CHORLEYWOOD
Este pasado viernes 21 de junio de 2013 ha vuelto de Chorleywood (Inglaterra) el grupo de
alumnos de ESO3 y BACH1 que ha participado en un intercambio lingüístico con alumnos de
castellano del colegio St. Clement Danes School, de la citada localidad, situada en el condado
de Hertfordshire, al noroeste de Londres (aproximadamente a 40 min. en metro del centro de la
ciudad). Este grupo de alumnos ha estado acompañado por tres profesores del colegio (Marta,
Iratxe y Javi).
Nuestros alumnos han vivido durante una semana con una familia inglesa
compartiendo sus horarios, su gastronomía, su tiempo libre y sus aficiones, y conociendo otra
cultura y otras costumbres (en ocasiones muy diferentes a las nuestras), así como un colegio y
un sistema educativo distinto al nuestro. Y todo ello en una situación de inmersión lingüística
que seguro que tendrá en nuestros alumnos consecuencias positivas en el uso y la practica del
inglés.
Esta ha sido la tercera ocasión en la que nuestro colegio ha
participado en este intercambio, desde que comenzó en el curso 2010-2011. La experiencia de
este año ha sido excelente. Tenemos que agradecer especialmente el esfuerzo que han hecho
las familias de acogida (tanto las inglesas como las de Bilbao) por atender a los chavales, y por
facilitarles y preparar actividades para que pudieran conocerse, relacionarse, practicar el
idioma y, sobre todo, pasárselo bien. Esperamos que las relaciones y las amistades creadas en
este intercambio continúen en los próximos años y permitan a nuestros alumnos seguir
practicando el inglés y seguir acercándose y conociendo la cultura de este país.
Pasa den ostiralean, ekainaren 21ean, Chorleywood-etik (Ingalaterra) DBH3 eta BATX1
kurtsoetako ikasleek osatutako taldea bueltatu zen, hango St. Clement Danes School
ikastetxearekin hizkuntza ikasle-trukean parte hartu dutenak. Hiri hau Hertfordshire-n dago,
Londreseko ipar-mendebaldean (hiriburutik 40 minututara metroz). Taldea ikastetxeko hiru
irakaslek lagunduta egin du bidaia (Marta, Iratxe eta Jabi).
Gure ikasleek aste oso batean zehar familia ingelesa batean bizi izan dira, haien ordutegiak,
gastronomia, haien aisialdia eta haien zaletasunak ere elkarbanatuz, eta hango kultura eta
ohiturak ezagutuz (batzutan, gureak ez bezalakoak direnak). Hango ikastetxea eta heziketa
sistema ezberdina ere ezagutu dute. Eta guzti hau, hizkuntza murgiltze giro batean, gure
ikasleengan ondorio positiboak izango dituena ingelesa erabiltzeko erraztasunean eta
praktikan.
Hirugarren kurtsoa dugu hau ikasle-truke honekin hasi ginenetik, 2010-2011 ikasturtean.
Aurtengo esperientzia ezin hobea izan da. Bereziki eskertu behar diegu familia hartzaileek egin
duten ahaleginagatik (Ingalaterrakoak eta Bilbokoak, guztiak) ikasleak haien etxeetan hartzeko,
eta ikasleak elkarren artean ezagutzeko eta erlazionatzeko ekintzak prestatzeagatik edota
errazteagatik, ikasleek hizkuntza praktika zezaten eta, batez ere, ondo pasa zezaten.
Ikasle-truke honetan sortutako harremanak eta adiskidetasunak luze iraunduko dutela espero
dugu, eta gure ikasleentzat lagungarriak izango direla ingelesa praktikatzen jarraitzeko eta
herrialde horretako kultura ezagutzen jarraitzeko.
