Student learning outcomes
7. * Prior to starting the unit, I
gave my students a dossier
with some useful vocabulary
about job searching and the
job market.
* I also gave them a document
made by Connexions UK
http://www.connexions-
northumberland.org.uk/) with
some helpful sheets to help
them through the steps of
getting a job
* 1.- Students write down some
of their own thoughts about
the pros and cons of working
in the EU
* 2.- In pairs, each student
could read what the other
wrote and they can combine
their answers into one
written statement
* 3.- Finally they can practise
presenting their conclusions
to the class
*
8. *
*1.- Individually, each student will search for information
about working in EU, mainly in Eures network website and
choose a country.
*2.- Once every student has chosen a country, we organise
small groups around each country. Every group should
look for job information, arriving, living and working
conditions in the selected country and prepare a brief
dossier to upload in the wiki. Once the dossier is done,
every group will prepare a presentation about the
country.
*3. Every group will share their presentation with the class
*4.- Finally, the class will discuss which country offers
better work and living conditions.
