CONTEXT We want to foster our students’ competence on their second languages, as they have few chances to practice them in real contexts. The improvement of their transversal competences will be crucial as well: using ICT tools to search and present information, developing entrepeneurship to develop activities with a real and useful purpose, reflecting on their own learning process, etc. Teachers also needs new experiences, methodologies and techniques to teach languages. They will prepare didactic sequences and tasks related to sociocultural aspects and intercultural awareness, sharing them during the transnational meetings and on the Internet to later use them with the students. OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS 1- Get to know and value the sociocultural diversity showing attitudes of respect and tolerance. 2- Improve linguistic competence of second languages in real contexts. 3- Use ITC tools autonomously to search for information, analyze it and present it. 4- Transfer, learn and apply quality teaching methods. 5- Foster dialogue and individual or group decision taking. 6- Foster artistic creativity. We will focus on the preparation and implementation of integrated tasks taking the following topics into account: a- Culture and creativity: the nucleus of the activities will have to do with the cultural knowledge of the countries involved (festivals, music, gastronomy, art, sport, etc.). b- Second language teaching and learning: students/teachers will use the languages they learn/teach: Spanish, English, Italian and some German. c- ICT – New technologies – Digital competence. PARTICIPANTS Most of our 12-17 year-old students find few opportunities to practise the language they learn in their environment (three out of four schools are in small towns, and two of them suffer the difficult economic crisis in Spain and Italy), with little or no contact with native speakers. than 200 participants will benefit from this Project, indirectly more than 2000. Teachers want to increase their abilities in the second language classroom, learning new pedagogical approaches, preparing integrated activities that may favour its implementation among their students and looking for better methods to evaluate them. ACTIVITIES - Website to publish our activities and results. - Twinspace to communicate among students, create a logo, a song, a calendar, etc. - Travel guide, which will be used by students in their mobility activities. - Integrated didactic sequences (two per partner) and others about music, sport, art and gastronomy. - Rubric system to evaluate the project. - Article about second language teaching by comparison of methods. - Multilingual dictionary with useful expressions. - Boardgame about sociocultural aspects. - Benefic calendar on festivities and traditions. - Mobility activities: shadow teaching (Spanish teachers in the UK, Austrian teachers in Spain, Italian teachers in Austria and English teachers in Spain) plus students’ activities (art in Austria, sports in Italy, music in Spain and gastronomy in the United Kingdom). There will also be immersion actviities to participate in integrated tasks or to participate in normal classes. METHODOLOGY We will present integrated tasks related to sociocultural aspects and different subjects of the curriculum. We will deal with project-based learning, problem-based learning, gamification, blended learning, etc. These tasks will have a communicative approach and will be developed in cooperative or colaborative groups. The situations will make our students take decision, develop entrepeneurship and ICT use. Teachers will learn new teaching methods, share activities, experiences, resources, etc. They will also take part in shadow-teaching activities to observe and participate in the partners’ schools, in which they will prpare didactic sequences taking their students' necessities into account. We have prepared four transnational meetings. RESULTS AND IMPACT - Students: knowledge on their own culture and others’; transversal and linguistic competence improvement; better school-results, etc. - Families: harmony days, meetings, students’ accommodation, etc. - Teachers: new educational systems, values and pedagogical approaches, improvement of their linguistic competences. - Schools: new European bonds, development of resources and materials, etc. - Town and region: promotion of the places, European identity, etc. LONG-TERM BENEFITS The didactic sequences or tasks will be used in future academic years. Its dissemination will allow other teachers to use them in their context. Friendship and teaching bonds for future projects.
