Estem molt contents de presentar oficialment els nostres auxiliars de conversa, que ens acompanyen a l’escola des del mes d’octubre. Enguany tenim la sort de comptar amb quatre auxiliars, un recurs extraordinari que permet reforçar de manera significativa la immersió en llengua anglesa del nostre alumnat.

La seva presència a les aules aporta un gran valor afegit: ajuden a crear situacions reals de comunicació, ofereixen models lingüístics autèntics i proporcionen estratègies i recursos que afavoreixen una expressió oral més natural, fluida i segura. Gràcies a això, els nostres estudiants tenen més oportunitats de practicar l’anglès d’una manera dinàmica i significativa.

Volem agrair també la seva bona disposició i capacitat d’adaptació. Aquest any, malgrat no haver pogut comptar amb les famílies necessàries per acollir-los, els auxiliars han demostrat una gran professionalitat i entusiasme en la seva tasca diària.

Aquest any comptem amb 4 auxiliars que compaginen les seves tasques com a auxiliars lingüístics en les classes de llengua anglesa “speaking assistant” a Batxillerat, ESO i Primària, amb les hores AICLE (Aprenentatge integrat de Continguts i Llengües Estrangeres) d’E.F. i psicomotricitat, música, Natural Science, robòtica, etc.

Per una altra banda, comptem amb la presència a l'etapa d'Infantil de 3 Tècniques d'Educació Infantil amb competència oral d'anglès, que faran les tasques d'auxiliar de conversa amb els infants, i seran el seu referent en anglès a l'aula.

Let me introduce you to…

  • Milo Anderson de United Kingdom, per Batxillerat i ESO.
  • Brenna Murphy dels Estats Units, per Batxillerat i ESO
  • Aidan Luma dels Estats Units per Primària i PFI.
  • Anna Jarret dels Estats Units, per primària i AICLE ( EF)
  • Grego Fdez  a I3
  • Adela Errasti a I4
  • Tao Alba a I5

We wish them the best stay with us!

Hello everyone! My name is Aidan and I’m from the US. This is my 3rd year working at Escola Pia Balmes. I work as a language assistant in Primary. I teach English to the 3rA class and I also teach PFI English as well. Everyday, I help build the students confidence with language skills. It is amazing being able to share my native language with the kids at the this school.

Hi! My name is Brenna and I’m from California. I’ve been living in Spain for two years, and this is my first year at Escola Pia Balmes. I like working in secondary because with older students I can practice more advanced language and also be more creative with designing the games and activities we use. I love getting to know the students and sharing our interests.

Hi! I’m Milo, and this is my second year at Escola Pia Balmes as a language assistant. I’m originally from London, UK, and I’ve recently graduated from Durham University, where I studied Electronics Engineering. I teach the BATX advanced English classes, and assist in 4 ESO, where I run activities aimed at improving the students’ English speaking confidence and fluency. I also assist in ESO natural sciences classes, and even chorale for 3/4 Primaria! I’m very happy to be back and looking forward to the rest of the year.


Hi everyone! My name is Anna and I am from the United States. This is my first year at Escola Pia Balmes but my third year being a language assistant. I help out with all levels of primary in classes such as English and Physical Education. I am so excited to be here and ready for the rest of the school year!

Grego Fdez  a I3

Hello! My name is Grego, I'm from Barcelona, and I've been working at Escola Pia Balmes since 2007. As a Child Specialist Technician, I collaborate with the tutors and accompany the little girls and boys in their day, their routines and habits, the game and everything that happens inside the classroom.

Since this course, I am especially excited to be able to enrich my work with a new goal: to experience English as another language in the classroom. For children, it means learning to communicate with a real person, close and present in their day-to-day life, facilitating learning. For me, getting to know the project and knowing how important it is for English to be taught day after day, gives a new dimension to my work as a classroom assistant.


Adela Errasti a I4

hello! I'm Adela, I previously held the position of the director's  secretary. Since my family situation changed, the school very kindly offered me the possibility of making a change of duties by offering me to participate as an English assistant in i4 classes. This is turning out to be a very nice experience, thanks to the students and the teachers, in which I see the every day necessity of being a better person cause we are in contact with what is most important, which are the children, their needs, concerns and helping them to develop the most positively way their personalities.


Tao Alba a I5

Hello!

My name is Tao and I will be your English assistant during this year. I am thrilled to help kids in their knowledge process!  I am delighted to be a part of this amazing team. Until June I will be working  with my colleagues to prepare engaging activities and immersing students in English. I’ll also be preparing psychomotor lessons and I’ll be assisting the teachers with SUMMEM and Jordi with English classes.

I have started doing all kinds of activities with the students including things such as : singing songs, working on daily routines and habits and also playing lively recess games and  board games. These games are a useful teaching resource. This is a fun way to allow the students to learn English vocabulary, develop  motivation and have fun.

My role is to offer guidance and assistance, as well as helping  children grow  in confidence with speaking and  

listening skills. I also get to answer any questions pupils may have during their learning process

I wish my students an excellent school year!
