Project Summary

According to Eurydice data(2017),the most taught language in Europe with 97% is English.But our students don’t have enough success in English course.They can’t speak comfortably,they can’t write a little complex sentence.They are always afraid of making mistake.They don’t know enough vocabulary.And they don’t want to memorise new words.Because they don’t have any interest in English course.As teachers who prepare their students for 21st century Europe,we want our students to express themselves without worrying about making mistakes.For this,students should do lots of repetitions and use the language frequently.But in doing so, we want to exclude learning from task,make it fun with games,thus providing an easier,more permanent and enjoyable learning environment for students.Thus,the class will not only be the place where the lesson is taught,but also a place to have fun and a positive change will be seen in the motivation of the students.(Maurice,2013)
The person having fun is not afraid to make mistakes.The most suitable environment for learning a foreign language is the environment where communication is established and sharing(Lopez,2003).With the mixed country teams we will establish,students will listen to each other,take notes,and effort to express their opinion.For the student who listens,speaks,writes, enjoys,laughs,learning will become more meaningful and permanent.

Our aims are to:
-exchange of good practises
