Speaking English practically is seen as a problem in the countries such as Turkey,Bulgaria,Romania,Italy and Poland where English is taught as a foreign language by English teachers. According to results of the test, applied on the partner schools' 9th grade students; Hadim MTAL has 36,3%,Toma Socolescu has 54.3%, Poland has 63,7%, Italy has 45,3%,and my school 52% .The percentage of students' success shows that there is a problem in speaking skills and we should focus on this in the project.
Our first aim is to develop speaking skills and foster self-confidence when it comes to looking for employment in a foreign environment.
We also want to consider the different historical contexts and cultural approaches to work across the countries involved in the project.
We think it is already the world our students live in, and we hope this project will contribute to help them move around in this environment.
