Project Summary

Related with the context, IES Consaburum is a compulsory secondary school, non-compulsory and vocational
training college (middle and higher degrees). It Is located in the town of Consuegra which despite of the fact that
it is a rural area it is also very well connected with urban centers endowed with more services such as Alcázar de
San Juan, Toledo or Madrid. The families of the area are mainly working in agricultural and livestock sector and in
activities linked with building constructions. At the present, and given the monumentality that characterizes
Consuegra, the activities of the tourism services sector are gaining strength, such as jobs in restaurants, hotels
and tourism management companies. Our school has 65 teachers and 785 students who come to study ESO
from the towns of Consuegra, Urda and Turleque. Before our application for this Erasmus+ project, the school
had very few initiatives of internationalization and multilingualism, and this fact damaged our image among the
rest of the educative community undoubtedly who were very concern about the English language learning since
Consuegra is such a touristic destination. We only had at that time an innovative project of bilingual education in
both English & Spanish languages that neither materialized in a official bilingual section provided by the
Castilla-La Mancha government nor in eTwinning or Erasmus + projects with students . Our teachers were poorly
trained in this matter and that made difficult for them to be involved in this kind of activities. That is why we felt
necessary to apply for a Erasmus+ key action 101 in order to attend training courses in the UK, Ireland and
France, both in a methodological and linguistic approach. Our aims were to provide the NLS teachers with the
CLIL methodological tools necessary to give some lessons in English language, training the linguistic subjects
teaching staff with new methodology that helps them to coordinate a bilingual project and provide the teaching
staff with methodological updating in new ways of teaching that encourage the students’ participation such as
project based learning and the incorporation of ICT tools in the classroom to name but a few. These aims and our
intention of applying for the KA101 Erasmus+ project were communicated to the CCP and the school council. The
participants were chosen among the teachers who had voluntarily expressed their interest in taking part in the
project and their willingness to collaborate filling in the application form, a process that took place during the
2013/2014 school year. We appointed a selection committee just in case that the demands exceeded the number
of mobilities that we planned to request. It was formed by the E+ Coordinator, the teacher training coordinator, the
headmaster and the secretary and the criteria for the selection of candidates were settled as well. We were 8
applicants initially (teachers of linguistic subjects, and teachers of non-linguistic subjects). Eventually our project
was granted with 6 mobilities but there was no problem in distributing them because two of the teachers who
initially applied for mobility were working out of our school at that time. We carried out teacher training courses
with the intention of reaching the aims drafted in the E+ project. The teachers involved belonged to several
departments such as counseling & career guidance department (which was the project coordinator), English
language, French language, Spanish Language, Technology and Mathematics. The most relevant results and
impact have been the improvement of the school year syllabus of each department involved with all the new
learning techniques acquired by the teachers who got any mobility, the engagement of teachers from different
departments in several eTwinning projects, the establishment of partnerships with schools from other countries,
the development of other Erasmus+ key action projects, the B2 English language accreditation of several
participants, the methodological updating of the teaching staff involved and the improvement of the image of the
school not only among the rest of the educational community but also as a reference school about
internationalization initiatives in our region. As a long-term benefit despite of the fact that there are not still
enough teachers to apply for a bilingual section in English languages with enough guarantees of success, we
keep training our teaching staff in order to get so. Besides we created an international office, which virtual space
is http://consaburuminternationaloffice.weebly.com. This website includes all the internationalization initiatives of
the school: Erasmus+ projects (KA 101, 103, 219, ECHE charter), international partnership projects, eTwinning
projects which have being developed every year since 2013, initiatives in educational innovation, guidance &
career counseling beyond our borders and any kind of useful information for staying and learning in our school
