This videoconference course took place on the 2^nd and 4^th of March 2021 and it was held by Art scholar and English teacher trainer Catherine Park. This training activity was attended by 160 teachers in Castilla y León interested in embedding Visual Arts in their lessons.

Five main objectives were developed in both sessions with the help of the teachers, who  participated very actively in the chat.

Objective 1: To offer and insight into how art can be used in the classroom.

The teachers began by sharing their favourite works of art in a padlet: https://padlet.com/admin2118/Bookmarks which has work as the course own Gallery Art.

Objective 2: To teach English through art from basic vocabulary to complex grammatical structures.

Objective 3: To reflect on how they can choose and adapt images to their teaching objectives.

Objective 4: To provide productive activities and ideas so that the learners are completely involved in the experience.

Objective 5: To motivate teachers and students to learn and enjoy works of art through the English language, by addressing key topics.

Although the course was mainly aimed to Secondary teachers of English, there were also teachers of Social Sciences, Visual Arts, Music, Technology, Vocational Studies and a few Primary Teachers attending to the course. This variety of subjects has enriched enormously the variety of activities designed as well as the skills, resources and the cross-curricular possibilities.

These ready-to-make activities designed by the teachers are uploaded in the blog of the course: https://artenglishcfpi.blogspot.com/ where you can also see the padlet mentioned above.

The participants have highly valued the course contents and the resources provided (also in the blog). Language teachers and those teaching their subject in English are very much interested in using cultural aspects in their lessons, not as an accessory, but as essentials components of the learning experience.
