Pupils start learning English in Year 1. The school looks for innovative, creative and committed teachers who are willing to continuously upgrade their pedagogical education and to devote to personal development. Project objectives:- send two teachers abroad (the UK) for the purpose of personal and professional development, - improve the teaching and learning of languages and promote the EU’s broad linguistic diversity and intercultural awareness,- acquire knowledge, skills and competences in the light of current trends in methodology contributing to the development and modernization of the school, - increase the motivation of project participants,- disseminate acquired competences towards other educational staff, students and general public.The number and profile of participantsTwo participants have been chosen by the school – Mgr.

They will also be encouraged to reassess their 'teacher beliefs and attitudes' in the light of current trends in methodology. They will also be more competent and confident users of English.As a result of attending the course Teaching English through Multiple Intelligences, the participants will be more knowledgeable practitioners and will acquire new tools they need to reach out to all their students. This course is designed to help teachers understand more about how students learn. The course will bring teachers into contact with recent thinking and approaches to teaching related to Multiple Intelligences. It will enable teachers to be able to adapt the theory of Multiple Intelligence in the classroom. It will also deal with issues of assessment and evaluation. The course will also help teachers reflect on creating a successful climate for learning which, in turn, will enhance their own enjoyment of teaching.Long-term benefits:- greater motivation and satisfaction in everyday work,- internationalization strategy - enhanced cooperation with partners in other countries (eTwinning, other participants of structured courses),- innovative and improved modes of operation towards the target groups,- improved methods and forms of work with pupils.
