if it is
advised​ b​ y​ ​their​ c​ lass​ t​ eachers.
Parents sign a commitment form on behalf of their children to stay in the programme
during​ t​ he​ ​four​ ​years​ o​ f​ ​compulsory​ ​secondary​ ​education.
Most primary and secondary state schools arrange groups in mixed-ability classes
(70%); however, the students taking part in the bilingual programme have different
lessons and teachers regarding the subjects taught within the programme, English
included.
However there are schools where the students in the bilingual programme are
together in the same class. This was our case when we started implementing the
programme but over time we decided to mix the students in different classes for a
better​ ​integration​ ​in​ ​school​ l​ ife.

Other​ ​features
The programme starts at the beginning of lower secondary, when they are 12 years
old and it is extended throughout the whole period of compulsory education, until the
fourth​ ​grade.
At least two subjects must be taught using the foreign language. In each of these
subjects considered in the programme, the foreign language must be used in at least
one weekly period, which means that roughly 30 per cent of the contents are taught
through​ E​ nglish.
The weekly schedule and contents of these non lingüistic subjects are the same as
those​ ​followed​ ​by​ ​the​ ​rest​ o​ f​ ​the​ s​ tudents.
ln this programme students must do a second foreign language, usually French, and

Teachers
Teachers have to prove their B2 level of proficiency by means of the certificates
admitted​ o​ fficially.

Among the teachers involved in the programme, there is a coordinator, usually a
teacher​ ​from​ ​the​ ​English​ d​ epartment.​ T​ heir​ ​role​ ​is:

Conduct​ w​ eekly​ m​ eetings

strengthen​ ​teachers​ ​cooperation.

Encourage staff members to take part in courses aimed at improving their foreign
language​ s​ kills

Activities
Outside the regular academic programme we arrange a number of extracurricular
activities every year in order to increase the students’ exposure to language, to
encourage​ ​cooperation​ a​ nd​ ​experience​ ​other​ ​cultures.

Methodology
CLIL​ ​uses​ ​English​ ​as​ ​a​ ​medium​ ​to​ t​ each​ o​ ther​ s​ ubject​ ​areas
CLIL​ ​focuses​ o​ n​ f​ luency​ ​and​ c​ ommunication
CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a
foreign language with a double aim, the learning of content, and the simultaneous
learning​ o​ f​ ​a​ ​foreign​ ​language'.​ (​ Marsh,​ ​1994)
From the very beginning, when we started off with the bilingual project, we have
followed the regional regulations on the issue including 30% of the subject content
through the medium of English. However, we have always put emphasis on
communicative competence and we feel communication should pay a prominent role
over content. It is no use learning the names of bones or muscles if there is not a
communicative purpose in itself. Currently, we tend to integrate contents in a way
that the student can make connections with their own experience and we use

supportive strategies like working in groups, using graphs, graphic organizers (to
structure writing projects, to help in problem solving, decision making, studying,
planning research and brainstorming) , visuals, ICT applications, content area texts-
Scaffolding​ ​learning​ ​(building​ ​on​ ​what​ l​ earners​ ​already​ k​ now)
Language and content are also integrated through task-based or project-based
activities. Through these activities we can motivate students to use English to
communicate in the real world. The final product can be a presentation based on a
given topic or a research, conduct an interview, making a video, cooking a meal …,
but. of course, the focus is not only on the product but also on the process of
learning.

Evaluation
Conclusions​ ​(on​ ​regional​ l​ evel)
Strengths
Interest​ ​of​ ​families​.​ C​ ommitted​ ​to​ t​ heir​ c​ hildren’s​ e​ ducation
The bilingual programmes contribute to the improvement of the school’s e​ ducational
programmes​. Through the programme, families expect their children to improve their
standards​ ​in​ ​foreign​ ​languages.
Students’ performance was remarkable last year in the region: 80% proved a B2
level​ ​of​ E​ nglish​ ​according​ ​to​ ​the​ ​European​ ​Framework.
Culture of hard work is also promoted by implementing the programme. It is an extra
effort​ f​ or​ b​ oth​ s​ tudents​ ​and​ ​teachers.
The experience involves more c​ ooperation and new methodological approaches for
content​ s​ ubject​ ​teachers
Positive​ c​ ontribution​ ​of​ ​foreign​ ​language​ ​assistants

