PROJECT
FINISHED
The project is aimed at management and teaching staff - teachers of foreign languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Swedish-second language German). The teachers are mainly teachers of two foreign languages but have been teaching only one of the languages over the past years and would like to refresh their second language. A second group form young teachers who would like to enhance their chances for career promotion and teachers after their maternity leave. A third group are teachers with reasonable experience who need to catch up with new development in foreign language teaching. A growing demand for Slovak language courses to foreign students at our school also requires teachers´ability to speak their students´ languages at least on basic communication level.
