Paul Seligson visiting EOI Girona

In April 2016 EOI Girona received the visit of Paul Seligson, author of the book English ID, published by Richmond.

The author talked to different teachers from the English Departament about the importance of being exposed to the language and using the existing knowledge of our mother tongue to help us progress in the learning of a foreign language. 

He offered two motivating workshops on how to empower our students in the learning process, how to use songs in the classroom and how to make our lessons engaging, meaningful and flexible.

Hangout of the month

Once a month we have a Google Hangout meeting with all the participants. The agenda of today was some updating of the work of each team and planning for our next Transnational meeting in Girona. Always useful to meet and see that we are heading forward!

Karolina was talking about body language and Aliki about the importance of setting goals in life. Very inspiring!
