Materials:
This presentation was shown to the teachers to show the pilars of the projects. This presentation is the guideline troughout the whole week. This project was presented to us by Jasper. He showed the teachers what the pillars are for the project. This presentation is similar to the presentation in Sabadell because he has the same vision with some slight changes like the theme of the week: Professionalism and Multilingualism.
This presentation was given by Mary Ashton. Mary Ashton gave a keynote about CLIL, Content and Langue Intergrated Learning. CLIL is teaching a second langues intergrated with other school subjects chosen by the teacher, so the pupils are gaining a second language. She showed the teachers how they could use CLIL in their own classrooms, to increase multilingualism, by doing an assignment with the teachers. See the pictures below.
In this week Savas gave a presentation about Multilingualism and Professionalism. He built his presentation with different kinds of literature. This literature can be used to build up your own mini-project. After the presentation Savas gave the teachers a assignment on which they had to work to understand the importance of Multilingualism and Professionalism. You can find the literature in the literature folder on the page of materials
