Project Summary

The project „Innovative methods of teaching foreign languages with the use of information and communication technologies” was created on the basis of all three schools’ needs that want to participate in a three-side partnership: Poland, Croatia and Italy. The main purpose of the project is exchanging good practices between schools.
The detailed objectives are:
-to improve teachers’ skills in using innovative methods of teaching foreign languages with the use of ICT
-to develop students’ motivation to learn foreign languages
-to increase efficiency in the process of foreign languages learning with the use of ICT

250 students, at the age 12-15 years old, will participate in the project. These children want to develop their language skills and they are interested in ICT. There will be 12 students from each country taking part in mobilities. This group will consist of pupils who have good grades at school, disabled children, children having poor living conditions and children with specific learning difficulties. All participants will be supported by teachers from each partnership’s school.
We have prepared a detailed schedule in order to achieve all the goals. The schedule contains:
-teachers’ meetings in each of 3 countries which are involved in project. During the mobilities teachers will share their knowledge and experience in using ICT in innovation foreign language teaching and learning. Teachers will also have opportunity to take part in open classes which will be based on innovative teaching of English
-students’ mobilities when they will have a chance to take part in classes conducted by teachers/ specialists from host country with the use of innovative methods of teaching foreign languages

Partnership schools will introduce their own methods of teaching foreign languages, which are:
-teaching English with the use of robots coding – POLAND
