Talks and workshops for secondary schools

Schools + PTAs > Talks for secondary schools

Cambridge School proposes different formats of activities (talks/workshops) for students between 12 and 17 years old, all of them  given by native teachers from our schools.  

1- TALKS

Our talks for high school students can be about the culture of Britain or another English-speaking country (e.g., New Zealand, Australia, US or Canada) or any topic of interest for students of this age.

Objetivos

talks-secondary-institutions-english
  • Provide students with the chance to meet and talk to a person from an English-speaking country and practice speaking and listening in English.
  • Give students an opportunity to practice the language they study at school.
  • Provide an opportunity for self-assessment in a situation different from the typical classroom activity. 

Description

The talk allows discussing in detail the subject proposed, extending vocabulary and focusing on English pronunciation. The teacher starts the talk with a presentation in PowerPoint or a similar format to introduce the topic before moving on to questions from students.

2- RAP WORKSHOP

Es un taller de inglés con un profesor nativo de Cambridge School que fomenta el aprendizaje del inglés a través de la música Rap, en un workshop participativo que incluye una introducción a estas músicas y la producción de canciones y letras propias por parte de los alumnos. 

Objetivos

  • Motivar y animar a los alumnos a aprender inglés a través de una disciplina artística y cultural que conecta con sus gustos y que resulta muy próxima a sus necesidades durante la etapa adolescente.
  • Poderse evaluar individualmente ante una situación diferente a la que se pueden hallar dentro del aula

Description

La actividad consta de dos partes:

1) Primera parte: Contextualización y preparación. Con una breve introducción a la cultura Hip-Hop y al Rap, ejercicios prácticos de rima, métrica y otros aspectos técnicos del rap, y ejercicios de vocabulario sobre temas específicos mediante juegos para activar vocabulario preexistente y aprender léxico nuevo.

2) Segunda parte: Sesión creativa, en que los alumnos se dividen en grupos reducidos y escriben sus propias letras, mientras el profesor monitoriza el proceso y asiste a los alumnos, ofreciéndoles ideas y sugerencias, así como correcciones de vocabulario y pronunciación. Y el Gran Final: los alumnos interpretan su rap delante del resto de clase.

Details
