Bilingual program or not bilingual program?

Hi everyone!

As you know, today we have been filling a kind of questionnaire related to the bilingual program in which we are learning in the CUCC. For that reason I want to share some of my opinions and reflections about it.

I have to say that I’m really glad of choosing the bilingual program. I think it is a decision I will never regret for several reasons. The first one can be how much I have improve my English along these four years, of course, I have to work a lot with my English yet. But I would say that my fluency, my ability to communicate, my listening, my vocabulary, my grammar… everything it is a bit better. I think this is very important because when we were in school or high school, they were more focused on teaching us grammar or writing but we worked very little the speaking, communicative activities. I can remember just a few activities in which we worked these aspects.

Another reason why I would choose this program again is because of the CLIL approach. I think this approach was new for most of us and I consider it is a good way to make us understand how it works by learning with it as we have been doing. I realized we were learning with CLIL when we were in second year and we talked about the characteristics of this approach. For me CLIL, well applied and put it into practice in the correct way, is the best way of learning. Students are more involved, the learning process is more meaningful for them due to that integrate culture, they participate in a more active way, they feel like they really are the protagonists, they should feel more comfortable and confident because the multiple intelligences are taken into account and for that reason each student will have its moment. These are just some of the positive things that in my opinion CLIL includes.

Besides, eventhough at the beginning we were a bit worried because we thought we were going to learn less contents than the other groups, we have realized that we have learnt or improve something more important, that are our abilities and capacities.

For all these reasons, I think if I would have to choose again I will choose the same program.
