181 students from such distant communities as Vicuña, Paihuano, Coinco, Maule and Puerto Natales, are part of the new season of The Word Of The Day, an educational project that premieres on NTV, TVN's cultural channel, which also debuts this Sunday, August 8.
This Sunday, August 8, is celebrated in our country the Children's Day, occasion in which NTV, TVN's cultural channel, debuts, which within its programming will include a new season of The Word Of The Day, a project in which 181 students from municipal schools in the municipalities of Vicuña, Paihuano, Coinco, Maule and Puerto Natales participate, who will teach English through 20 fun capsules.
This educational project is an initiative of the company Live Language Theater that will once again feature students whose schools work with Fundación Educacional Oportunidad's We Learn program, which aims to promote English learning among children from an early age.
Exposing children to English in a context of fun and relaxation is the objective of The Word Of The Day, which will be aired at different times of the day to show the meaning of a total of 20 words.
The head of the We Learn program at Fundación Educacional Oportunidad, Paz Collao, explained that "giving students the opportunity to practice the language in a real project like this one, which goes beyond the classroom, has a great effect on their motivation for English and their understanding of the language as a communication tool. It also gives them a chance to learn more deeply.
She also added the impact of being the ones who teach other children. "It's different learning a word for a class than learning it because I'm going to teach it to my peers on broadcast television. It gives them a responsibility to practice their pronunciation well, to use creativity to represent it and to share their learning with others. And without a doubt, they assumed that responsibility very well because the capsules turned out great", concluded Paz.
For her part, Live Language Theater's executive director, Valérie Fauvage, added that "this new season of The Word Of The Day follows the line for which the company has become known nationally: that of learning English in an entertaining and participatory way. And these capsules represent that spirit. We believe that the audiovisual format is the best alternative to face the educational insufficiency resulting from the pandemic.
