THE LOMLOE AIMS TO DEVELOP 8 KEY COMPETENCES
This involves activating, in a conscious manner, knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable the understanding, interpretation and critical evaluation of all types of messages – signed, written, audio-visual or multimodal – and communicating with others in a cooperative, respectful, creative and ethical way.
Our courses are structured in a way that enhances specific language competence development in every section, while the language learning process itself facilitates the other key competences.
Using languages in an efficient and appropriate way for learning and communication, while recognizing and respecting different linguistic expressions.
Learning a foreign language naturally develops plurilingual and intercultural awareness.
This competence is based on understanding the world using different scientific methods, mathematical thinking and technology to transform our surroundings in a respectful and sustainable way.
Through carefully selected topics and texts, our courses incorporate education in Science & STEM, allowing for intercurricular work related to these areas.
The digital competence involves using digital technologies in a secure, healthy, sustainable, critical and responsible way for learning, working and participating in society.
A wide range of blended materials specifically tailored for teaching develop the use of technology for learning in the classroom, as well as at home, in a critical and healthy way.
Learning to learn involves the ability to reflect on your own learning, and to collaborate with others in a constructive way, promoting personal growth through lifelong learning and social skills.
A focus on productive and interactive activities, present in all our teaching materials, develops skills in communication, mediation, collaboration and self-reflection, and enables meaningful learning.
This competence encourages acting as a responsible citizen and participating fully in social and civil life, based on a critical understanding of broad social, economic, judicial and political structures and concepts. It includes knowledge of world events and a commitment to sustainability and global citizenship.
A careful selection of topics and activities in all our courses help students acquire relevant 21st-century skills and develop awareness of key issues related to being a world citizen.
This involves learning to analyse circumstances and ideas critically and to act accordingly in a creative and constructive way, and working with others to learn to take risks and reach decisions that affect your learning.
Our courses contain tools like reviews and self-assessment charts that encourage reflective learning as well as personal initiative – students learn to think about and take responsibility for their learning.
This competence encourages understanding and respecting how different cultures express and communicate ideas.
All topics in our courses are selected to promote an awareness of, and respect for, diversity, gender equality, respect for different cultures and the need for global sustainability.
All Burlington Books courses facilitate the development of the key competences for ESO and Bachillerato in a natural way.
