Business Economics Language Learning Young people take care of their future: A critical comparative survey in Europe
This project will add to pupils’ basic life skills development (life skills: economic literacy, language learning, IT competence, knowing how to learn etc).We want to find new opportunities for our pupils to learn foreign languages by offering CLIL in various fields (economics, marketing, business, ethics) and to be in touch with new technologies ( e.g. book-keeping, accountancy based on computerprograms) through an interchange. Pupils might work with case studies (price-fixing, marketing for products, market-pricing, global competition) and task sheets in training or junior firms in groups and on their own in order to find out economic, social, legal, and cultural differences among countries with regard to issues that might arise in the course of the project. Pupils should also recognize the importance of ethical aspects concerning economic processes e.g. fairtrade and sustainable development. They should be able to draw comparisons of short-term profit with sustainable business practice and point out differences in the countries. Pupils will do research using the internet. During the project, pupils will create an interactive home page through which they will be able to exchange and share their experience and information and through that find out about differences and similarities in Western and Eastern Europe as well as about how their know-how might be transferred to other countries. They will also be able to post short articles on the website. In the end, pupils will develop material (e.g. questionnaires, worksheets) autonomously which is to be regarded as a resource or a tool that they will be put in the hands of others. To sum up, it is the objective to create a new concept of intercultural awareness and language application in the field of economics.