Weaknesses
Lack​ ​of​ t​ eachers​ w​ ith​ ​the​ ​required​ l​ evel​ o​ f​ E​ nglish
Performance differences between primary and secondary students, French and
English
Lack​ ​of​ ​appropriate​ t​ raining​ f​ or​ c​ ontent​ s​ ubject​ ​teachers
Lack​ o​ f​ f​ inancial​ ​support

Threats​ ​and​ ​opportunities
- Exposure to foreign language restricted to classrooms (dubbed movies,
limited use of FL in mass media …) Foreign language used in an academic
context.
- Difficulties​ i​ n​ ​finding​ s​ ubstitute​ ​teachers
- Specific​ ​difficulties​ i​ n​ ​rural​ ​areas​ ​in​ t​ erms​ o​ f​ t​ ransport​ m​ ainly.
+ Globalization​ a​ nd​ m​ obility​ i​ n​ t​ erms​ ​of​ ​work​ ​and​ ​training.

+ Coping with undermotivated students, lack of hard work, discipline problems
may​ ​lead​ ​teachers​ t​ o​ ​try​ ​new​ a​ pproaches​ ​and​ f​ orms​ o​ f​ o​ rganization.

+ Proximity to neighbouring countries like Portugal or France is an opportunity
to​ ​expand​ ​the​ p​ rogrammes​ ​in​ t​ hose​ l​ anguages

PLC​ ​(School's​ ​Linguistic​ P​ roject)

Rationale
There are several factors that brought about (or led to) the implementation of the
Linguistic Project: the integration of key competences in curricula, the European
framework, external evaluations like PISA report and the implementation of bilingual
programmes developed jointly by non linguistic departments and foreign language
departments. The former required and still demand strategies and methodology to
address​ ​the​ ​communicative​ ​competence.
In addition, many teachers feel a need to do something about the difficulties that
students find in written and spoken production and we think that teaching a subject
does not only mean a simple transfer of knowledge but also involves dealing with
communication skills, so we really want to develop communication and know-how
skills.

How?​ ​Steps​ t​ o​ e​ nhance​ ​the​ s​ tudents’​ ​language​ c​ ompetence
All​ ​the​ d​ epartments​ ​agreed​ ​to​ ​fulfill​ ​these​ c​ ommitments:
Perform​ s​ peaking​ ​activities​ ​and​ c​ ommon​ ​assessment​ ​criteria
Include common guidelines for oral presentations, projects presented in writing and
in​ ​digital​ ​form​ a​ nd​ e​ rror​ ​correction​ ​(mention​ c​ ommon​ d​ ocuments)
Whenever possible there will be a weekly meeting for the team of teachers in charge
of​ ​the​ l​ inguistic​ p​ roject​ ​to​ ​monitor​ i​ ts​ ​implementation​ ​and​ c​ oordinate​ a​ ctivities.
Include a communicative task dealing with the four main language skills every school
term.

Interconnections​ w​ ith​ ​the​ ​bilingual​ ​programme
Coordination and cooperation depend on volunteer work of the teachers involved.
The future of CLIL projects still depends mostly on teacher's availability and
willingness​ ​to​ k​ eep​ t​ rying​ ​on​ t​ heir​ ​own.
Foreign language teachers and in particular the bilingual programme coordinator’s
role is to encourage the team of teachers in the bilingual programme to perform
common​ t​ asks​ ​or​ i​ nterdisciplinary​ a​ ctivities

Conclusions
Expanding​ ​the​ p​ rogramme​ t​ o​ a​ ll​ ​the​ s​ chool,​ ​different​ l​ evels.
There’s room for improvement in terms of human resources, more teaching hours of
language​ a​ ssistants,​ m​ ore​ f​ unding

