26th September: Celebrating Languages, Celebrating Europe!
We celebrate the European Day of Languages on the 26th of September. It is a day dedicated to promoting language learning, cultural diversity and communication between people from different countries.
Our students took part in a range of fun and creative activities. 1º ESO students designed colourful football shirts representing different European countries, using their flags and languages. By writing the message “We are the best” in different European languages, they learnt that the same idea can be expressed in many different ways.
Meanwhile, the rest of the ESO students explored the fascinating world of the English language. They worked with English idioms and discovered some of the differences between British and American English, from vocabulary and expressions to everyday usage.
These activities showed our students that learning a language is not only about grammar and vocabulary. It is also about discovering new cultures and understanding different ways of communicating. Speaking different languages will allow them to travel, to work abroad, to become citizens of the world.
