X4change AIESEC Recife to SDG 4 - Quality Education

    Description
    Description
    In Brazil, less than 5% of the population speaks Intermediate English, and only 1% are fluent (Data popular, O Brasil em Perspectiva, 2013.) By bringing international exchange participants to teach English or Spanish we want to enlarge the worldview of children and adolescents and build capacity for them to have better chances for their future.The project took place in about 10 NGOs during 2015. Kids had the opportunity to interact with strangers from around the world. They understood the value and importance of learning new languages and that is is possible in their lives. By the testimony of principals and teachers in NGOs they are also more able to learn and search for a better future now.
    Expected Impact

    The project is being implemented in three simple steps that facilitate the teaching of another language and help to implement cultural knowledge in each dynamic applied. This is specific iteration of the project is being done in the the NGO “PROCRIU” and “Instituto Agir” in Recife.Week 1: Incoming Preparation Seminar: workshops to understand the value of projects and build a plan.Week 2: Easy Communication - Basic process of understanding the expressions through learning speech. At this stage it is time to internalize the usual vocabulary and expressions immediacy.Weeks 3-5: Learning by doing - Implement learning in global issues. Teach students the language while developing dynamic and contextualized work. This is the longest stage of the project; learning will be through practical experience with the language.Week 6: InterAction - Intern becomes a mediator of knowledge, more effective dialogue, breaking and entering fears learning challenges so that students understand the importance of interacting for learning the language.
