Estudando inglês no Canadá...

Se engana quem acha que saber um idioma é apenas o estudo diário de gramática, vocabulário, etc. Aprender uma língua vai muito além do ambiente da sala de aula. Para que o estudante realmente conheça, aprenda, e assimile um idioma, é preciso também vivenciar mais do que o ambiente: "sala de aula", e sim, vivenciar a cultura local. Interagir e conversar com aqueles que moram na cidade.

Bruna, também professora de Ed. Física, e de Judô da Escolinha do Colégio Anglo-Americano no Rio de Janeiro, está em Toronto, no Canadá estudando inglês há seis meses, e vivenciando a cultura local, costumes, clima, datas comemorativas, e tudo mais que está incluído nesta viagem não só de aprendizado de uma língua, mas de aprendizado de uma cultura: um aprendizado para a vida!

Bruna tem a chance não só de vivenciar a cultura canadense, mas também de interagir com pessoas de vários países do mundo, num ambiente rico culturalmente, um ambiente multicultural.

How to make the teachers' dreams come true?

CLIL - Content and Language Integrated Learning

Underlying principles of CLIL according to BBC Website: 

"The principles behind Content and Language Integrated Learning include global statements such as 'all teachers are teachers of language' (The Bullock Report - A Language for Life, 1975) to the wide-ranging advantages of cross-curricular bilingual teaching in statements from the Content and Language Integrated Project (CLIP). The benefits of CLIL may be seen in terms of cultural awareness, internationalisation, language competence, preparation for both study and working life, and increased motivation.

While CLIL may be the best-fit methodology for language teaching and learning in a multilingual Europe, the literature suggests that there remains a dearth of CLIL-type materials, and a lack of teacher training programmes to prepare both language and subject teachers for CLIL teaching. The theory may be solid, but questions remain about how theory translates into classroom practice."

Education World Website

What a great website I found out on the web, everyone! Check it out:

In 1996, the founders of EducationWorld recognized the need to create a home for educators on the Internet, a place where teachers could gather and share ideas. They wanted to create a complete online resource that educators could visit each day to find high-quality lesson plans and research materials.
The result is EducationWorld.com, a resource that includes

• original content, including lesson plans, practical information for educators, information on how to integrate technology in the classroom, and articles written by education experts;
• Web site reviews;
• special features and columns; and
• employment listings.

The EducationWorld team works hard to produce this FREE resource for educators. In order to keep the site free for all visitors, EducationWorld is funded by corporate sponsors and advertisers.

UN Days, Weeks and Years > International Days and Weeks

Since the early days of the United Nations system, the UN has established a set of Days and Weeks (as listed below), Years and Decades to help focus the world on the issues in which the UN has an interest and commitment. The UN calls on Member States and other organizations to mark these days in ways which reflect their priorities.

Sometimes the promotion of a specific day is led by a specific UN agency or programme, for example the World Health Organization (WHO) leads World Health Day and World No-Tobacco Day, UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) leads World Water Day and International Literacy Day, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) leads World Environment Day etc.

Some UN agencies also have their own international days (e.g. WHO's World TB Day and UNESCO's World Philosophy Day), established and promoted by the agency but not designated by the UN General Assembly for the full UN system. While equivalent in purpose, the following list does not include agency-specified days.

Eco-92 Speech

Severn Suzuki - "The Girl Who Silenced The World"

Severn Cullis-Suzuki was only 12 years old when she spoke before the UN earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. A child speaking before adults representing all the countries in the world – yet her speech was anything but childish.

Projeto: "As salas que se transformam"

Em abril de 2012, os alunos e os professores do Colégio Anglo-Americano de Nova Ipanema, no Rio de Janeiro, deram mais uma demonstração de criatividade e talento. O projeto: "As salas que se transformam (em livro)" foi um tremendo sucesso, especialmente nas turmas das professoras de inglês que ensaiaram as crianças para darem um "Show de Inglês"!

Congratulations teachers: Monicka, Michele, Danielle, Natália, Daniela, Lizandra, Ísis, Débora e Carolina!

As salas que se transformam em livros...

O projeto: "As salas que se transformam" do Colégio Anglo-Americano atrai pais, amigos e parentes daqueles alunos que participam do projeto todos os anos. Cada sala se transforma em um livro, com cenário e estória em português ou em inglês. Os professores da Educação Infantil só comprovam o que já sabemos: são criativos ao extremo!
