Bosnia: Two Schools Under One Roof Find out about the ‘Two Schools Under One Roof’ scheme, pioneered after the end of the Bosnian War Age range:7-11 Connecting Classrooms themes:Conflict and Peace / Rights and Responsibilities Curriculum links: Geography, PSHE, Citizenship Nada, 13, and Mina, 12, go to different schools with different head teachers in Keseljac, Bosnia Herzegovina. But the two schools are in the same building. This is known as ‘Two Schools Under One Roof’. But after so many years, it's keeping them apart. Most of the Bosnian Muslim pupils here - like Nada - want the two schools to merge. Bosnian courts have ruled that separating the children is wrong because they aren't being treated equally. About 50 miles away, Lelja and Gordana go to Konjic First School. It used to be ‘two schools under one roof’, divided by a glass wall, but just after Lelja started the two halves joined up. Now there’s one head teacher and staff. Almost all the children take the Bosnian classes, like Lelja in Year 8.

Glosario básico inglés-español para usuarios de Internet - Cuarta edición Índice de contenido Prólogo de M. Carmen Ugarte García Un paso más hacia adelante, otra etapa de ese camino que Rafael Fernández Calvo comenzó hace ya siete años largos con unas docenas de palabras reunidas en un artículo para una monografía, sobre la entonces poco conocida Internet, que apareció en Novática nº 110 (julio-agosto de 1994). En aquel verano, Internet era todavía más una posibilidad que entreveían algunos especialistas y entusiastas que una realidad a la que iban a tener acceso todos los ciudadanos; sin embargo, su vocabulario ya presentaba ciertas dificultades y se comenzaban a manejar términos y siglas que luego se harían tremendamente populares como "WWW" y "web" y para los que Rafael se atrevía a dar un equivalente en castellano: "malla". Pero no nos adelantemos a los acontecimientos y volvamos a aquellos primeros balbuceos. ... "Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar". Saludo del Presidente de ATI Apreciadas lectoras, apreciados lectores: Un cordial saludo, Español

KanTalk - Community for Language Learners Flashcards | free printable flashcards, matching worksheets, printable bingo cards, printable games, activities, handouts and more There are 100+ sets of that I used to design curriculums for children ages 3-9 and 6-10. However, I use most of them up through to high school students and many with adults. See the left-hand menu for the current list of sets available. READ ME FIRST: These cards are excellent image quality and as such some of the files are quite large (1mb~4mb.) I suggest looking at the hand out first. If the material is something you'd like to put together, then take a look at the other files. About the flash card sets: There are some multilingual handouts in French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Russian, and Portuguese for teachers of other foreign languages. The pictures were all put together with children in mind. The printable flash cards and game cards do not have the vocabulary written on them. large flash cards do include articles at times. PowerPoint Flashcards and PowerPoint Presentations for teachers : These contain text in each slide. The power of bingo: I use the printable bingo cards
