  • English Language and Educational Management

    05. 08. - 16. 08. 2019.

    The course is organized by the Oxford International Study Center. Located in central Oxford, primarily focused on teaching English, but through Erasmus + it offer teachers other types of programs but always with the participation in an English language course.

     

    GOAL

    My primary goal was to learn more about educational management theory, get to know fellow principals from other countries, share experiences and learn.

    Get to know the English education system.

    Learn and improve English language competences.

    DURATION

    The course lasts two weeks and each day has the same structure.

    In the morning from 9.00 to 13.00 language learning and from 13.30 to 16.00 Educational management and leadership course.

     

     

    FIRST DAY -  FIRST PART (MONDAY)

    The language course is taught by George. There were nine of us in total: two from Spain, four from Italy, two from Poland and I from Croatia.

    We started by getting to know each other in pairs by answering the questions asked and then introducing each other to the others.

    We continue to listen to Jay Walker English mania and then through conversation we discover the situation with foreign language learning in our countries.

    Foreword by David Chrystal, English as a Global Language

    Answer questions, search for synonyms,

    Song lyrics and listening to the same and working on the text, identifying expressions and then placing the underlined words in a five-column table - phonetic pronunciation.

    Two texts that speak about foreign expressions in English (French) and how English today is one whose terms others borrow.

     

    Judging by the present day, the language learning method will generally be traditionally frontal.

    Classroom without ICT equipment except teachers laptop.

     

    FIRST DAY -  SECOND PART (MONDAY)

     

    The Leadership and Managmant course was led by Dr. Berna Bridge Professor at the University of Izmir (Turkey) and LeIcester (UK) and longtime (25 years) Headmaster of a school in Turkey.
    I was the only student in that program so I had the opportunity to ask everything and share my experience with Dr. Bern.
