CLIL - come motivare gli studenti all'apprendimento della lingua Inglese
Start date: Dec 30, 2014, End date: Dec 29, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

THE CONTEXT The IIS "GB Pentasuglia ", is very famous in its territory. It is composed by a Technical school in technology branch and a Lyceum in applied sciences. The Technical school is then divided into four study courses: Chemistry and biotechnology, Electronics and electrical engineering, Computer science and telecommunications, Mechanics and mechatronics. The IIS, in its whole, is attended by about 1000 students belonging to the middle class. The hinterland of the school is rather poor, and many parents are unemployed. The low income doesn’t allow students to travel abroad, giving them poor skills in the English language. THE PROJECT The project comes from the desire, that we have, to bring our students to Europe and to improve their English skills. This goal can be achieved by giving, to teachers, competences and methodologies about the CLIL joined to skills within the framework of Erasmus+ actions. Since knowledge makes collaboration easier, the project aims to provide administrative and accounting knowledge around Erasmus+ framework to the administrative staff of the school. This action will improve its collaboration with teachers that undertake one of the Erasmus+ actions. PARTICIPANTS To achieve the goals it is necessary to raise awareness and then train the teaching and administrative personnel. We will set up a group of 10 teachers, two for each of the four branches of the Technical school and two teachers belonging to Lyceum. Each pair will consist of teachers that steadily teach technical subjects at school. Alternatively, the pair could be formed by a teacher of technical subjects and one that teaches scientific or humanistic subjects. Two units, belonging to the school’s administrative staff, will complete the team. ACTIVITIES The twelve members of the group will attend courses, according to their skills. These courses will be addressed to improve language skills or competences in CLIL or competences in Erasmus+ framework. RESULTS The qualified teachers team will ensure to reach all the users of the school. The two units belonging to the administrative staff will act as facilitators for teachers during the new projects’ designing phase. The team, composed by members with different skills, will be organized in a mesh. It will be the flywheel of future activities of the school in the field of student mobility and action KA2 already scheduled in the immediate future. THE IMPACT All the school’s teaching staff will be reached by the trained teachers group’s expertise so that the design of the future Erasmus+ actions and the school's activities itself, will take on, over time, scientific characteristics that in the past have often been absent bringing about, as consequences, severe and gross errors. LONG TERM BENEFITS The quality of European projects will improve and it will be possible to implement actions, such as student mobility that, to be addressed, requires a responsive and trained class council. This will bring to the internationalization of the school, with obvious benefits for the cultural and relational aspects of outgoing students. They, also thanks to their improved English skills, will be able to better face their careers or their university studies.
