When my students work in  e Tiwnning projects they usually learn to use different digital tools so they integrate the topics of learning with digital products and English competences. For example in a project about their town they created an ebook where they presented it, its history, its monuments  and so on and then created quizzes on it for their partners using Kahoot.

I teach English in a lower secondary school and Italian Educational Programms don' t has any ClIL activitiies , so I don't have any esperiences of CLIL. I think it is a very useful practice and I like teaching using it.

In my lesson sometimes I start inviting students to talk about the traditions of thei countries trough pratical examples : Proverbs could be a useful link because wisdom of people is similar all over the world and they are very helpful  or tonguetwisters too.

In order to encourage their self confidence and get them easily integrate in the classroom I think that the use of students' native  languages  should have some aims, for example talking trying to find out similiraties or differences between the diverse languages and use them like stimole to deep the learning activity.

I completely agree, in fact, as I said in the previuos activity, sometimes I learn from my foreign students appreciating the diversity of their language, encouraging them to show it. For example when I had Chinese students in my classroom they taught us the ideaograms, The result was  funny and useful .

Being a teacher of English in an Italian school I know what are the difficulties that Italian students have in learning a foreign language and so when the students are from aforign counries I konw that they live this problem  in a serious way, so I try to get them proud of their mother language and sometimes I suggest them to teach some special communicative functions to their classmates.

I always try to associate learning English with some fun or pratical activities for example food and cooking, body parts with physical exercices and so on . Etwinning projects and the use of digital tools give my students the opprtunity to work in an envolving and funny  way as they want to cooperate  and share their competences with foreign students

Teaching English in a lower secondary school gives me the opportunity t o understand what my students need to learn a new languages with structures and communicative functions completely different from their native language. So I try to make this process easier following their rithms of learning, associating the study with plays or pratical activities. Digital tools or projects in eTwinning give me a great support: they work in a stimulating and funny way.

Hi I'm a teacher of English in a  lower secondary school. Today in my school we have just celebrated The European Day of Languages and  I invited my students to think about the importance of learning foreign languages. Some of them said that  speaking foreign languages it's very important  not only to be closer  to different cultures and understand them  but also for their future jobs. I can add that  it helps students to get responsible and self confident citizens of the world.
