By the project of ‘’FluENcy Counts A Lot Through ICT’’, as a foreign language based school, we aimed our students to have the opportunity to speak English fluently with confidence in a cooperative and collaborate learning environment since the lack of language competence is one of the main barriers to participation in European systems.We thought that speaking at least one foreign language has a prominent role among the skills that would help our students to find opportunities for the labour market. To achieve these goals, ELT department of our school, consisting three ELT teachers involved in this project and they were eager to improve their linguistic competence and to enhance their professional knowledge of new student-centered teaching approaches supported by using their tablets inside/outside the classroom,gained knowledge of the English and collegues’ education systems and to gain a more European perspective.
The course about developing oral fluency was for teachers working with pupils aged 11-19 years. The 2 week course comprised 14 sessions (35 hours) of classroom tuition. By the activities with the emphasis on oral fluency and generating, the participants increased confidence in speaking and they gained a greater awareness of intonation and phonology patterns, colloquial English, classroom language, areas of language according to needs, vocabulary etc.They were encouraged to consider the techniques used in these sessions and to adapt the techniques to suit their classes at home.
At the end of the project,The participants of the training course developed professional competence especially on oral fluency and improved competence of the use of colloquial English.They increased intercultural awareness.To improve knowledge of other European educational systems.They insighted of differences and similarities of educational systems among European countries, resulting in a better understanding and respect.They expanded their understanding of new teaching and learning methods to obtain higher educational quality and picked up ideas from other participants from other countries which they can incorporate and transfer into their own practice.
