Secondary- Let's Go!
Let's Go is a new social and educational pilot programme aimed at making the town of Badia del Vallès a focal point for English language learning: an English-Learning City (ELC).
This programme opens up new methodologies to English teachers at the schools in Badia del Vallès. The head teachers of the two secondary schools organise the actions to be taken in the schools and supervise the programme as a whole.
The ultimate goal for when the project ends in 2020 is for the whole town to be involved in promoting the learning of English, through a network formed by social entities, schools and the community.
