Las cuatro semanas en la DCU me han servido para muchas cosas, desde aprender inglés (he de reconocer que los profesores que he tenido - Eoin, Faye, Gemma y Liam - han sido todos y cada uno de ellos excelentes), revisar los conceptos fundamentales de la metodología CLIL, conocer un poco la cultura e historia de Irlanda y, sobre todo, compartir con el grupo de Valencian Teachers cuatro semanas fantásticas, de "muy buen rollo".
Aunque la experiencia ha sido inolvidable, espero que este blog sirva para recoger en imágenes todo lo vivido durante este período, desde el 25 de julio hasta el 22 de agosto de 2018, y que así el recuerdo perviva también en imágenes.
After having applied for a grant last summer, although unsuccessfully, this year I finally got the chance to spend a whole month in Dublin to improve my English. The stay was part of a teacher training programme supported by the Generalitat Valenciana. And I must admit that the whole experience could not have been better: Dublin and the rest of Ireland are, simply, unforgettable.
The four weeks I spent in the Dublin City University (DCU) helped me in many ways. First, I could learn English with excellent teachers (Eoin, Faye, Gemma and Liam), I revised the principles and teaching strategies that the so-called CLIL methodologies involve, I could improve my knowledge of Irish history and culture, and most importantly, sharing these four weeks with colleagues from other Valencian high schools was an amazing, profitable and lovely experience.
Unforgettable as this month was, I hope this blog could serve to describe what we lived throughout these four weeks, from the 25th of July until the 22nd of August 2018, and I honestly expect this collection of pictures could help remember the wonderful sights we enjoyed and the charming feelings we all experienced. I am pretty sure that Ireland will remain in our hearts for the rest of our lives.
