The main need of our school is the improvement in the teaching of the English Language. It is a fact that Maltese students can perform much better in international studies so there has to be a shift in the way of teaching and learning in order to help students obtain higher order cognitive skills. This can be achieved if teachers of English use new techniques in their teaching and by focusing on teachers themselves and providing them with new methodology. The need for teacher training arises from the fact that teachers should provide opportunities to increase verbal interaction in classroom activities to help ensure that students are exposed to as many different types of authentic language as possible. This can be achieved if teachers are confident enough to use the language. Another major need of our school is internationalisation which our school has little experience of. Improvement in the quality of internationalisation could be done by enabling teachers' future collaboration with their professional peers. Our school therefore needs qualified staff that can streamline curricular elements with an international orientation and also communicate and collaborate with professional partners abroad. The school feels the need to link its students to others in different countries thus our staff members need to acquire the necessary skills. The main aims of the project, which is a methodology and language course for overseas teachers in the UK, are to help teachers exchange experience with other colleagues and to improve their teaching and language abilities. The aims of this course will be achieved through the course objectives which are to extend teachers’ teaching techniques, develop linguistic confidence, use various teaching techniques, create new activities and resources to deliver effective lessons and to enhance future collaboration amongst teachers. Different interactive and communicative activities will be used in this course to stimulate participants’ creativity and inventiveness. Participants will be encouraged to share their own ideas and experience, and there will be opportunities to take part in the school’s social and cultural programmes. Participants will have the opportunity to observe classes with learners in various fields. Cooperative learning, workshops, field visits, lectures, seminars, peer learning and role-plays are methods that will be used during the project. Mariella Farrugia has been appointed as a teacher of English in 1997 after having graduated with honours from the University of Malta. She has taught in this school since her appointment and is currently responsible for the teaching of Form 5 classes preparing them for the MatSec certificate. She has been appointed as Head of Department for English in 2010 and actively assists the Head of School in ensuring the good professional practice, standards, and quality of teaching and learning of English through proper dialogue with the class teachers performing all the duties as a head of department. Should she be able to attend the Methodology and Language Course organised by Rex Education Consultancy she would be an example to other teachers as how EU projects are beneficial to one's personal development and encourage these teachers to embark on such projects. The project highlights a large number of skills which will enhance the professional development of the participant and which are essential for the participant to be in accordance with the latest and newest methodologies, standards and techniques in the teaching of English. The participant will exchange her experience with international colleagues and widen her horizon. This will be achieved through the course objectives which include the extension of the participant's contemporary teaching techniques and the development of her linguistic confidence and skills. The ability to use different teaching techniques will help the participant in the aspect of inclusion in education and differentiated teaching. Ms Farrugia will acquire better knowledge of British culture and its educational system and also open doors to teachers' future collaboration with other professionals in different countries. Due to her position, skills and techniques acquired during the course will be effectively disseminated amongst other educators not only in her school but also in other schools. A social network is created in order to continue the participant's cooperation in her professional life. This will result in the improvement of the participant quality of work and will have a direct impact on her current and future students. The project will also have a strong impact on the students considered to be low-achievers and disadvantaged and improve the quality of their life.There will be an impact on the school as well which will implement new strategies and revise the teaching and learning action plan in the school development plan putting on the front burner the outcomes of the project.
