December 2010

Beth and Victoria are the English language assistants in our High School this year. They will be teaching from October to May. Beth comes from the United States and Victoria from Great Kingdom. For that reason, our students will be lucky to listen to both American and British English.

“Beth and I arrived nearly 3 months ago, we have settled in perfectly thanks to the helpful and welcoming people of Ubrique. We think Ubrique is a beautiful town with many interesting sites. The teachers and the children at Los Remedios have been nothing but kind and considerate to both of us. We look forward to returning in January, and we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!” Victoria and Beth

Interdisciplinary Projects

Every year the bilingual students work on an interdisciplinary project. First, the teachers who teach the bilingual subjects meet to choose, design and plan the activities for the common topic. Then, we ask the students to make a research and to make posters and writings on the chosen topic.
