SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT

The teaching staff at the Secondary Education Centre Ramiro II have greatly commited to the success and proper functioning of the Bilingual Section, a project pushed forward by the Ministry of Education which is actually sparking strong social criticism, partly due to the lack of an appropriate teacher training programme on behalf of the members involved in it. The implication and motivation of the teaching staff are considered as fundamental elements showing their willingness to take part in active training so as to develop their task in the most efficient way possible.

Within this framework, we want to involve ourselves as fully as possible on the training of our teaching staff in order to give them the chance to acquire a greater insight into active teaching methodologies, such as periods of observation in other European Secondary Education Centres, as part of the European Development Teaching Programme actually running in our school. This kind of training will give our Bilingual Section teachers the opportunity to develop their communicative competence in English and to acquire, at the same time, new methodological guidelines and valuable experiences which will be put into practice and passed on to their educational community of origin.

Likewise, upgrade and update on the methodological strategies of the English Department are considered also crucial to meet the standards of the new Bilingual Programme. The combination of an appropriate training, and the proven involvement of our teachers in the Bilingual Section and those of the English Department on previous European Programmes, exemplifies that the success of a Bilingual Section lies in the possibility of taking part on this type of European Programmes which enrich teacher training and foster the students´motivation.

One of the anticipated impacts, vital for the development of our European Plan, is to establish and maintain trustworthy and real contacts with teachers from other European Secondary Education Centres which, in the meantime, set ground for future projects intended for our students who, in fact, are the main figures of the internationalisation process in our Centre.
