Year: 2012
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Study focused on how teachers come together to increase Oral Skills in their students in the \ncontext of a bilingual state school, developing different techniques and strategies, with special \nemphasis on the Oral Presentation works at the final stage of the Primary Education. In the last \nten years of this programme, a great systematization has taken place to help new teachers \nwho might join this innovative project. It involves a special philosophy in teachers, which is \nbased on consultation and collaboration. Teachers are open to use new methodologies and to \nconsider theories such as the cognitive apprenticeship or the importance of learning in a social \ncontext. Results have shown a sufficient evidence of a significant change in children who \nbenefit from a bilingual education with a very distinct approach from the traditional focus of \nlearning English as a second language. Likewise, the enrolment demand of the school has \nincreased considerably in the past ten years due to its attainments in a bilingual education in \nthe referred school, aspect considered to be very positive by the parents.
