Creando lección...
1
In 1968, a group of innovative educators founded the International Baccalaureate,
2
or IB for short, an educational non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland.
3
Its principles are based on the pedagogy of Marie-Thérèse Moret.
4
She believed that all children should gain a global perspective on our world before they study at their own national history.
5
should further always practice two languages to learn a second form of communication
6
and with it a new mode of thinking inherent to the second language.
7
Schools that meet the standards can partner with the IB organization.
8
For a fee, they can be certified and then offer their students an international education that is valid all over the world.
9
The goal?
10
To provide kids with the intellectual,
11
emotional and social skills needed to live,
12
learn and work in a globalizing world.
13
IB programs encourage personal and academic achievement.
14
They are fun and academically challenging at first and highly demanding later.
15
Currently there are four different programs.
16
1. The Primary Years Program.

This is for kids between 3 to 12 and is designed to encourage the children to ask some of life's big questions.

We learn about our identity,
28
culture, relationships, as well as globalization and sustainability.
29
In addition, there are now also design, literature and health.

This is a two-year program for students aged 16 to 19 who seek a certified qualification to enter a university
32
or another higher education institution.

In addition to six elective classes,
34
it consists of three core subjects.

1. Extended essay writings, 4,000 words.

37
And 3.
38
Creativity, action and service to learn creative thinking through experience and social work.
39
The Career-Related Programme It aims to prepare students for the professional world and help them identify career options.
40
To pass it, students have to do two complete diploma programmes,
41
study personal and professional skills and advanced language,
42
and how to execute and learn from a big project.
43
Later, they seek practical experience to get prepared for their first job or an internship.
44
Today, around 5,000 schools all around the globe offer IB programs.
45
Some IB diploma students say it is a very stressful experience with little time for anything else
46
but studying all day and evenings.
47
Others say that it's hard work and challenging
48
but once they graduate they look back to a good and valuable time in their life.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
