COLOMBIA BILINGÜE PROJECT

Giving response to the questions given by Norbella, I think that this could be possible while the governors really know what a biligual country means. They are exposing all the needs and troubles aour students would have if they are not well qualified to use another language (English in this case) , but they don´t recognize all the things envolving the aspect of speak and also think in other language. As we discuse during the class, schools need more resourses and more well prepared teacher to get the challenge. Although, I notice that people is working very hard in order to develope this project, all the teachers have to be engaged with their roles in this process, and may offer alternatives and resourses to students and teachers who really want to learnEnglish a s a second language.

According to the second question, I think it´s possible to reach the National Standard, but It won´t be so fast.We need to build new plans , all of them appropiate for our students needs and interests.And remember that the porjects have an experimental part, we starting with it, so we ought to wait for the results and apply the best methodologies and technics that really works in our students. We can denie that learning is related to environment and culture.

To help our students to reach a higher level of proficiency should reflect about the lesson plans we are applying in our schools,also, we need to improve our awn level . There are a lot of coleagues that don´t have enough experience using English in particular situations(they aren´t competent). As a conclusion, we havwe to create the methods, thecnics or tools to make our students love English and make them find how useful learning a second language could be.

Hi Sandra,
I agree with you: it's possible to reach the objectives of the project, but we need time, resources and hard work. Just as you, I think that what each of us, English teachers, does is paramount. Inside the classroom to decide on methods, srategies, topics that address students' needs and wants, and outside the classroom, to continue growing professionally.
Warm regards,
Norbella
