The title of our project is, 'foreign language competence - a key qualification'What lies behind the project is the fact that - in our opinion - the best results in foreign language training are obtained in the country where the language is spoken. Secondly, we think that only in speaking the language of the colleagues from foreign schools, are we very well capable of understanding the other one and working together with him.We aim at widening the linguistic, didactical and pedagogical competence of our foreign language staff. As for the other participants, we aim at fitting them with a good linguistic knowledge and we hope to get new contacts to colleagues abroad.We want to send a total of five participants abroad: one member of the head department to England (language course) as well as one foreign language teacher to France (teacher training) and one teacher to Spain (language course).As a result, we would like to have an increase in foreign language speaking competence.We expect that the teacher training in didactics and methodology will increase motivation and success of our pupils in the long run. And we expect that the other participants in this project will be able - due to their newly acquired linguistic competence - to handle well equipped our present and future international projects.
