Spanish 1: Life in another Country

This project aimed to use collaborative learning to help develop learners’ oral language skills. The project explored how emerging technologies such as podcasting and skype could be used to create real life scenarios and learning communities.

This project focussed on the following TESEP principles:

  • encouraging learning to be as active as possible
  • personalising learning
  • encouraging social and collaborative learning
  • ensuring regular feedback and self-diagnosis
  • using technology effectively to enhance learning.

Alicia describes what she wanted to achieve in her project.
