Number of people reached by event:

14

Held in:

Gijón, Spain

Outcomes and Results:

Most teachers in this new group work for vocational training and found the material in the ELS platform very useful for their own students. They used the platform with their students in an ICT classroom and also as part of autonomous learning as most of them are adults.
On the other hand, teachers who work for state language schools praised the possibility of encouraging the use of the platform with adults between 18 and 30 years old, in the courses held under the agreement between EEOOII and the Spanish Ministry of Education. However, the language teachers who work for secondary schools found the material a bit difficult for secondary students, so they used the basic level and chose the easiest units for lower secondary schools.
These teachers say that the students would like to have their certificates of having used the ELS Platform and they are willing to have an answer as whether they will have them or not.
We handed out the questionnaires to evaluate the ELS Platform and they have until the 15 June to email them to the Teacher Training Centre Gijón. We will write a report based on the evaluation questionnaires for 30th September.
