Outback English

Demà tornem a l'escola. Em fa molta il.lusió poder continuar fent comunitat amb vosaltres. Tinc moltes ganes de començar. Ens veiem demà!

Congratulations to my student, A, who received his B2 First Certificate results today. I am so proud of him. He worked himself into exhaustion with his TDR, got a setback in June, but never once gave up on his dream of passing the First Certificate exam. He gave up his summer to study and gave himself his best chance at passing. Today we know that his hard work and dedication have been successful. Congratulations A!

Ja hem arribat a l'estiu! Què tingueu unes bones vacances i ens veiem al setembre amb molta il.lusió.

Per les families que volen fer alguna cosa a l'anglès aquest estiu, us he preparat un parell de cosetes. Posa SUMMER en els comentaris per tenir una còpia.

Per les families que volen pasar un bon moment junts, us he preparat un joc de Bingo. Posa FAMILY en els comentaris per tenir una còpia.

Unexpected gifts! Today my face to face summer classes finished and I was surprised with these amazing gifts for myself and my daughter as a thank you. This means the world to me because of the thought behind these gifts. I don't teach in the hope of getting anything in return, I teach because it's my passion and nothing makes me happier than watching my students smash their goals and become the confident English speakers I know they can be. It doesn't get any better than this. Moltes gràcies families, de tot cor. Us estimo molt!

Moltes gràcies families! Aquest any tenim una retenció de 95% dels alumnes pel proper curs 2024-2025. I per primer cop tinc 45 alumnes confirmats per setembre, que és més alumnes que mai hem tingut. Gràcies per les vostres recomenacions a les altres families. Junts fem comunitat.

Estic molt agraïda perquè gràcies a vosaltres jo puc fer la cosa que més estimo: ajudar als nens i les nenes convertir-se en persones amb confiança, primer en ells mateixos, i després en persones que poden parlar anglés amb naturalitat i fluidessa. Em fa molta il.lusió veure als meus nens i a les meves nenes conquistar al mon.

En les academies els professors es canvien cada curs. Aquí a Outback English puc acompanyar als alumnes durant molt temps. He vist com infants de 5 anys s'han fet adolescents, i he vist com adolescents s'han fet adults responables. Quina sort que tinc.

Us estimo moltíssim,
Shay

Em fa molta il.lusió compartir amb vosaltres aquest notici. Formo part de l'equip d'APAC, la associació de professorat d'anglès de Catalunya. Nostre objectiu principal és donar suport als professors i les professores de les nostres escoles perquè aprendre anglès sigui divertit pels nens i les nenes i que tothom tingui accés a una educació d'anglès d'alta qualitat. Junts fem English

The best gift is one that arrives unexpectedly. This week my beautiful Monday group gave me this gorgeous gift as a thank you. This means so much to me because of the thought behind the gift: my hard work is seen and recognised and most importantly it's valued. These parents didn't need to get me anything because they have already given me the best gift: allowing me to be the person that guides their children along their English journey until they become the confident English speakers I know they can be. I'm the luckiest person to be able to do a job from the heart. Moltes gràcies families, de tot cor. Us estimo molt!

I'm super excited that my proposal to speak at the Colloquium has been accepted. My talk will be on the transition from primary to secondary school focusing on English language education.

Moltes gràcies a totes les families per compartir amb mi les vostres experiències

Bona diada de Sant Jordi 🌹🐉 May the magic of books forever light your way

Celebrem Sant Jordi a Outback English! Si voleu comprar uns llibres en anglès veniu a veure'ns la setmana que ve.

Today we finished our Unit in Italy and made our own Pizzeria thanks to Geography crate. We love using English to explore the world.

My students today were from school and they have the most amazing English level. Together we are preparing these students to be confident English speakers

We are preparing a surprise book sale of English books for children and adults here at Outback English.

3 years ago, I decided to eliminate exams at Outback English and focus on student’s progress for my primary school courses. Why did I do that? Simply because learning a language takes time, and children learn at different rates and in different ways.

If we only set goals to pass exams, we are ignoring the process needed to achieve these goals. The purpose of focusing on the system of language learning is to put our children in a better position to be able to continue learning English in the future. It’s about the cycle of refinement and improvement.

Then the question becomes: Who is the type of person that can learn a new language? Answer: someone who is consistent and reliable, it’s how often students practise English, how they face difficulties with the language, and how they respond to their teacher’s feedback. Each action the students take is a demonstration of the type of person they want to become. Each time they practice English, they are an English learner. Each time they speak English, they are an English speaker.

These habits contribute to your child’s overall improvement. At first (and especially with children) these habits may seem insignificant or like the child is not progressing, but soon these habits build on each other to create a larger system.

This change is not about having something, but about becoming someone. They are becoming a confident English speaker who is better able access work and success in the long-term future in a globalised world.

This is why there are no exams. My 2 semester reports focus on what the children can do at that moment, acknowledging that learning a language is not about a pass or fail. It’s about hard work and creating healthy habits that create a leaner not only of English, but a leaner of life.  

Tancem per vacances de nadal. Tornem dilluns 8 de gener amb molta il.lusió. Merry Christmas and happy New Year
