Erasmus Plus Spain, Slovakia and France

Colegio Asuncion Vallecas organised this mobility. When The Slovak and French arrived, we went on our first visit of the city of Madrid: El Parque del Retiro. Each morning, the Spanish members of the project greeted the Slovak and French with a presentation of the events of the day. The first day, the Spanish students showed them around their school. Each morning was dedicated to the observation of foreign language classes (with an observation grid), interviews with students and foreign language teachers. Students were also trained to go through the interviews and surveys. We then entered all of the data collected in France and in Spain on computers, and began to determine the criteria of analysis in groups of three students (one from each country). Each afternoon we went on cultural visits prepared by the Spanish students.

Sunday and Monday We arrived in Lyon on Sunday. We had dinner all together (Spanish, Slovak and French people). It was the first time we met and it was really interesting but nobody was brave enough    to taste the “quenelle” (a local speciality: a sort of dumpling)... On Monday morning we came to school where the French students showed us around and the Spanish students presented their country and the city of Madrid. Then we had three language classes in the different groups. In this school English, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian and Chinese are taught. We had to observe the classes and to fill in the observation grid. It was not so easy to observe the classes of foreign languages we don’t speak or study. We enjoyed the English lessons the most because we understood them best. This school system is similar to ours. We also visited a kindergarten, and it was amazing because all the children understood a lot of foreign languages and the teacher was very funny. It
