THE LIMIT OF OUR LANGUAGE IS THE LIMIT OF OUR WORLD

Language is communication and culture. Knowing a foreign language is relationship with other people, comparing cultures and understanding others´point of view. The more languages we know the more we will know about the world we live in.

A REVIEW OF OUR INTERNATIONAL SEMAINE IN OUR SCHOOL . A BIG THANK YOU!

2008-11-29T01:26:00.008+01:00

First of all I would like to thank all the individuals involved in designing and carrying out this project: The French teachers,especially Encarnación Robles;Leah , our language assistant from Virgina; Aaron our male language assistant from Canada and Mr. Antonio-Luis Rodriguez, Inspector of Education.I would also like to thank the collaboration of my colleagues in the English Department:Rafael Nieto, Juan-Antonio, Antonio Robles and Javier Salinas. Thanks for your support and encouragement. Finally, I don´t want to forget the expertise of our two Erasmus students: Luca and Jana.Thanks to all of you.

I have to share with you, colleagues and students, that it has been a very interesting experience: THE DISCOVERY OF THE BLOG . With this ICT tool , I have been able to post all the activities just minutes after they have taken place. It has been a unique and rewarding experience worth the effort.

I hope this cultural week has been a turning point for most of you. Our main goal has been to encourage you to see English and French languages as TOOLS of interacting with other people and cultures.
