PROJECT
FINISHED
Since 2004 English has been an integral part of foreign language learning in primary education in the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. The first week of the two week course comprises intensive language training with native speakers which will bring new language competence. We wish to achieve a higher quality and increased efficiency alongside linguistic variety, thus improving the classroom teaching experience. Language competence and methodological variety will be increased and encouraged. The teachers partaking will profit from the experience in England and can transfer their gained knowledge into their own classroom. Experiences gained in the English school system set-up will, if possible, be transferred into the everyday scenario of schools in the Rems-Murr region.Since the beginning of the school year 2015/16 “inclusion” has been part of school life in Baden-Wuerttemberg. In England this has been in practice for decades. The project allows impulses and ideas to be gathered by the participants which can then be applied in everyday school patterns in Germany.All-in-all, 20 teachers from the participating primary schools of the Rems-Murr region will travel to England to attend the two week course. The first six days will be spent in an individually-planned language training course with the English project partner, an established language school. The following 6 days will be spent sitting-in on classes in primary schools from within the network of the English project partner.The participating teachers will become multipliers for all the primary schools in the Rems-Murr region (70 in total). Implementation of the project enables an improvement in the quality and the effectiveness of the pedagogical and linguistic skills of the teachers.A sound basis for international awareness in the schools and at the regional education authority will be achieved and should become an integral part of everyday work.Participation in the project is offered to all primary schools in the Rems-Murr region. The participants are chosen based on the submitted application and the selection will be conducted by the co-ordination team. The co-ordination team comprises a consultant for English in primary schools, a consultant for inclusion in primary schools, a representative of the regional education authority and the project leader.The choice as to who will participate will be made based on pedagogic and didactic needs, experience with English tuition on a primary level and the willingness to extend the knowledge gained in the project to other teachers in the region.With this project the regional education authority expects to achieve an extension not only of language skills but also of the methodological and didactical competence of the teachers. In addition, there is the added value of the intercultural aspect.Further added-value and the sustainability of the project lie in the fact that the personal learning advancement (language fluency) is directly coupled with the intercultural classroom experience (Job-shadowing) and, as such, can find immediate application in the everyday classroom scenario. Furthermore, the experience will be multiplied through the schools in the region and will thus lead to application on this level.
