2. PRESENTATION
Chemistry and Physics Teacher
eTwinner since 2007
What is eT for me?
A breath of fresh air the classroom (diferent learning methods,
ICT, English, other cultures, …)
How do I use it?
Match the curriculum
CLIL strategy
Cooperative activities between countries
Real applications

CLIL Methodology
eTwinning gives me the chance to introduce CLIL in my classes
During the projects, 1 out of 3 of my classes are in English
Not an English teacher, but I prepare different types of activities
in order to cope the main skills of the language:
reading comprehension (e.g. activities announcements)
listening (e.g. personal presentation videos)
writing (e.g. reports)
speaking (e.g. videoconferences)
