Sumario:This is a sample of what teachers work on as projects during the English Immersion Program. In June 2010 a group of participant teachers worked on a magazine related to the environment on the island with the guidance of their tutor Randy Roy Stephens. They did research on the topic by reading, interviewing inhabitants, and visiting different places and institutions that work for the environment on the island. They wrote different articles and called their magazine Environmental Views in Paradise. This magazine shows an active participation of the teachers in the program, and also an interesting reflection on environmental issues on the island. It is also evident that with this experience participant teachers value the role of projects in language learning processes. However, their experience leads to a discussion on the demands of following this approach in the immersion program.
