Working with Projects within EFL brings language to life giving a sense to what is being learnt. Thus, you´ll find here some suggestions of the aasigments proposed by the English Language Department and an easy way of letting everyone know what you know and learn and also your skills. Working with ICT (Information & Communication Technologies) is also becoming a must nowadays. Here you´ll find easy to cope with English and the new media. Hope you enjoy it. |

The students will have to hand in, whatever the layout might be, a free, creative, open approach on the selected topics, showing their ability to work with different sources using "English" which they may come across. Details for public presentation are also important. |

The New Year has just begun. And again, our lives will be run and controlled by the festivals, celebrations and the shopping impulses which direct our intentions as a scheduled consumers´ calendar. That’s why, this month activities have to do with the biggest event after the Christmas season: Big Shooping Sales. Here, I suggest some questions to raise your awareness on the issue. |

February is Month of Love and Shrove Tuesday. People express their inner feelings either by writing and giving presents to beloved ones or dressing up to say farewell to flesh before lent. The proposed tasks are very simple and have to do with writing and eating. Check on the St. Valentine´s and Carnival site to find out more information. |

April: England Celebrations and Easter,Book Day & Shakespeare.
|
So far we have learned many things about celebrations, but now we take a further step analysing a whole country: England. This general overview will give you the opportunity of consolidating your skills and reaching almost proficiency at the use of Information and Communication Technologies. This activities are presented with a slightly different approach. The tasks are a group of activities gathered as a webquest to search for information on England, Easter and Shakespeare. You will have to do your best to create your own materials which will be sent by email, as usual, but will also be shown in the English class. Surf the net and capture images, get specific information and even sounds to elaborate a final assignment based on your creativity. It´s not difficult and it is worth trying. Hope you´ll enjoy it. |

By this time, you are supposed to have reached an expertise level of English and technology to be able to fill in official documents which will be useful to you in the future and surf the Net for specific information. I hope you have lernt a lot working this way and I would also appreciate your comments at the feedback website especially designed for it. It´s been a pleasure and wish you the very best. |
