EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES 2021

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES.

Last  26th of September was the European Day of Languages, promoted by the European Union. Inside the Languages Departmaent in our school we decided to do some activities to celebrate it. Obviously, it was not easy to do everything that day so we decided to have a whole week to put into practise in all our ESO groups two different activities.

 

In 1º and 2º ESO we encouraged our students to be aware of the different languages that there are in Europe and we created presentations of the same word in the different languages. In 3º and 4º ESO we asked our students to be creative and to invent a word to express an idea that wasn't expressed with an existing word. It should be accompanied by an illustrative image. In general, they were surprised by the results and they have fun.

 As an example of an invented word I myself created a word from an illustration of an Italian artist, Andrea Serio, to whom I asked permission to use via Instagram. Very politely, he gave permission and praised the initiative.

 

 This EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES PRESENTATION shows very clearly what the activity was,  what we wanted our students to do and the results.
