CONTEXT

The school that we choose for our project is situated in Ibarra. It is a small town which has approximately 4500 habitants and the Basque is the main language in this town. Generally there is a middle socio-economic level. The name of the school is Uzturpe ikastola, to this school go child between two to sixteen years old. This school works with Urtxintxa project and they start learning English when the children are 4 years old.

Our students are five years old. They started learning English last year, so we know what they know and the behaviour of the children. We are going to be only English teachers, in this way the children could connect a language with a person. This project is going to start in the second trimester of the year. The relation between family and school isn´t very close, but they are there when somebody need them. Also they organize meetings with parents every trimmest to speak about their child development.
