Breaking The Language Barrier

Can the Spanish be taught English? 

You bet they can and this is partly thanks to Mark Levy the Head of English programmes at the British Council in Spain. 

In 1996 the British Council and Ministry of Education implanted a programme of bilingual learning to marginal or disadvantaged state schools in Spain to provide these students an opportunity to learn in English. 

These days almost all children in the state sector have the opportunity to learn in English and Spain has improved immensely in language competency. 
I’ve been part of the British Council programme for almost 20 years and so this subject is very close to my heart. So thank you Mark for agreeing to talk to #projectpeoplepodcasts, I thoroughly enjoyed talking to you. 


Rompiendo la Barrera Idiomática ¿Pueden los españoles aprender inglés?

¡Por supuesto que sí! Y esto es, en parte, gracias a Mark Levy, Jefe de Programas de Inglés en el British Council en España.

En 1996, el British Council y el Ministerio de Educación implementaron un programa de aprendizaje bilingüe en escuelas públicas marginadas o desfavorecidas de España para ofrecer a estos estudiantes la oportunidad de aprender en inglés.

Desde entonces, el programa se ha desarrollado y extendido por todo el país, inspirando a otras comunidades a crear sus propios programas. Hoy en día, casi todos los niños en el sector público tienen la oportunidad de aprender en inglés, y España ha mejorado enormemente en competencia lingüística.

He sido parte del programa del British Council durante casi 20 años, por lo que este tema es muy cercano a mi corazón. Así que gracias, Mark, por aceptar hablar con #projectpeoplepodcasts. He disfrutado muchísimo conversando contigo.
