Introduction

School and context

Institut Ramon Barbat is a Secondary School located in Vila-seca (Tarragonès). In the school ESO, BAT, two CFGM  (Marketing and Heating and cooling installations) and one CFGS  (Heating and cooling installations) are taught.

There are around 600 students that come from the five primary schools in the city.

We teach English as a main foreign language and German as second and optional language.

This year is the first time our students are learning non-linguistic subjects in English. When I told them we were going to work some topics in foreign language they were astonished, specially the 2n ESO students.

After the inicial surprise they worked properly, and they have been able to learn and to produce written and spoken outputs.
