“Teachers in the Distance” was an Erasmus+ KA2 project.There were 5 Project participants from five diverse educational institutions from five Middle and Northern European countries: Pärnu Adult Gymnasium from Estonia, Ventspils University of Applied Sciences from Latvia, The University of Information Technology and Management Rzeszów from Poland, KURZY ZEBRA s.r.o. – a private language school from the Czech Republic, Oulu-opisto - a community college from Finland. The participants met in an Erasmus+ contact seminar in Tallinn 2017 and created the initial idea of the project. At the time of planning the project the freedom of movement and its impact to education in the emerging necessity of distant learning was found as the most important factor to dedicate this project to the development of teaching languages in a distant way, to raise the ICT competences of foreign language teachers and to support the lifelong learning of language learners and teachers.As a first step, a large-scale survey of language teachers was conducted in all project partner institutions examining the experience of online synchronous and asynchronous foreign language teaching and various aspects of language teaching. On the basis of this, a methodological manual “Methodology for Online Synchronous Foreign Language Teaching” was completed under the leadership of the Czech partners.The next activity was foreign language lessons between the partners in different web-based conference environments, in which focus was on the possibilities of different environments in foreign language learning. Based on the recordings of the lessons and the research, instructional material on the possibilities, advantages and disadvantages of different web environments (Guidebook for Distant Online Language Teaching) was compiled under the leadership of the Latvian partners.In the middle of the Project Covid-19 pandemic broke out and the changed situation in education brought increased demand for distant teaching and online learning with it. The difference in the current needs of teachers for support and additional material was slightly different in different countries, so the project and its outputs were adapted to the current situation and the needs of the participants. The Partners in Latvia and the Czech Republic prepared translations of the Methodology into Latvian and Czech to use and spread it among the colleagues and partner institutions. Due to lockdown and travel restrictions the project was prolonged and teaching-training activity postponed. As it was impossible to organise a face-to-face training because of the restrictions in Finland for foreign travellers (quarantine for 14 days), the training activity was changed to an online training with the same duration. Led by Finnish partners, a five-day intensive training event took place in January 2021 in various video conference environments with the active participation of 21 teachers from all participating organisations, 170 web tools for language teaching were presented and many of them practised in international groups during the training for teaching different skills. Experiences with using different conference tools for teaching and possible solutions for arised technical problems were gathered.The results of the training activity and all previous materials and experiences were used for preparing the online platform where all materials would be in one place, systematized and updated. Our Finnish partners proposed to create an additional tool browser on the platform. Project partners divided the tasks among each other and all gave their input by the revision of already compiled material, specifying the topics and unifying them in bigger meaningful steps, developing a structure for the self-running online course, specifying the conditions for passing the course and obtaining the certificate, by compiling the texts and revision questions. The technicians from Polish partner implemented the technical solution of the platform with the online course, intuitive search tool for web-based tools and the former created methodological manual and Guidebook, also the translations of the Methodology into Latvian and Czech.On the completion of the project, following results were achieved:increasing of number of online courses and teachers providing online language courses;improvement in the quality of distant language teaching;improvement in the quality of foreign language training in distant language learning by making project’s outputs accessible to all teachers and trainers, by increasing the number of teachers and trainers educated in the use of ICT;creation of solid base for future cooperation and sharing good practices between project partners as well as all project partners and organizations taking part in the dissemination activities;increasing partners’ capacity for future international projects thanks to the lessons learned during this project.
