Quiénes somos
Welcome to the second edition of our magazine HOLA NEWS - ENGLISH & ESPAÑOL @ ECC!
Bienvenidos a la segunda edición de la Revista HOLA NEWS - ENGLISH & ESPAÑOL @ ECC!
The Foreign Languages team from Escola Comunitária de Campinas is happy to publish the 2nd edition of our magazine, in which different moments, events and accomplishments can be shared with our whole community. This edition is especially important to us as it is being released during the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of our school!
El equipo de profesores junto con la coordinación de Lenguas Extranjeras de la Escola Comunitária de Campinas se siente feliz en lanzar la 2ª edición de su revista, en la cual diferentes momentos, eventos y realizaciones podrán ser compartidos con nuestra comunidad. ¡Esta edición es para nosotros aún más especial, pues está siendo lanzada en el año de las conmemoraciones de los ¡40 años de nuestra escuela!
In this edition, we share significant moments experienced by our students from our courses/levels, from ‘Educação Infantil’ to ‘Ensino Médio’, in their English and Spanish lessons. We also took the opportunity to include brief descriptions of courses and conferences attended by our team of teachers, thus consolidating our aim of continuous studies of the languages and updating in relation to new approaches and tools for the teaching/learning of foreign languages. We have also described projects we developed, based on the themes proposed by UNESCO.
En esta edición, compartimos momentos significativos, vividos por nuestros alumnos en todos los segmentos, de la Educación Infantil a la Enseñanza Media, en las clases de inglés y español. También incluimos breves descriptivos sobre cursos y conferencias en que nuestro grupo de profesores ha participado, concretizando así nuestra meta de mantener un estudio continuo del idioma y de constante actualización en relación a los nuevos abordajes y herramientas para la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. Incluimos también proyectos desarrollados por el área, abordando los temas propuestos por la UNESCO.
Above all, this magazine has as its main objective to highlight the importance of the foreign languages teaching/learning at our school and around the world we live in. Our students need to maintain constant dialogue with the reality out there.
Más que todo, esta revista tiene como objetivo reforzar la importancia de la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras en nuestra escuela y para el mundo en que vivimos. Nuestros alumnos necesitan dialogar con la realidad que está ahí afuera.
As described in our Political Pedagogical Project, ‘the conception of human being proposed by Escola Comunitaria's educational system is to develop a thinking, active and ethical individual.’ Our task is to educate critical citizens, with the capabilities for an active and significant construction…. ‘construction that happens in the interaction with oneself, with others and with the object of knowledge, mediated by language’. Therefore, knowing modern foreign languages such as English and Spanish becomes essential and of utmost importance within this context. Still according to our PPP, ‘the contemporary world is complex; it is a globalized world that brings a revolution in the way we see space, time and cosmos. We face a world-scale scenario… New paradigms rule the information and communication society. Changes are deep, rapid and substantial. The speed and quality of scientific and technological achievements expand spaces, making them limitless, with no frontiers, enlarging and diversifying possibilities for different connections’. We invite you all to come aboard and get connected to our work. We hope you enjoy reading it! Foreign Languages Area Escola Comunitária de Campinas - ECC
Como descrito en nuestro Proyecto Político Pedagógico, ‘la concepción de ser humano que la educación de la Escola Comunitária tiene como propuesta es desarrollar el ser pensante, actuante, ético y ciudadano’. Nuestra tarea es formar ciudadanos críticos, con capacidad de construcción activa y significativa... ‘construcción que sucede en la interacción consigo mismo, con los otros y con el objeto del conocimiento, mediado por el lenguaje’. Por lo tanto, tener el comando de lenguas extranjeras modernas como el inglés y el español se torna esencial y extremadamente relevante dentro de ese contexto. Y, además, según nuestro PPP, ‘el mundo contemporáneo es complejo, es un mundo globalizado que trae una revolución en la visión de espacio, de tiempo, de cosmos. Estamos delante de un escenario en escala mundial.... Nuevos paradigmas rigen la sociedad de la información y de la comunicación. Los cambios son profundos, rápidos y sustanciales. La velocidad y la calidad de las conquistas científicas y tecnológicas amplían espacios, dejándolos sin límites, sin fronteras, expandiendo y diversificando las posibilidades de conexión’.

Writing assessment course Teacher Rita Noris (Fundamental 2) and Luciana Bitar (Ensino Médio) attended the São Paulo Open Center Academy Week Writing Assessment Workshop that happened in July. The workshop’s main focus was on the assessment of written work from levels B1, B2 and C1 from the Common European Framework, with emphasis on the Cambridge Exams. At ECC, students produce pieces of writing throughout the year and those are always carefully corrected and marked by the teachers. In Fundamental 2 and Ensino Médio, the pieces of writing are already very similar to the ones students will have to produce when taking the Cambridge Exams.

Our Projects / Nuestros Proyectos Get to know the world of mysteries 8.º ano – Ensino Fundamental 2 This project is based on stories of mystery and horror written by English language authors. Throughout the year, students carried out different activities related to the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, some individually, others in groups. Researches, presentations and assessment are also part of the process. To conclude this project, families were invited for a movie session with videos produced by students, based on the stories that were read.
Around the world 9.º ano – Ensino Fundamental 2 This project is based on the books read in 2017. The stories address the topic of “travelling” and students are encouraged to travel together to different countries. Enhancing students' understanding of different cultures and lifestyles was one of the projects main goals, as well as improving their reading comprehension. The four skills could be developed by reading the story, researching websites, preparing power point slides, presenting orally to the class, taking part of reading circles and doing written activities. In October, students presented the final product of this project: oral presentations about sustainable tourism and one more topic of their choice regarding places mentioned in the book. Here you can check some photos!

