So what happened during the workshop at Braztesol Caxias do Sul?
First of all, I'd like to thank International School for sponsoring my talk. Although I'm not part of their staff any more, I still collaborate with them on certain projects as an independent consultant.
As some of you might know, in the last 2 years I have worked educating teachers who have started working with Bilingual Education in Brazil, so my objective with the workshop was to share a bit of what I've been studying about the development of contemporary competencies and to show how we can use Lego Bricks in Bilingual Education classes.
We started with two activities which aimed to help participants discover and discuss about the differences between the Bilingual Education concept and EFL. Then, we discussed about Bilingual Education and the need to develop contemporary competencies. Lego® came as a tool which can help the development of such competencies in a playful way. Concepts such as Playful Learning and Hands-on Learning also came into the picture. Participants had the chance to work in groups from the start, discussing, sharing ideas and building reflective scenarios with Lego® bricks.
These were my resources:
