Preeti Language

Description

"The distinguishing feature of the project is motivating students' interest in learning foreign languages with particular focus on English and thus facilitate their further educational and professional chances on the labour market. It involves participants from schools from Poland (coordinating country), Turkey, Romania, Italy, Spain and Greece. The schools have varied profiles due to different educational systems in the partner countries and were selected according to their expertise. The parnters have agreed to involve students aged 13 - 16.The project will teach students about the history of languages and allow to observe differences and similarities in vocabularies. Part of this work will be done locally within the schools and its effects will be shared during certain mobilities which would further allow to experience the findings in real life situations. Those activities are supposed to combine elements of history, culture taught involving and funny way gaining high interest of the project participants by also involving the use of ICTs and social media. The project is divided into six stages dealing with certain languages - Latin, Turkish, Greek, English, Slavic and extralinguistic communication (secret languages, simplifications and other languages like ""textese"" or whistling language) - and their influence on other languages. English is the most common language for communication in present world. New words appearing nowadays generally originate from that language and together with the globalisation process are quickly adopted in almost all languages and are often received as their natural parts. We can say that the languages have started getting back together as they share more and more common vocabulary. What is more, together with the development of social media and instant communicators people started using lots of abbreviated words, which are often accompanied by pictures called emoticons or more and more frequently so-called stickers. Those are commonly understood by all recipients.The most important objective of this project is to facilitate learning languages by students from all partner schools with particular focus on learning English, which is the project language as well as to develop their teachers' pedagogy within the topic. The unusual approach towards linguistic education proposed in this project promotes and motivates both students to learning and teachers to teaching languages applying an interesting and often funny combination of activities. The idea is to practically show students that languages we use historically have a lot in common and the vocabularies, even if they seem different, are actually quite similar and thanks to having some knowledge of how languages influenced and contributed to the development of other languages can make the teaching - learning process easier and more interesting.Greece, Turkey and Italy are home countries for old languages, which greatly contributed to the languages’ development in the past and now there are plenty of words in all languages we use nowadays. Polish as one of the Slavic languages can also be an example for demonstration of similarities within numerous languages. The fifth language, which is dominating all other languages today is English. It is obvious that it is also the language of electronics (software, devices naming etc.) and those observations guided partners to invite a school having some expertise in English and ICTs (Romania - Colegiul de Informatica). Spanish partner possessing expertise in extralinguistic communication will demonstrate how it is applied in communication process.The project intends to propose a set of involving and motivating activities which can be further applied in the partner schools' curricula and shared with any interested institutions or even be used as a dissemination material at teachers' conferences and shared with other languages' teachers. Each partner will create a script / scenario of the suggested activities and those will be videoed to get a better insight into them. Partners will also create a common multilanguage dictionary showing similarities among languages and their influence on other languages. All project work will require the use of ICTs (online dictionary, researches construction and analyses) which will definitely increase the participants' ICT and other basic skills and is an element directly linked to the open education and innovative practices in a digital era priority. It is an innovative practice to teach languages by comparing their influence on other ones.The partner schools will improve their educational offer and curricula as well as they will increase their importance in local environments.The knowledge and skills acquired within the project are expected to meaningfully influence the students' educational choices in the future as well as their career opportunities, which will be reinforced by the Europass Mobility certificates issued after every project mobility."
