School Businesses Made in European Languages

Description

Project School Businesses Made in European Languages is a common project of four participating schools from Cyprus, Latvia, Portugal and Slovakia. Schools provide general knowledge. The project comes up with an idea of comprehensive learning of European foreign languages through business and vice versa. Selection of partners will be done very carefully, since all participating schools have to meet certain criteria - from the second foreign languages they teach, which should find their match among the other partners, to ability provide professional, human and technical resources for the project activities. The main project's priorities is supporting individuals in acquiring and developing basic skills and key competences and promoting a comprehensive approach to language teaching and learning. The project also fosters entrepreneurial learning, teaching and learning of foreign languages, international cooperation, development cooperation.In the project we will establish a chain of school business companies. Their business purpose will differ, being mutually complementary so there can be the room for making the most of the transnational partnership, cooperation, sharing results, exchange of a good practice, etc. These businesses will run in cooperation with World wide known non-government organization Junior Achievement active in all EU countries. JA provides the platform for school business activities internationally. The idea is to teach students how to run business in a sustainable way. Also, accompanying business activities will be led in selected foreign languages. Schools in participating countries teach their students the following languages: Latvia – English, German, Russian; Portugal – English, Spanish, German, French; Slovakia – English, Spanish, German, Russian; Cyprus - English, French, Russian. Students will practice things such as teamwork in designing specialized glossaries with vocabulary used in business branches, using general strategies and modern technical linguistic tools for working with specialized texts in foreign languages, practice of spoken business skills such as negotiation, interviewing or proposal making. Participants will work at eTwinning, too. Our ultimate objective is to have a project which would be an umbrella entity including all identified priorities in a meaningful and effective way. Through our project activities for both students and teachers we plan to achieve our goals in a sustainable way including the following key competences and basic skills: TEAMWORK, RESPONSIBLITY, CAREER MOTIVATION, DECISION MAKING, COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP, TRUSTWORTHINESS, RESULTS ORIENTATION, PROBLEM SOLVING, ORGANIZATION, TECHNICAL SKILLS, NUMERACY, LITERACY. There will be always five different students from each country travelling to another hosting country to participate on project activities, together with their accompanying teacher. Also, there will be three teachers who will participate on teacher trainings and one national coordinator (fulfilling different tasks from project management, arrangements, supervision, joining training events and more) who isn't counted in training activities. Hosting teachers will be assigned the task to prepare set of seminars on the selected topics; national coordinator is in charge of checking the preparation to be sure the seminars are of qood quality. Teachers participating in trainings will attend seminars, workshops, jobshadowing, school facilities review, meet local authorities.Short-term joint staff training events will deal with the following topics:- Green and Social Entrepreneurship- Interdisciplinarity- School companies- ICT - Project Based Learning- Work with Underachieving Students- Work with Students from Different Social Background- Cooperation with Local Authorities- Local Schools Networking- NGOs Portfolio in Effective Education - School Business Education- Comprehensive Bilingual Education- Second Foreign Langauges Methods - Business EnglishProject results/tangible outcomes that will be in use after project's end:- second foreign language glossaries used during normal lessons after curriculum adjustments- using business plans drafts for actual school businesses in future- continuation in tradition of cooperation with Junior Achievement- usage of acquired methodologies on subjects- integrating good practices from short joint-staff teacher trainings at local schools- toolkit of activities in the project for further usage in formal and informal educationAfter the project, partner schools will continue doing acitivities that can be done with minimum costs, regularly using resources we normally have, with its capactities, to achieve sustainablity.
