IDIOMA+EXTRANJERO+(INGLÉS)

Did you know that some of our students are working very hard practicing somedays in the afternoons to prepare a theater play? They are students from Primary Section (4Th ad 5Th grades) and from 11TH and 10Th grde in High School. It's a very funny and ludic way to practice your English and to meet more friends. Actually, there are 2 plays: They depend on the students interests and levels, in primary section, of course, they are preparing a children's performance. In the other hand, High School is working on a teenagers-adults presentation. What do you think about it? Would you like to be part of this in the future?

 * Today more than ever it is essential to learn the English language. Every day is used more in almost all the areas of the human knowledge and development. It practically can affirm that one is the language of the present world. It is, in the era of the globalization, great international language, one “lingua frank” that has repelled in all the countries not-Anglo-Saxons, including Spain, and that more or less directly affects to the diverse fields and professions. Its possession no longer can treat like a luxury, but that is an evident necessity. It is more, even says since who does not dominate that language would be in a clear situation of disadvantage: it would be as if he was dumb or average illiterate. And the reasons exceed to say it. The pretension of this document is, then, the one to make see these reasons and awareness to the youth and its families of the enormous importance of acquiring this language.**
 * In the first place, one is the tool that allows the communication with people of other countries, within the globalized world in which we lived. He is unquestionable: the English has become the global language of communication par excellence, one of those of greater use in the world. It is official language, or it has a special status, in about 75 territories anywhere in the world.**

¿Nosotros bilingües? Como muchos de ustedes habrán podido “sentir”, en este hermoso año 2010 nos agregaron una unidad más de Ingles a nuestros horarios. Es decir, que si antes teníamos solo dos unidades de Ingles a la semana, ahora tenemos tres. Igual paso con los chiquitines de primaria; a ellos también se les sumaron no una, sino dos unidades de Ingles. Ósea que ha este paso un pequeñín de grado quinto sabrá mas verbos en pasado que un alumno de grado 11º xd. Bueno; y detrás de estas decisiones que tomaron las directivas del colegio ¿para qué nos sirven 100 minuticos más de Ingles a la semana? ¿Que es lo que pretenden con esa unidad? Pues les cuento: después de una pequeña investigación que hice en el cole, me entere del motivo por el cual tenemos ingles hasta en la sopa. La sorpresa que me lleve cuando la profesora Heidy me aclaro que el motivo por el cual se agrego esa unidad es que el colegio pretende que en un par de añitos seamos nada y más nada menos que bilingües. En ese mismo momento en el que recibí esa noticia dos sensaciones pasaron por mi cabeza: alegría y lástima. Alegría porque es mi último año en el colegio Cafam y podré evitarme el tener que ir saludando a cada profe -¡//Hi teacher! ¡What`s up Mr. Hugo?// Y lástima por los estudiantes que tengan que pasar por una clase de trigonometría al puro estilo gringo. Pero bueno; ahora veámosle el lado positivo (que lo hay) al asunto. ¿Se imaginan ustedes todas las facilidades y ventajas que tendríamos en el ámbito laboral contando con la herramienta del ingles? A pesar de que el término poliglota me suene a mí y a muchos de ustedes algo “lejano” En mi opinión me parece una muy buena decisión por parte del cuerpo directivo del colegio Cafam. Y retirando lo dicho, me hubiera encantado que el bilingüismo se implementara antes para aprovechar esta oportunidad que en unos años estará brindando el colegio Cafam a sus próximas promociones. Me despido y les deseo suerte a los pequeñines que disfrutaran de las clases de trigo en ingles!

No more English for dummies This year Cafam school has introduced a special reinforcement to the Foreign Language Area, Cafam introduced one more English class unit during the week in all the grades, with the intention of improving the English level to B1 which is a requirement for the eleventh grade students since this year to be graduated in the official commencement ceremony. The B1 level means that you c an understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. You can deal with most situations likely to arise while travelling in an area where the English is spoken. You can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of your personal interest, and can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes & ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. Summarizing B1 English level gives you the opportunity to communicate effectively while traveling around the world. We, as students are aware of the importance of other languages in our lives, such as English; but we also have learned to like this kind of subjects, using them, not only inside the classroom but out of it. Young “modern” people are actually into music, art, movies and all kinds of things that involve English. It makes us more likely to learn and practice in and out of the school, improve our vocabulary and pronunciation in order to be successful in different social levels out of the country and being able to work with the knowledge we’ve got. Therefore, we are working to make English one of the central areas to use in our lives as professional and integral people.