Our Projects / Nuestros Proyectos The World of Poems 2.ª Série - Ensino Médio
This project was developed to and by the students of the 2nd grade of high school.
The idea of the project was to motivate students into the world of poems. One of the main objectives was to enhance students' understanding of poems, as well as increase their linguistic and lexical resource. By understanding what makes a poem a poem and learning how to interpret it, students broaden their personal, social and cultural contexts. Poetry enables the reader to view the world in new alternative ways and from viewpoints other than their own. Being in touch with this form of literary art allows students to foster their higher order cognitive abilities, which involve creativity, critical thinking, logical reasoning and more. The project was carried out during the English classes, where students took part in different activities. As a final result of the project a website was developed and there the reader can understand more about the project, check some activities done throughout the project and read poems produced by the students.

On the very first week of class, students from the second grade of EC2 and EC3 classes had the chance to meet a foreign exchange student from Japan, Usako Kaneda. Usako is a fifteen-year-old Japanese student, who came to EFT3 Brazil to spend a year as an AFS foreign exchange student. Usako spent her year in Lauro de Freitas, Bahia and came to Campinas for a different cultural experience.

She was very well-impressed with our students and with the fact that they could all communicate very well in English. Students had a chance not only to interact with someone from a different culture, but also to hear about a very different perspective regarding education.

Thanks Fernanda!! We had a great time singing along with you. In the first semester, our project was about Prejudice. Our student Samuel from 5o A, did some research at home and brought it to class to share with his colleagues. We then jointly decided to invite his mom Luciene to talk about Martin Luther King. We watched a video and Luciene told the kids about his life. This was a great opportunity to enrich our project and broaden our knowledge about prejudice. Thanks Samuel and Luciene!

Our voice / Nuestra voz El año de 2017 fue declarado el Año Internacional del Turismo Sostenible para el Desarrollo por la UNESCO. Como escuela asociada de este tan renombrado órgano, en las clases de español de la enseñanza media, decidimos hacer un pequeño proyecto para contemplar este tema: los alumnos del primer año escribieron un artículo de opinión,
Texto de Isabela Giorgetti de Carvalho 1ª série – Ensino Médio
El turismo sostenible es una forma de turismo que sigue los principios de la sustentabilidad, siendo una industria comprometida a hacer un bajo impacto sobre el medio ambiente y la cultura local, además de generar empleo para la población lugareña. Esta forma de turismo tiene tres focos, siendo ellos la parte económica, aumentando la renta local y mejorando la calidad de vida de la población. La parte ambiental, que es utilizar la naturaleza de forma consciente para que estos recursos no acaben y la sociocultural, preservando así la cultura local y haciendo con que ella sea atractiva a los visitantes. Además, el turismo tiene muchas consecuencias positivas, y por esto, debe ser muy incentivada, considerando que esta actividad facilita la compresión de los impactos que genera el turismo
(que contribuye con un 9% del PIB mundial), asegura un adecuado equilibrio entre beneficios y costos, y también aumenta la rentabilidad de las industrias domésticas locales. Por lo tanto, se puede concluir que, actualmente este tipo de turismo es muy incentivado, pero solamente el 22% de las personas, según un estudio de la institución KVONI, consideran la sustentabilidad como uno de los tres principales factores que influyen en la reserva de las vacaciones, o sea, se debe cada vez más divulgar esta forma de turismo, para que así las consecuencias para el medio ambiente sean cada vez menores.

Líneas entre nosotros: Brasil y Costa Rica Carta de João Pedro Dias 9.º ano A – Ensino Fundamental 2
Se inició este año, en el ámbito del año del turismo sustentable (UNESCO), el cambio de correspondencias entre los 9º años y tres colegios de Costa Rica. Esta es la carta de João a Stefano, alumno de la West College, en Costa Rica. Campinas, 29 de septiembre de 2017. Estimado Stefano, Me parece bueno poder comunicarnos. Qué bueno que la escuela nos está dando esta oportunidad. Creo que será divertido conocer a una persona de otro país con una cultura diferente. Yo soy brasileño y nací en Campinas, me gusta mucho mi ciudad, tengo muchos amigos y me encanta jugar a los videojuegos. Brasil es un lugar hermoso, pero igual a todos países tiene sus problemas. Aquí suceden muchas cosas malas al medio ambiente, principalmente a la Selva Amazónica. Pero hay también lugares que practican el turismo sustentable, como por ejemplo en la región en la que vivo, Joaquim Egidio. Joaquim Egidio presenta algunas prácticas de turismo sustentable, además presenta una fuerte predominancia de la cultura brasileña rural, guarda la memoria de las haciendas de cultivo de caña de azúcar y café que antiguamente fueron predominantes en la economía brasileña. Hoy en día Joaquim Egidio tiene muchos comercios que preservan construcciones antiguas coloniales y senderos en bosques preservados de Mata Atlántica. Aquí en mi colegio aprendimos un poquito sobre tu país y lo imagino como un lugar maravilloso con mucho turismo sustentable y me gustaría que me contaras un poco más sobre eso. Saludos cariñosos desde Brasil, João Pedro Dias
