DECCA visits an exhibition vindicating the role of Women Artists. For too long they have either been omitted altogether, or isolated (….) and discussed only as women artists, as if in some strange way they were not part of their culture at all. In this exhibition DECCA could savour the work of some women artists and their contribution to art. Again, students could see the museum as a learning space and that learning English at museums is an extraordinary emotional experience.
Developing English Communicative Competence through Art Decca Course Survey 2nd term.
A DECCA Project participating teacher, Carola Castellano Ortega, at a conference organised by the Teachers of English Association (TEA). In her workshop she explained to her colleagues what DECCA Project was about and the activities carried out so far so as to encourage other English teachers to use art as a means of developing their students’ communicative competence in English.

Teaching staff at the EOI Las Palmas de GC listening to some DECCA Project participating teachers talking about the development of the project and the advantages of using art on a regular basis in their lessons.
At the beginning of this academic year 2017-2018, most teachers at our language school (EOI Telde) showed interest in incorporating art in their lessons in order to boost their students’ communicative competence in a foreign language and awaken their critical thinking through art. Therefore, they will attend a 10-hour course held in our school led by the DECCA project coordinator in Telde and a French teacher.
It is going to be a great opportunity for us to put into practice some of the activities in the DECCA Resource Book as well as create new activities following the DECCA spirit.
