Hope you like and enjoy our unit

Hello to everyone!  We are a group of four members that are studying in the University of La Laguna, Tenerife. Our names are Víctor, Alois, Jessica and Juan Pedro and we are studying to be an English Teacher. For this reason, we have created this Blog 'English for Kids' so that we can publish our work.

The main idea is to focus on the education of English as a second language using TICS. We want to show how important this tool can be to motivate children and acquire English Learning in a different way. Internet offers a lot of information about everything and that's why our children have to adapt themselves to the new society and be educated in a sensible way so that they can manage to develop the Digital Key Competence.

We want to share with all of you our English Unit : In Space. Our goal is to work astronomy with children in a didactic way to encourage them to work with the new technologies to solve homeworks or problems and learn at the same time.

If you want to help or if you need any tools, don´t doubt contacting with us. Any advice or suggestion will be accepted in any case.

Thank you very much
