Welcome to the new academic year 2009-2010 at Valencia EOI

Hi everybody!

This message is to welcome you all to "e-vent", the English Department Culture Blog at Valencia EOI. As you can see a few changes have been introduced to make it easier for you to find the contents.  Different tags will lead you to contents organised around five main areas: welcome, audio and video, agenda, cinema and students. This last section is for you to take the floor and publish your best pieces. Don't hesitate to ask your teacher for help.

As last year, the aim of the Cuture Coordination is to foster the relationship between language learning and the understanding of the world as a set of shared values, behaviours, customs, arts and symbols. The agenda will include information about whats on at The Film Institute in Valencia, at the Theatres, but also Exhibitions, Lectures and Courses. We understand that we are living in a global world in which English is widely spoken. As Spanish citizens who speak English we want to be able to communicate world wide with a variety of people who speak different tongues but whose common language is English.

This year's programme includes a trip to New York in March (13th to 20th) given that the one to London was so successful. This trip will give us the opportunity to visit Manhattan, the MOMA, and other sites we have been familiar with by watching films and reading novels located there.

We will also reapeat The English Tea Experience due to the interest both of teachers and students to share recipies and contribute to a good cause. We shall have interesting people talking about relevant issues, a visit to MUVIM, a show and some other funny activities.

Any suggestions? Do you want to collaborate?
