[ Notes | Noticeboards | Chat | Extras | Pedagogical Guide ]

This project is in three parts which build up into an online English school with the following parts:

  • Classrooms - where you will find teaching material at two levels
  • An Office - with general information on the school, special announcements, etc.
  • A Library - containing links to other useful resources on the Internet, reference material and extra-curricular activities
  • A Cafe - where students can realx, play games and chat, rad magazines and contribute to the online magazine themselves
  • A Teachers' Room - where teachers can relax and talk to each other about the course and its implementation in their schools

Part one of the project went live in February 2000, and involved a testing period for the teaching material in Level 2. At the end of May 2000, the elements of the online English school were put in place, and these were joined by the Level 3 course at the end of August 2000.

The project was made available in all schools in Catalonia from the beginning of September 2000. A further level - Level 1 - was added in January 2002. If you have any queries concerning this project, please contact us at the address at the bottom of the page.
