Project TEACHERS' EUROPEAN REFRESHMENT targets 12 teachers of the Tomas Bata Business Academy and Higher Professional School of Business Zlín. It is focused on linguistic, methodological and professional development, which will be gained from the staff training abroad (job shadowing - 3 teachers, participation in structured courses - 9 teachers). The objectives and impact of the project: Methodological courses for the teachers of foreign languages: Development of modern methods, approaches and linguistic progress. Job shadowing/observation period: Improvement of the methodological aspect of the teachers' work, language progress, considerable experience of the second school subject (Mathematics, Physical Education, Literature). What is also expected: Increased ability to help the needs of the disadvantaged (immigrants and pupils with educational difficulties) and comparison of the school curricula. Teachers on languages courses: Improved foreign language competences. All groups will gain enhanced interculutral awareness, better awareness of the EU citizenship and understanding to other cultures and also personal development. We have named the project TEACHERS' EUROPEAN REFRESHMENT because we expect the teachers to come back with a great deal of energy and full of new ideas.
