Project-based English for high school in Barcelona

Follow-up

Parents/guardians receive a written report at the end of the first and third quarters on the student’s progress and behavior.

During the second quarter they are invited to an individual meeting with the teacher, face-to-face or online.

Dynamic classes, where the student ceases to be a passive subject and takes responsibility for his or her own learning.

Project-based English courses with innovative methodology

At FunTalk we adopt this innovative methodology by introducing English groups for high school students that are based on project-based learning. A practical and dynamic course that helps students to deal confidently with real-life situations in English.

Our students are delighted with the projects! Here’s why you should choose FunTalk if you are looking for project-based English groups for high school students.
Learning English through projects in secondary school, also known as PBL, is an entertaining, stimulating and educational practice with the added incentive of outings with the students in the neighborhood and in Barcelona to learn first-hand the guidelines of the project they will have to carry out and how it relates to their reality and context.

In this way, high school English students fully absorb the situation of the project making them more involved in learning and developing the communicative aspects in a natural and intrinsic way.

All about FunTalk’s project-based English classes

Project-based learning is very advantageous in any educational setting and English is no exception.

The main advantage is that it increases students’ motivation because they immediately see the result of their progress: they see that they understand the context of the project in English, that they can make themselves understood in English, they get things done even when communicating in English, etc. In short, the language is put into practice immediately.

Another advantage is that classes are much more dynamic than when using a classic teaching methodology, where the teacher leads the class by giving explanations and the students are often mere receivers of information.

In the English project groups for secondary school, students are no longer passive subjects but become fundamental elements of the classes in which they actively participate.

This active participation makes students more responsible for their own learning, makes them take it more seriously, and makes it easier for them to continue learning on their own when they leave English classes, without the need for outside help.

Why choose our project-based English course for high school students?

At FunTalk we profess the implementation of innovative methodologies in all our language courses. For us it is not the novelty, but the norm, to use new technologies, e-learning, arts and crafts or art in our English classes.

Teachers of this innovative course must be prepared to change their role in the classroom from being the subject matter experts to becoming the coordinators or mediators of change in the methodology of the project-based English course for high school students.

They go from telling students what to do, to helping them make decisions, to see things from a different perspective and to make them think critically and resolutely.

Our FunTalk teaching staff has adapted perfectly to this change! In addition, they are happy to provide the high school students in the project-based English group with English language skills and guidance (from their own experiences) in solving practical problems.

As if this were not enough, at FunTalk we take advantage of the reality of the neighborhood and of Barcelona to make the students identify with the projects presented. Thus, they become more involved in the learning process, making communication in English more natural and fluent.

In short, they will learn English, lose their fear of communicating in the language and gain useful experiences for the future. Don’t wait until the project-based English group for high school students is sold out!
