Project Summary

A priority for all education programmes of European countries is a necessity of learning foreign languages. Different countries use various methods to form an independent and capable human being who can be fully integrated into the European labour market.
We stand at the beginning of this language education where the basics are built. To make the basics stronger, we have created a project called – Lively English Book for Children. The e- book is created by pupils and teachers themselves and through this they bring stronger inner motivation and their own creativity into the education.

Six partner schools have taken part in the project – Slovakia, Czech republic, Poland, Romania, Italy and Turkey – where English is the primary foreign language which pupils learn in these schools.
Thanks to partner meetings we have brought English directly to schools, among pupils and teachers. The direct contact with the foreign language through personal contacts has become an impulse and great discovery for further education.
Creating of e- book has become a challenge not just for pupils but also for teachers whose English is on the basic or even on the low level.
A whole process of the project is proceeded through modern technologies which build up a nice, creative and multicultural environment especially for pupils. The developing of creativity, art skills, cooperation skills and other competences needed in the process of education, is equally important.
The e- book has got 8 units from 8 topics which have been created by internationally cooperation of small teams of pupils and teachers in partners´ countries. The topics – Me and my town, My school, My family, Hobby, Food, Animals, My body and My dream – contain vocabulary, education texts, exercises, short videos, dialogues, comics, stories etc. The book is an introduction to the education of foreign languages at language level A1. The main aim of international meetings was to obtain and exchange good experiences from the creation of the e- book, from the English teaching itself in school conditions and most of all to bring the direct contact with English into schools thanks to pupils´ and teachers ´meetings by both – formal and informal way. The idea of the project was and still is to start up the need of our pupils and teachers to learn a foreign language and also to direct the attention of parents straight to their pupils´ education. The e-book has become a standard learning environment for teaching English which pupils use not only at school but also at home and it is also available online for whoever and whenever.
