Description

"The main goal was to develop English communication and we succeeded. The realized objectives -English communication developed with the help of the methods of competency-based teaching, cooperative workforms and using ICT -A large number of students passed the language exam -The involved teachers got trained in Methodology and ICT -Communication in the mother tongue developed -The students got acquainted with their own and the partner schools’ history and culture -The digital competency of students developed Participants -Students with a minimum A2 level of English according to CEFR at the beginning of the project who turn 14 no later than the finishing year of the project. -Teachers of English, ICT, History and mother tongue -Members of the project management – school leaders, colleagues with project experience -Parents -Maintainers of the schools and local governments -Local and regional mediaActivitiesIn the first year we assessed the English knowledge of the students, and they joined a virtual classroom. Parallel to the exam preparation there were 10 skype lessons taught by all five schools. These lessons prepared the students for the interview and short conversations parts of the exam. The syllabus was prepared together but making the lesson plans was the responsibility of the involved teachers. The video recordings, the vocabulary lists, the lesson plans and the syllabus were uploaded to the project pages of the websites of each school so that other teachers and students have access to them. The children put together a presentation about their schools in any digital format for the students of the other schools. As a complementary activity, the students were prepared for the reading part of the exam.The activities of the second year followed the path of the first year, only the topics were different. During the skype/messenger lessons pupils practiced for the transactional dialogues, picture story and making notes parts of the exam. The digital presentations were about the towns where the students live and the complimentary activity was preparing children for the writing part of the exam.In the third year the children prepared for the discussion and radio programme parts of the exam. The platform of online preparation was changed to google classroom and we used MEET for the digital lessons. The topic of the presentations were the participating countries. Instead of practicing for the written part of the exam, the students were to register on the website of Euroexam and take part in the e-learning course available there. Because of the COVID-19 situation it was impossible to organize the ""international"" exam in Poland so this step was left out for all partners except for Hungary.The transnational project meetings were nor financed so the planned tasks such as planning, determining responsibilities, assessment, compiling, analyzing the doccumentation of assessment, planning necessary changes, etc.were realized together with the short term learning/teaching/training activites.There was training for teachers twice during the project, once in Hungary in autumn 2017 and one in Greece a year later. The topic of Euroexam training was the methodology of preparing students and training evaluators of oral exams. Both were available for English teachers in the region and for those meeting the legal requirements, they were accredited. The topic of the second training was methodology of teaching English and using ICT in teaching English. These were be open for other teachers.The students met only twice instead of the planned three times and took part in activities based on the topics of the skype and MEET lessons. They worked in mixed nationality cooperative groups in lessons, took part in individual competitions based on the tasks of the exam and they shared their digital presentations with the other students. The third meeting was to be a sample exam as well, and it would have been followed by the real exam in May. Because of the COVID-19 situation we had to leave out the training and the sample exam instead the Hungarian school compiled a sample exam and it was conducted by the participant schools.The methodology of the project -Thinking together -Constant contact -Careful and well thought out planning -Continuous assessment -Planning the necessary adjustments The realized results and impacts -13 B2 complex exams, 2 B2 oral exams, 43 B1 and 20 B2 ""sample"" exams -Syllabus, lesson plans, wordlists, video recordings connected to the skype/MEEt lessons -Digital presentations -Students’s communication developedboth in English and the mother tongue -Students and teachers’ digital competency and creativity developed -Techers renewed in terms of methodology and are ready to use ICT in their lessons effectively -Students and teachers’ self evaluating ability developed -Students are able to cooperate, make decisions, organize and keep deadlines for a common goal"
