    DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

    Teaching English as a Foreign Language is a challenging process, specially when very young learners with very little linguistic competence are involved. Young learners get really stressed when learning how to read and write in English, so involving students in creating an exchange activity becomes an interesting approach for them to practise these skills: knowing other cultural realities, meeting other people from abroad is always a rewarding experience and makes us aware of the importance of English in the world. 

    The children need variety and regular changes of activity to keep them stimulated, so it is important to combine whole class teaching with individual work and also teamwork. When working as a team, the main thing is to encourage cooperation between the members so that both the team and the individual succeed.

    This holiday, Saint Valentine’s Day, has gone far beyond the celebration of romantic love and it’s now considered a great time to celebrate all forms of sharing and caring.