External assessment tests to prove the proficiency level acquired by students when
they​ ​finish​ ​the​ p​ rogramme

LEARNING COMMUNITIES (INTERACTIVE GROUPS / DIALOGIC LITERARY
AND​ A​ RTISTIC​ ​TEACHING)
Interactive​ g​ roups.​ ​An​ ​approach​ t​ o​ ​achieve​ s​ chool​ ​success
It is a different way to organize and work in class which improves our students'
learning level and their relationship at school. The students are arranged in small
groups monitored by an adult and are engaged with their peers in a common task.
Each group has a time limit to complete the task and rotates to move on to do the
next task. Basically, through the use of this approach, underachieving students are
not separated from the class to be helped, but rather the opposite, the teachers ask
other adults to intervene in the class for help and all students take part on equal
conditions.
How​ ​many​ ​people​ c​ an​ p​ articipate​ i​ n​ ​class?
5 or 6 students in each different team (heterogeneous mixed ability group). Always
the​ ​same​ ​students​ i​ n​ e​ ach​ ​class​ ​group.
One​ a​ dult​ (​ not​ ​a​ ​teacher,​ a​ ​ ​volunteer)
The​ t​ eacher​ m​ onitors​ t​ he​ ​students​ ​but​ d​ oes​ ​not​ ​take​ ​part.
How​ ​do​ ​we​ ​work​ ​in​ ​interactive​ g​ roups?​ T​ here​ ​is​ ​one​ d​ ifferent​ ​activity​ i​ n​ e​ ach​ ​group.
Students​ m​ ust​ d​ o​ ​the​ a​ ctivity​ ​together.
They​ ​have​ ​about​ 1​ 0​ t​ o​ ​15​ ​minutes​ ​to​ c​ omplete​ ​each​ ​activity.
When they finish, they change places and do a different activity. Volunteers’ role is to
produce dynamic supportive learning interactions in each group and guide the
activity, not to replace the teacher’s role. They do not have to explain the task, they

only have to encourage the students to be critical and solve problems by
themselves.

Some​ c​ lues​ ​to​ w​ ork​ ​in​ ​interactive​ g​ roups
Activities​ m​ ust​ ​be​ ​done​ ​helping​ e​ ach​ ​other.
They​ n​ eed​ ​to​ c​ ollaborate​ ​and​ p​ articipate.
They​ ​need​ t​ o​ o​ rganize​ t​ he​ ​task​ b​ y​ t​ hemselves​ ​and​ t​ hey​ s​ hould​ ​be​ p​ atient.
They​ h​ ave​ ​to​ ​respect​ ​and​ ​listen​ t​ o​ ​each​ ​other​ (​ students​ a​ nd​ v​ olunteers).
What about the volunteers? They are not teachers, but usually family members like
parents, former students or other community members. In general, people who take
part in the interactive groups have some connection with the school (from some local
associations,​ ​university...).

Dialogic​ l​ iterary​ a​ nd​ ​artistic​ ​teaching
It is a different way to discuss and comment a book or an artistic work through
dialogue.
Students can choose a book of universal literature. In each session, everybody must
have​ r​ ead​ t​ he​ ​same​ p​ art​ ​of​ ​the​ b​ ook​ ​(pages/chapters).
Everybody​ ​must​ h​ ave​ c​ hosen​ o​ ne​ p​ aragraph.
A​ ​student​ ​becomes​ ​the​ m​ oderator.
Each student reads aloud a passage and shares why he/she has chosen it. They
give​ t​ heir​ o​ pinion​ a​ bout​ ​each​ ​extract.
In dialogic artistic teaching the teacher's role is to choose an artistic work and explain
the main topics that could be commented about it such as historical background,
level of representation, realistic/expressionist approach, technical aspects (colours,
light...), whereas students search for some information related to the artistic work
and those topics. They choose the most important/ interesting piece of information
for them, share it with the other students and explain the reasons why they have
chosen​ i​ t.
