** ABOUT THE BRITISH COUNCIL **

The British Council is a program designed to provide children from 3 to 16 years a bilingual and bicultural education through a Spanish / English integrated curriculum, based on the Spanish curriculum and the national curriculum for England and Wales.




 * Encourage the acquisition and learning of both languages through an integrated curriculum based on contents.
 * Raise awareness of the diversity of the two cultures.
 * Facilitate the exchange of teachers and students.
 * Promote the use of new technologies in the learning of other languages.
 * Where appropriate, encourage certification of studies in both educational systems.

The approach is directed to the complete development of children, taking into account their physical, intellectual, emotional, social and moral development.

The purpose of this paper is to provide a working document for all English teachers who impart the integrated curriculum. Any change made in the Spanish curriculum will be introduced in this document. The tutor and English teacher must plan lessons together to ensure that the conce pts are taught and understood in both languages. It‟s important that the teacher of English and Spanish tutor understand the teacher program speaks in English with children, and it isn‟t necessary that the tutor translates or explains what he said.
