Methodology

  • We intend to reach these objectives by carrying out activities separately in each partner school or in multinational groups during transnational project meetings. Our project activities are:
    - using students as cultural embassadors preparing and holding a presentation called "Welcome to my country / city / school / class"
    - dealing with a variety of assignments in a "traditional" or in a "smart" way
    - collecting data referring to language use in all partner countries in order to find reasons for deteriorating language skills
    - promoting reading skills by reading a novel of each partner country and preparing a (digital) poster advertising reading as a free-time activity
    - improving (foreign) language skills by preparing tutorials to teach basic vocabulary of the official languages of each partner country
    - using English at work, i.e. practising customer service in role plays in different situations (at the hotel bar, restaurant, reception)


    Our project intends to make a contribution to independent learning and a strategic use of information and communication technology. We also expect to achieve positive effects on the basic competences of the participants (especially reading skills and motivation as well as social skills). Furthermore, professional skills will be promoted (customer service) and the use of English as a lingua franca.


    As these skills become more and more important in education, we expect to be able to profit from our project results in the long run. We will be able to use them as a basis and to continue working on this issue. Furthermore, our project results may serve as an inspiration for other institutions.
