Physical Education through English Teaching Experience

Abstract

The implementation of a multilingual program which contains the teaching of a subject through English in addition to the subject of English language in our region is a reality that is slowly arriving to more and more schools. Since the management team accepts this new educational challenge until the chosen subject begins to work as it should, it is a process in which the teacher has a leading role. In the following article we will focus on the most important points that have to be taken into account by physical education teachers in order to achieve a good implementation of this subject through English.
