Escola Santa Teresa de Jes\u00fas, in Vilanova, has been in the Programa Auxiliars de Conversa since the beginning. They have hosted Conversation Assistants for five years now! This year, they are hosting Adam, who comes from Ireland.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Adam and her tutor have written to us to tell us what their experience with the program is like so far. Thank you, Adam and Roser!<\/span><\/p>\n

Per cinqu\u00e8 any consecutiu, ha estat un plaer acollir un auxiliar de conversa a la nostra escola. Enguany tenim la sort de comptar amb l\u2019Adam, que des del principi s\u2019ha adaptat molt r\u00e0pid a la din\u00e0mica de l\u2019escola i s\u2019ha integrat a la comunitat educativa com un m\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

A m\u00e9s a m\u00e9s, ens ha acostat a la cultura irlandesa i ens ha fet part\u00edcips de les seves costums i tradicions, creant materials de presentaci\u00f3 enfocats als alumnes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Comparteix temps i espai tant amb alumnes de prim\u00e0ria, secund\u00e0ria com de cicles formatius. \u00c9s una persona polivalent, creativa i de f\u00e0cil adaptaci\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Una de les activitats que destacaria \u00e9s la realitzada amb els alumnes de 1er d\u2019ESO. A classe est\u00e0vem treballant la interrogaci\u00f3, aix\u00ed que els alumnes es van posar a la pell d\u2019un periodista i van preparar una entrevista per al nostre auxiliar, l\u2019Adam<\/strong>. Molt amablement ell va contestar a totes dels preguntes dels 5 grups, que van enregistrar amb els seus m\u00f2bils per posteriorment transcriure\u2019n el contingut. Als alumnes els va agradar molt aquesta activitat, ja que van poder palpar la utilitat real d\u2019un contingut treballat a classe.<\/p>\n

L\u2019Adam tamb\u00e9 participa en activitats m\u00e9s l\u00fadiques de l\u2019escola<\/strong>, com el Carnaval, que ara estem preparant intensament, i altres sortides i excursions.<\/p>\n

Estem molt contents de l\u2019experi\u00e8ncia viscuda fins ara, i continuem treballant amb il\u00b7lusi\u00f3 per tirar endavant aquest projecte com\u00fa.<\/p>\n

\"Adam_Vilanova\"<\/a>I have only just finished moving house for the second half of my stay here in Vilanova i la Geltru, and I can\u2019t believe how fast the first part has finished. Time really does fly when you\u2019re having fun! I am working in a lovely school that is quite literally dead in the centre of the town (And the town is quite big!). Every week I have the opportunity to teach groups from First Primaria (6 Years old) right through to commerce and Administration students in cicles formatius preparing to enter the workforce. It\u2019s certainly an eye-opener<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0There are too many good things about Escola-Col.legi Santa Teresa to recount in a blog piece, but some of the highlights include the enduring popularity which many students afford to me as a Language Assistant, the ever-welcoming attitude of the teaching and administrative staff, as well as the occasional excursions<\/strong> we make to Places like Montserrat and the Nou Camp. On the latter of the three, the best of these has been the opportunity to work with a group of Sixth Primary students that represented the School on the Catalan TV English-Language game show \u201cFish & Chips\u201d<\/strong>. It was a really great responsibility to be given. Of course we work on lots of other innovative English ideas with classes as well, such as collaborative writing with other Schools, and cultural presentations.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Other teachers treat me as an equal, and I\u2019ve been able to participate in lots of really fun things, such as \u201cTeachers Day\u201d, the annual Christmas teachers dinner<\/strong> and a teachers night at the restaurant for the School Founder\u2019s Saint\u2019s Day. When I\u2019m not helping students with their English, my colleagues are more than happy to help me with my Catalan. The same can be said for my host families<\/strong>, the last of whom also gave me an amazing introduction to their town. I now wave to people on the street like one of the locals!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Vilanova, like many towns in Catalonia, is opportunely placed for travelling to Spain for weekends, and I\u2019ve already been to Madrid twice! People in the School community are never shy to share their tips for travel in and beyond the region! In an all-round manner, whether in Teaching, Language, Culture or travel, the programme has been a fantastic experience to date<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n
