Presentation
Learning a language is more than memorizing words and structures, it’s
also getting to know a new culture, people’s beliefs, their habits and traditions.
This global awareness is the main road to make kids learn values such as:
respect, love and understanding.
In the project Celebrations Around the World, students became aware
that people around the globe has different traditions and different ways of
celebrating the same festival.
We started off by asking questions about our own celebrations. “When
is Carnival celebrated? What do people do? What do people wear? Where do
people go? And what do people eat?” Students were acquiring new
language structures while talking about their own culture.
Then we moved on to other cultures and watched some videos about
different traditions, one of them was La Tomatina, in Spain. At this point,
students understood that people from abroad do different things from us.
These activities were aimed to develop students’ listening comprehension
and to broaden their linguistic repertoire.
What do people wear? Well, there are different clothes for different
occasions, and we should know that, so let’s talk about them. Students discussed
what people should wear in a wedding, in a birthday party and in other occasions
too and they also had the chance to be models in our ECCOS Fashion Week.
After researching, discussing and analyzing students made a presentation
about a celebration and told us everything we needed to learn about it.
We are happy to show here in this book the result of a work that took us to
different parts of the world and made us aware of our own culture and
that we can learn a lot about other cultures too.
Have fun!
