ICT w nauczaniu języków obcych
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The Jadwiga Dziubinska Group of Schools Agricultural Education Centre in Stary Brzesc is a school with a long tradition. For more than 90 years it has been educating and preparing young people to work in the agricultural sector. Along with vocational training general education takes place. With concern for the comprehensive education of our students the idea of the " ICT in teaching foreign languages" has arisen. In 2014 in our institution there have been created bold plans to increase the attractiveness and effectiveness of teaching. The direct cause of the development of these plans was declining students' motivation and weaker Matura exam results. Our activities included areas that are close to young people, that is the internet, computers and foreign languages. In the field of teaching foreign languages we are going to use as much of modern technology as possible. We plan to get our students involved in the practical use of foreign languages by establishing international cooperation with other schools. We have already established such cooperation with a high school in Turkey. The second direction of our international operations is Spain. Together with an agricultural school in that country we are preparing a students vocational trainings exchange project. Another point of our plan is to integrate foreign languages learning with other subjects, that is CLIL. Therefore, within two years, we carried out two educational mobilities for foreign languages teachers and one for a teacher of ICT. The project participants were teachers of ZSCKR in Stary Brzesc. Everyone is creative, open to change, they are aware of the role of ICT skills in the teaching process and the need of improving language skills. To meet the needs of the project participants, our activities focused around methodology courses. For this purpose, the school team of educational mobility was appointed. The needs and plans of the participants were analyzed in order to select the best training. A lot of time was spent on fulfilling tests, questionnaires and activity on e-learning platforms. Certainly, the project has improved and is still improving the quality of education. The teachers, through their own self-improvement have a lot of opportunities to motivate students to greater effort towards acquiring knowledge and they have become a perfect example of the benefits of the ability to communicate in foreign languages. In addition, the project has given an opportunity to diversify teaching methods, which in turn translates into effects of teaching. Educational mobilities have raised the prestige of the school and put it in a row of modern and constantly developing institutions.
