Description

Participants are expected to enhance their level of English (C1, C2) by engaging in group work, hands-on workshops, project-based learning and “talking to people” interviews, and to learn about the Irish culture and way of life as a context for communication and interaction.

Areas of study such as society, literature, art, traditions, history, geography, film, etc. will help participants to get to know Ireland in a multicultural European setting. Field projects to places of archaeological, artistic, and historical interest will expand the participants' cultural experience. This should also influence the quality of a more informed practice in education.

Participants should be teachers with a level of English corresponding to C1 or C2 in the Common European Framework (CEFR).

Learning objectives

To help participants to enhance their communicative competence in English through an active insight into aspects of Irish culture and society.
To provide opportunities for participants to meet and carry out investigative project work in the Irish community.
To promote a European Dimension in education, one of the qualities of modern education in Europe, to develop a sense of European citizenship and identity by raising participants' awareness and understanding of other cultures and countries and thus encouraging teacher mobility and school partnerships.

Methodology & assessment

Workshops, project-based learning activities and field learning projects should encourage participants to interact with each other and develop their communication competence. Sessions will promote interaction among participants in the whole programme and every effort will be made to provide a collaborative learning environment. This should also be an excellent opportunity to share teaching experiences and ideas with colleagues from a variety of schools around Europe.
During the course, reflective journaling will be completed to enhance participants' professional development. After the course, the bonds created with other participants should expand the European Dimension of your school by sharing and disseminating knowledge at European level or by setting up international collaborative learning projects with your students and other students in Europe.
