Student learning outcomes

* Prior to starting the unit, I gave my students a dossier with some useful vocabulary about job searching and the job market.

* I also gave them a document made by Connexions UK http://www.connexions-northumberland.org.uk/) with some helpful sheets to help them through the steps of getting a job

* 1.- Students write down some of their own thoughts about the pros and cons of working in the EU

* 2.- In pairs, each student could read what the other wrote and they can combine their answers into one written statement

* 3.- Finally they can practise presenting their conclusions to the class

*

*

* 1.- Individually, each student will search for information about working in EU, mainly in Eures network website and choose a country.

* 2.- Once every student has chosen a country, we organise small groups around each country. Every group should look for job information, arriving, living and working conditions in the selected country and prepare a brief dossier to upload in the wiki. Once the dossier is done, every group will prepare a presentation about the country.

* 3. Every group will share their presentation with the class

* 4.- Finally, the class will discuss which country offers better work and living conditions.
