Multilingual competence: The entire lesson focuses on English as a foreign language (EFL). Students use the language in real communicative contexts and reflect on learning strategies. 3. Digital competence: Students use digital tools (YouTube, Mentimeter, Canva, Google Forms) safely and effectively to learn and create contents. They also practice responsible online collaboration. 4. Personal, social and learning to learn competence: Collaborative tasks promote teamwork, empathy, and reflection. The self-assessment (Google Forms) encourages students to identify personal learning strategies and progress. 5. Entrepreneurship competence: The group digital project fosters creativity, initiative, and problem-solving (creating and presenting a multimedia product). 6. Cultural awareness and expression competence: Exposure to authentic English materials from global sources (BBC) enhances students’ awareness of cultural diversity and media expression.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION How can you improve your listening? So, let's look at four tips to improve your listening. First, if you don't have much time then it's good to find something that you're interested in. And actually most of these things you can probably listen to on your phone. So you can do it almost anywhere. You can watch TV or films in English, whether that's on TV or on your phone. Podcasts are another great way to find English to listen to. Find one about a topic you like. Next, let's talk about subtitles. They can be helpful, but turning them off can also be helpful. Subtitles in your language can help you understand something that's a bit difficult. Subtitles in English can help you understand the sound that different words or different groups of words can make, and it can be more complicated than you think. Listening without subtitles helps you really practice listening on its own. Next tip. Before you listen to something, try to predict what things you might hear. Make a checklist.Then listen and tick off the things you hear. You could also make a list of questions that you think will be answered in the next section. Then listen and see if you get the answers. This gives you practice at listening for specific information and getting clues from what you hear. Next tip! The way that English sounds can be surprising. There can be words that you don't hear,or words that don't sound the way that you expect them to. Listen to something short and try to write down the words you hear. Listen as many times as you need and then check with the subtitles. Pay attention to words you've missed or anything that sounds surprising. The most important thing is to find things that you like listening to and can understand most of. Then see if some of these techniques can help. That's all for now, but you can find out more on this topic below.
