PET is an exam for people who can use everyday written and spoken English at an intermediate level. It covers all four language skills — reading, writing, listening and speaking. Preparing for the exam is a popular way to develop and improve your language skills because it provides practical language practice in a variety of everyday work, study and leisure situations.
PET reflects the use of language in real life, such as understanding signs and announcements, and is accepted by many employers as proof of ability to use English in clerical, secretarial or managerial jobs. It is also widely accepted for use in jobs where spoken English is necessary such as tourism, retail, construction, manufacturing and engineering.
Is PET for you?
Can you use English to:
deal with everyday events?
read simple textbooks or magazine articles?
write letters on familiar subjects?
take notes in a meeting?
If this describes your skills now, or describes the level of skills you are working towards, then PET is the right exam for you.
We are extremely excited to be starting a school year with you. We are very pleased that our school has a well-earned reputation in our community.
At San Jorge School, we are working together in creating a better atmosphere for our students.
As you visit the school, you will notice many positive changes; in all classrooms you will find a computer to be used by the teacher and in strategic places the smart boards.
Let´s hope we can all enjoy of these and more services that our school offers us.
Thank you San Jorge!

Wiki is a collaborative environment where students learn much about how to work with others, how to create,communicate and how to work in a world where the creation of knowledge and information is more and more becoming a group effort. They can also be used to facilitate the dissemination of information, to enable the exchange of ideas and to facilitate group interaction.
The more autonomy teachers give students the better but a teacher must be willing to do this. It means students begin to teach each other and the teacher becomes a facilitator.
Students learn to publish content, develop and use collaborative skills, negotiating to agree on correctness meaning relevance, and more.
First see if something is already written, read critically to find the areas where information is missing or disorganized.
Must take it on as your own because you have the ability to edit and make it better. This is a hugh shift.
Give students editorial control, Have the whole class monitor the content gives students ownership and responsibility.
