WHAT I KNOW?	WHAT I WANT TO KNOW? WHAT MY COLLEGUES WOULD LIKE TO KNOW REGARDING MY PROJECT?	HOW I CAN FIND OUT?	HOW I CAN PUT IT IN PRACTICE (STRATEGIES)?
Reading aloud allows integrating skills as: listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar skills and also the students can improve their knowledge because they are learning other subjects that are in the literature (science, sports, math, art, history…) and any kind of topic that they want to advance to.  English is an excuse to open their minds into a new world. Besides, English classes are different and they can change their mind about it… English is fun!	I need to search about theory and strategies because the idea was born in my own wish to improve my English and I wonder how they can learn in a different way.  I also want to know what is written about this topic and how it has been taught because for me is very important to plan the syllabus in an adequate way.

Robinson said: -          I think your project is very interesting, but you have to find the way to make a reading a motivation to learn more.
