Thank you for your commitment to the goal of transforming English Classrooms across Costa Rica through Action-Oriented Teaching and Learning. This document contains a range of resources and key elements to assist you in collaborative environments as you make your way through the four following stages (proposed by Patrick Moran, a respected authority in language teacher education): * Knowing about--by understanding the concepts and principles of the curricular English teaching and learning reform. * Knowing why--by internalizing the purpose of the English reform as a response to contributing to the formation of the new citizen the country requires. * Knowing how--by developing and implementing the action-oriented learning tasks when designing lesson plans, assessment instruments and follow up actions to best serve learners. * Knowing oneself--by reflecting upon and reviewing your personal beliefs and teaching practices. In conjunction with the materials in this module, we are encouraging you to build partnerships with other colleagues and to contextualize the material and ideas given according to your students needs and context. Furthermore, we invite you to develop your knowledge and skills as lifelong learners to improve mediation practices and to build confidence and motivation to teach. To assist you with this ongoing process, we will continue to develop and provide online digital resources and professional development opportunities.

1. Learners need an updated curriculum that reflects the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to succeed in the information age as 21st century learners. 2. Pre-school, elementary, and secondary school´s curriculum required an update in order to have more pertinent target content. 3. Learners who receive English lessons in elementary and high schools are not reaching the expected English proficiency levels after eleven or twelve years of instruction. 4. Citizens need to possess a number of competences to communicate effectively in the global context and to face the challenges of an interconnected world. Purpura (2016)

I tillegg har vi en fjerde smakebit fra In Colour - albumåpneren 'Gosh' - tilgjengelig i dag. Utgivelsen av In Colour kommer nå etter en utrolig seks år lang kreativ periode for Jamie xx, som har sett ham veksle uanstrengt mellom sin rolle som grunnlegger og produsent i The xx, og skaper av mer elektronisk og klubborientert musikk som Jamie xx .

Pluss sammarbeid med bl.a Young Thug og Popcaan(' Good Times ') og Four Tet (' Seesaw ') - Jamie leverer sitt definitive kunstneriske “statement”.

Susanna Hoffs “The Only Thing” The new single from 10 Songs, out now Originally written by Healy as a could-be duet, Hoff remembers the moment the stars seemed to align: “One day, he asked me to sing with him, and without hesitation, I burst out ‘Yes!’ He showed up at my doorstep with his recording gear and we recorded my vocals in the living room. Collaborating with Fran and the band has been a pure pleasure.” Grizfolk feat. Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D) “All I Want For Christmas Is A Rock Show” A cathartic original track that encapsulates everything we’re all feeling after being without concerts since March: “Stuck at home, all alone // Tired of staring at my phone // All my favorite concerts // Went from sold out to postponed // I’m feeling lonely // I’m so lonely” Official adds at WFPK and KSMF this week, spins at KRVB and KPND already Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard “Christmas Is Coming (We All Know The Score)” A new original track, added at WFPK “‘Christmas Is Coming’ may seem like the kind of anti-imperialist Christmas song that only a global pandemic could produce, but in actual fact it was written in 2018 (capitalism never takes a holiday) after I finished Christmas shopping for my friends. Nothing quite fills one with the dread of implied consumerism quite like pretending you know what you’re friends actually desire on the third floor of a TK Maxx.” - frontman Tom Rees ONR feat.
