There are many interesting topics divided by subject.

The English level is aimed at children and teenagers,

so it is manageable for our English students.

CLIL

As I'm going to work in a bilingual high school, I'm surfing the net looking for materials, ideas and teaching tips to share with the team of teachers doing this project. I find this web which is really interesting! There are lots of activities and links of different subjects: Technology, P.E., History, Geography, Science, Chemistry, Maths and so on.

Using songs to learn English

Have you ever tried to guess what are the lyrics of your favourite songs?

Try this web and read the lyrics of the songs while you're singing!

Good point for learning English through music!

What a feeling!

I've just visited my new high school "Pay Arias" in Espejo.

Thanks everybody for your welcome.

I want to dedicate this song to all my new mates

This is how I really feel today!

Create your own comic

Surfing the net I've found this funny website about creating one's comics:

http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/

It's an encellent chance for our students to use English (or any other language) to create their comics as they can choose the characters, language, scenes and so on!

I'm sure they will make the best of it!

Links for French Teachers

I have added some links dedicated to French teachers as they are also teachers of a foreign language in our high schools and most of the time we share time and space.

World Atlas & Map Library

Today, I want to highlight this website:

http://www.factmonster.com/atlas/

It's about geography with detailed maps and information of every country in the world.

It gives us information about flags, cities, population and so on and includes two useful tools: a distance calculator and latitude-longitude finder.

There is also science and technology information:

http://www.factmonster.com/science.html

I'm sure this site will be a useful tool for teachers and students

Enjoy your trip!
