This presentation will provide a detailed guide to key competences and will demonstrate that most teachers are already using key competences in many typical activities without realizing! We will give you useful tips and activities to incorporate the key competences into the 4 skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. We will also look at ways to assess and evaluate them using technological resources such as wikis.

2. A COMPETENCE is defined as the ability to
put into practice the knowledge, skills and
attitudes acquired through the ESO stage in
a way which is appropriate to different
contexts and situations, and to do so in an
integrated way.
They are also labelled as KEY competences,
because we consider that these are the
essential competences to become citizens
and to solve problems in everyday situations.

4. KEY COMPETENCES are all considered
equally important, because each of them
can contribute to a successful life in a
knowledge society. Many of the competences
overlap and interlock: aspects essential to
one domain will support competence in
another.
Therefore, COOPERATIVE LEARNING is a
perfect approach to implement KC.

5. In COOPERATIVE LEARNING students must
work in groups to complete tasks
collectively. Unlike individual learning,
students learning cooperatively capitalize on
one another’s resources and skills.
Furthermore, the teacher's role changes
from giving information to facilitating
students' learning. Everyone succeeds when
the group succeeds.

8. The important point of Key Competences is
how can we incorporate them into the 4
skills: reading, writing, listening and
speaking.
Some of the most typical activities in English
Language Teaching are listed below. Could
you match them with each competence?
Could you think of other activities from the
point of view of Key Competences?

10. A RUBRIC is a set of criteria and standards
typically linked to learning objectives which
are known by students to support their self-
reflection. It is used to communicate or
assess about product, performance, or
process tasks.
A typical rubric is based upon what we have
learned, rather than what we have been
taught. As such it is an authentic assessment
tool designed to simulate real life activities
and experiences.

13. A WIKI is a website with multiple users who
can add, modify, or delete its content using
a simplified markup language or a rich-text
editor.
Wikis may serve many different purposes:
community websites, corporate intranets
and notetaking. Some permit control over
different functions (levels of access). Other
rules may also be imposed for organizing
content.

14. A wiki is a collaborative http://pbworks.com
website that comprises
the collective work of
many authors.

15. A Treasure Hunt, also known as a
Knowledge or Scavenger Hunt, sends
students to preselected sites to find the
answers to specific questions.
There are only 3 steps to create one:
*Identify 10-15 links (specific pages)
*Pose question for each link
*Include culminating question that requires
synthesis
