The auxiliary program has continued in IES Carmen Martín Gaite for another year. Auxiliaries or language assistants, are part-time employees of the Ministry of Education. They are native English speakers that assist teachers with the development of fluency of their students. They are seen as a valuable resource for students and teachers alike. We have had four auxiliaries with the school this year and we hope to have the same number return next year to continue the great work.
The auxiliaries are of course present in English class, but it doesn’t stop there. Auxiliaries assist in most subjects, Biology to Technology, Art to P.E. Any opportunity to help improve fluency. During these classes, various types of activities are undertaken; games, activities, conversation groups.
But the most beneficial way of learning English is simple! Through general conversation. Simply taking an interest in a student’s lives, enquiring about their hopes, plans or what they did on the weekend. It makes learning a language more relevant. English has become so important in the world today. In fact, it has become the language of business communication, science and travel.

If students are tackling any of these in the future, English is necessary. And that is why the auxiliaries at IES Carmen Martín Gaite take great pride in helping them. Let’s hope students take advantage of this great opportunity and the government continues to fund this essential program with our support.
A special thanks to the other auxiliaries; Cristina, Michael and Robert.
