The project "New Learners, New Methodologies" is a two years' project and it's created because of our students' needs to improve their language skills and their Key Competence.
Reading and listening are not only essential to the learning of a language, but to understand all the subjects. It's just the same with writing and speaking.
Consequently, we will work to improve these skills and Key Competences,fostering our students' motivation, trying to improve the results; and paying attention to different learning styles.

We will learn theory about new methodolgies and we will go job shadowing to different countries in order to observe examples of Good Practives and to implement them at our school .
