The Story of Malala

Here you can listen to the story of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl who challenged Taliban regime and took action in favour of girls´ education.

Collaborative learning

Collaborative learning is a teaching style that has evolved over the last thirty years and is still evolving. We support a teacher network that shares resources either to be used as they are, or tweaked a little to suit different classrooms or to be an inspiration/a template to develop new resources that we hope you will in turn share with us.

We have three aims:

First to develop resources that empower learners by encouraging them to work with every other learner in the class in a playful, but purposeful, way.

Second to make complex ideas accessible by presenting them in concrete, visual and tactile ways.

Third to encourage exploratory talk in the classroom.

Presentation

This blog is conceived as a tool to practise critical methodologies and strategies for the students of the Máster del Profesorado especialidad Inglés 2014-2015 at the University of Burgos.

It has an open structure and it will be designed as the course develops according to the students' assembly decisions.

Malala, the youngest Nobel Prize ever, has been chosen as a main topic to work on. Departing from her personal experience and testimony, new entries, subjects and classroom activities will be uploaded and the students will act both as teachers and students to try to make it a useful and lively tool.

Good luck with this new project! There we go!
