Project Summary

The project “Read, Write, Speak and Enjoy!” involved partner schools from four countries: Latvia, Turkey, Spain and Poland. About eight hundred pupils from primary schools and sixty teachers participated in the project. Students with special educational needs took part in project activities. The main objective of the partnerships was to improve pupils’ basic skills in writing, reading comprehension and speaking in native languages and in English, as well as to develop and strengthen the professional, pedagogical competences of teachers. Pupils read books, useful texts, wrote texts, practised speaking English in lessons and in real life, during the short – term exchanges of groups of pupils. For most project activities, evaluation and dissemination, ICT – based methodology/Web 2.0 was used (websites, blogs, digital books, Google Docs, Google+, Facebook). Teachers analysed, compared and used different methods and techniques, including Learning Community, Blended Learning, Intersemiotic Rearrangement of texts. They exchanged and integrated new good practices into daily activities. Students’ basic skills improvement was evaluated by tests. Project activities led to achieve the main objectives, but also developed the skills of working in groups, interculturalism, the skills of planning and implementing project activities, using
ICT and strengthened the motivation to learning languages. The project lasted two years and four short – term exchanges of groups of pupils and four transnational project meetings were organised. All project activities and results were widely disseminated and the evaluation of project’s progress was done regularly. Students participated in all stages of the project: planning, implementation and evaluation. The project produced an innovative approach to teaching students by providing attractive ways of learning.
