Our American language assistant Verónica, and British Sonia Taylor, assistant at IES Sánchez Lastra, were the protagonists and true souls of this special day, full of activities that gave the students the opportunity to compare British and American language and culture.
After a Welcome Talk, we shared a hilarious masterclass in which the assistants brushed up on our knowledge of geography, history, food, sports, festivals and much more ... with a small competition at the end :-)
Then, we moved on to the different workshops where students could explore British/American maps, deconstruct stereotypes, learn vocabulary differences in meaning and spelling, compare accents and enjoy a small exhibition of realia from the USA and the UK.
After that, it was the time for music: Sonia and Vero taught the students from different groups how to dance a choreography for an American and a British song. They which later performed in front of their mates, making everybody laugh and have a good time.
And last but not least... we had a potluck party where we could taste the delicious American and British dishes that our students and their families had cooked, following the recipes given by their English teachers. Thank you all for your collaboration, everything was so tasty!
All in all, a great day to remember.
