The Language School of Teruel (EOI) is a State School which is run by the Regional Government of Aragón. Our school belongs to a wide net of language schools around Spain. Since it was founded in 1986 our school has been teaching English, French, German and Italian languages. It is at the service of those citizens who live in the capital city of Teruel and in the nearby area. Our aim is that our students acquire all the necessary communicative skills in order to face up with the social and professional challenges in the XXI century.Our School´s main objectives are:- To encourage the school teaching staff to acquire new teaching methods so that our students are able to learn to manage English, French, German and Italian languages for professional reasons, as well as for establishing economic, educative and cultural relationships with other European citizens and institutions.- To collaborate with public and private institutions in our town, as well as with some local businesses, primary, secondary and vocational schools in order to encourage them to set some boundaries and connections with other colleagues from the European Union, which allow them to work together and also to exchange their working experiences.- To show our students the importance of living actively in Europe and the relevance of managing languages in order to achieve communication.- To design new school materials and resources adapted to the European social and working demands and to share them with other local, national and European schools.ACTION PLAN1. NEEDS:We will do our best in order to fulfil our needs as regards:- European dimension: by establishing boundaries with other European schools, businesses and institutions that help our students carry out new enterprising, tourist and educative projects.- Teaching methods acquisition: by making use of new materials, resources and activities.- Communicative competence: by acquiring communicative skills in English French, German and Italian languages.2.

Thanks to this project they will have the chance to acquire the teaching skills and methods which are necessary to satisfy our students´ demands at a professional level in a more and more globalized society. All the participants are highly involved with our students´ communicative needs and are qualified to create new school materials, share their experiences and work in a team.3.
