T&L Summer Break 2013

Teaching & Learning is going on a break for a couple of months.
It has been a year full of hard work and especially difficult in the end because it has been time to say goodbye to very important friends, colleagues, students, places and get ready to face new, hard and very different challenges.
Meanwhile, do enjoy your Summer to the fullest, forget about your worries and be happy!!!
See you soon. :-)

A glance @ "Are you up to date, my friend?"

Our 2013 eTwinning Project is now closed. It has been an incredible partnership all across Europe. Hav you already had a look at the Portuguese Team work? So, here you have one more chance! ETwinning is undoubtedly an incredible tool for ELT, student engaging and reaching high levels of intrinsic motivation. Maybe we'll have a new project next year...

Lights will guide you home...

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you...

The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes

The British flag is often called the “Union Jack
This is in fact a nautical term as a “jack” is a ship’s flag to show the ship’s nationality.
The British flag is the union of three flags in one, since it represents the crosses of the patron saints of EnglandScotland and Ireland.





The American flag is usually called the “Stars and Stripes

When the first thirteen colonies proclaimed their independence, they needed an emblem of their union. Congress decided that the flag of the United States would have thirteen alternative red and white stripes and a constellation of thirteen white stars on a blue background.
Every time a new state joined the Union, a new star was added on to the blue sky. Today, when you look at the American flag, you can still count the thirteen red and white stripes which represent the original thirteen states but you have fifty stars representing the fifty states belonging to the Union today. So the stripes represent the past and the stars represent the present.
