Introduction

Welcome to our blog, we are Paula, Edu, Jimena and Alejandra, four teachers who teach foreign language in a Primary School. 


After several years of teaching, we have been developing different strategies that have helped us to keep our students motivated when learning a foreign language. These strategies are: metacognitive, affective, cognitive, social, compensatory and grammatical. 


Our main goal is to empower teachers with these resources so that they can enrich themselves and foster growth in their students.


Join us on an adventure and let's discover new strategies. 

"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world" (N. Mandela).


Welcome!
