Regarding the Social Programme, in the evening, I joined the Brighton Walking Tour around the city. It was a good idea, since I could get to know how to move about the city as well as some History and Art facts. -
3rd. Day: Wednesday, 18th. October
This lesson was particularly fruitful for me, due to the fact that I got some input on Listening and Speaking tools, apps and websites to use in my class. On second period we were given some free time to explore them and get started on the different tools and on the final lesson we had a workshop to put everything into practice. This is the list we were given to work out. -

This day was devoted to Evidence Based Teaching Methodology. First of all, we had a demo lesson and, after the break, we had the unpacking of the lesson and faced with some actual facts. At the end we could debate about our ideas with respect to this new methodology based on the scientific method.
In the evening, I joined a Conversation Club arranged by the school as a part of its social programme. It was lovely to meet some new people from so many different nationalities. -
