11/Conclusions

The end of this subject....but we´ll have more English!! 

Thank you Adriana&Clara :)

Once we have finished our CLIL unit, we have to be honest. It was a very positive experience working in group but was a bit complicated to work together because our timetables were not the same and it was very difficult to meet. We all work and have other group projects to do but using different applications like Google calendar, docs and Dropbox we could manage to meet and work online in the moments we were available.

 At the beginning of the project, we chose the topic of the senses but during the Christmas break we had another idea. The reason why we changed was because doing activities we did not know what the pupils were learning about this topic. That is, there was not a meaningful learning but rather children reproduced knowledge they already knew.  Also, another reason why we changed was because we realised that almost all CLIL’s were destined for Science subject. We have wanted to break with this “tradition” and allocate to Art our unit. We think that Art allows children to get carried away by their emotions and exploit their abilities freely.

We have put in practise some methodologies we had learnt in other subjects from the degree and we found they were useful subjects now that we can connect all of them and use them in a successful way. The main one was the tasks approach.

Now in a few days we are going to our Teaching Practise as specialist!! We will see...

Thank you Theresa and Neus!!! (Great University Teachers)
