Bite-Sized Pintxos Trailer

Episode VI of Season II. In this episode, Hattie and I think about language and language education in our schools. The secondary schools we have been working at as English teaching assistants operate in three languages: Castilian Spanish, Galician, and English. How do these languages intersect in the classroom? What do students and teachers speak outside the classroom? What is the impact of the trilingual system on students' education? These are all questions we ask (and answer) alongside three teachers at Mason's school, IES Valladares, and a bunch of our students.

Episode V of Season II. This week we sat down with Ángel and Patricia to talk about Carnival celebrations - or as it's known in Galicia, Entroido. We reflect on the traditions that are unique to Galicia by walking through the events both in Vigo and a small town in the province of Ourense called Laza. Tune in to hear about some of these fascinating traditions and a peak into one of the most special times of year here in Galicia.

Episode IV of Season II. In this week's episode, Hattie sits down to have a conversation with one of the English teaches at her school, Natalia. Natalia explains the process of becoming a public school teacher in Galicia - a longer and more complicated process than you might think. Along the way, she explains her own experience going through this process as well as the role of teachers in tutoria and some of the emotional aspects of teaching. We had a lovely time getting to know Natalia and we hope you enjoy learning about her and the lives of teachers in Vigo (and Galicia) as much as we did.  For more information on the Pintxos Podcast, visit our new website www.thepintxospodcastseason2.wordpress.com or our instagram @pintxospodcast.

I’m Chloe Wheeler, a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Galicia, Spain. Welcome to The Pintxos Podcast! Each episode is a bite-sized “tapa” about trilingualism and education.

Podcasts are time capsules not only back to normality but also back to the 3rd century BC when the first stones of Lugo’s Roman past were just being laid. Let’s go backwards in time today, with some interviews my student Artai recorded just two months ago— with the art historian Guillermo Tort Vázquez. Hidden gems we discuss: Domus do Mitreo  Galician Baroque Paintings in Lugo’s Cathedral Casa dos Mosaicos  Provincial Museum Castelo de Pambre Santa Eulalia de Boveda Castro de Viladonga Sound Editing by Chloe Wheeler.
