00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,679
My name is Mila and I'm the English language assistant at Colegio Santa Bárbara

2
00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:08,019
and I'm happy to be here alongside my students

3
00:00:08,019 --> 00:00:10,759
and they're happy to present the work we've done this year.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,140
Hello, my name is Bosco, I'm a student of Foro Crédito Preso.

5
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:19,140
Hello, my name is Joan and I'm a student from First of Bachillerato.

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,519
Hi, my name is Blanca and I'm a student of First of Bachillerato.

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,199
Hi, my name is Nono and I'm a student of First of Bachillerato.

8
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:32,200
Today we will be speaking about how Colegio Santa Barbara had grown with the CBC project.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,200
The CBC project is too important for our high school.

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:44,200
The CBC project is a bicultural program that ensures all students are exposed to language and culture from Spain and the United States.

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:53,200
Part of the program is to have a teacher from the United States to teach a portion of the subjects in English with content of the United States.

12
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:00,320
Today we will be speaking about our objectives, topics and skills, our courses, methodology, projects and other activities.

13
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:07,719
The main objectives of the CDC project are to learn about the culture of some English-speaking countries,

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,299
to improve oral skills and interaction in the English language and provide opportunities to speak about different everyday topics.

15
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,340
Here, as you can see, are some of the projects and topics that we have worked on.

16
00:01:20,340 --> 00:01:28,340
Here, for example, there is a map of the US. While doing it, we have learned about different identities of this country.

17
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:34,340
We have dealt with topics such as historical events that took place in different states.

18
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:38,340
We have practiced doing a normal presentation in class.

19
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:43,340
The CBC project is in first to fourth grade of ESO in these subjects.

20
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:54,319
biology, physical education, music, human values, world religion, conversation and social sciences.

21
00:01:54,319 --> 00:02:00,319
This is our methodology of our English learning, researching, understanding and executing.

22
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:06,319
These three steps are completed throughout the different domains of speaking, listening, reading and writing.

23
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:11,319
For example, in music class we've listened to audios from famous singers,

24
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:20,629
express our feelings through creative writing, read each other's work, and present our final pieces.

25
00:02:20,629 --> 00:02:25,629
Okay, so here are some of the projects we have done this year.

26
00:02:25,629 --> 00:02:29,629
In first grade, biology students have learned about the parts of the plant

27
00:02:29,629 --> 00:02:32,629
and learned about the characteristics of bacteria.

28
00:02:32,629 --> 00:02:36,629
We worked in groups and in pairs in order to dissect the flowers

29
00:02:36,629 --> 00:02:41,629
and learned about the parts of the bacteria in the science lab.

30
00:02:41,629 --> 00:02:48,810
In second grade, in music class, the two main projects were about genres, mood, and female artists.

31
00:02:49,409 --> 00:02:54,129
As you can see, we also worked in groups, giving special importance to the collaborative work.

32
00:02:56,479 --> 00:03:03,900
In third grade, social sciences students have learned about the first English settlers in the U.S.,

33
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,919
as well as the geography and climate in this country.

34
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:29,430
Okay, and last but not least, in fourth grade, religion students have learned about the different religions all around the world, as well as the characteristics of the Catholic Church, and paying special attention to female saints like Santa Teresa, as you can see in their posters.

35
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:37,629
In addition, we have done other CBC activities that have been very successful, such as the

36
00:03:37,629 --> 00:03:39,550
Spelling Bee Contest and the Spelling Bee.

37
00:03:40,810 --> 00:03:45,469
In the Spelling Bee Contest in Biology, students worked together to create a song.

38
00:03:46,069 --> 00:03:51,050
Students from all grade levels made a research investigation in order to achieve their final

39
00:03:51,050 --> 00:03:53,169
result using all their creativity.

40
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:57,289
This was the Spelling Bee Contest.

41
00:03:58,189 --> 00:04:02,770
The whole school took part in it as they practiced the spelling and pronunciation of words from

42
00:04:02,770 --> 00:04:07,770
on all subjects. Participants were excited to engage in an activity that is very common

43
00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:08,770
in the American culture.

44
00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:16,339
As you can see, the CBC project has helped Colegio Santa Barbara to grow in many directions.

45
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:17,339
Thank you for your attention.
