The main objective is that the Colegio Berrio-Otxoa deepens its European and international dimension . Another objective is that foreign language teachers or others acquire technological skills and new teaching methods and ideas, through additional training in other European countries. In addition, we seek to consolidate and expand contacts with partners abroad through the observation of classes in partner institutions abroad to guarantee international work at the school.
The Berrio-Otxoa School has made a firm commitment to new technologies and also wants to promote multilingualism by betting on reinforcing the teaching of English. Although an enormous effort has been made in the training of teachers in the technological field, it has been more of a technical approach than a pedagogical one and a need has been detected for learning technologies more directed at the didactic level. The language aspect is proving to be more costly than desired, moreover, and despite the long history of European projects, there is little involvement of teachers when taking part in this type of initiative. In the long term, the Colegio Berrio-Otxoa aspires to be certified as a center of reference in terms of student mobility in the environment in which it is located. However, this requires the cooperation of as many teachers as possible. In general terms, we want to be leaders in language teaching and learning through projects linked to new technologies and for this we see it essential to enrich our methodology by taking other European centers as a reference and expand our network of contacts for future mobility of students and teachers.
