Start date: Sep 15, 2016, End date: Sep 14, 2018 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project “Languages – a way to understanding” is based on the educational plan of our school as well as the aims of Erasmus +. It means that we place emphasis on the increase of accuracy and quality of qualifications and teaching skills while trying to respond actively to the present tense political situation in Europe.Our project focuses on three main domains:1. Improvement of teaching competencies in language teaching 2. Multiculturalism and support of the cooperation with foreign schools3. Gaining experience with the integration of children with special educational needsWe want the project to support goals and aims of whole school. We have chosen seven teachers who were selected according to predetermined criteria. These criteria have been met by all the chosen participants who are skilled teachers with an excellent work performance and they are amongst the most experienced educators of our school. Apart from English education some criteria which are focused on teaching other foreign languages and support of teachers of non-language subjects. They may use languages when organising projects, trips, internships or when using CLIL method. The teachers have been selected from the whole pedagogical staff, that means they are both first level and second level teachers. For these reasons the key members of the project are language teachers (English, Spanish and German language), non-language teachers, heads of departments and school management representatives. The teachers will participate in all three offered activities in the framework of the Erasmus programme supporting individual mobility of the pedagogic staff. That means they will attend language and methodology courses focusing on creative teaching students of particular age groups, shadowing at partner schools and subsequently an educational stay which allows teachers to participate in teaching experience at a partner school in the real conditions of the UK educational system.The project will be realised according to the given schedule which is managed by a project coordinator. The coordinator will plan all the activities so that the school schedule will be least affected and on the other hand, these activities should have a great impact on the school development according to the project aims. Optimisation of the funds which ensure the course and travel costs are also amongst the program coordinator competencies in cooperation with the school economist.Another important criterion is pupils’ meeting living languages within international projects and trips abroad. The development of teachers’ communication skills is very important also for implementing and organizing these activities. Good knowledge of foreign languages is also crucial for the management of the school, for their communication with native speakers who teach at the school, with parents of bilingual children and children from other countries and with foreign school partners.Understanding cultural differences will contribute to the mutual respect and tolerance which are very important in today's complicated period of migration crisis. We believe that this project will help all our pupils to feel good at school regardless of their nationalities or other differences.The project will also contribute to a better understanding of inclusive education. Teachers will acquire a real picture of how it is possible to implement the inclusion, how a teacher cooperates with their assistant, and what problems we may face. We can also acquire recommendations for how to solve these problems. By means of this shadowing and educational stay at our partner school the management of the school will acquire a real pictureof how inclusion is carried out in other EU countries. They will be able to compare this experience with the experience they will acquire during shadowing by the Portuguese management at our school or during informal meeting of the school management in a Maltese school during the language course. This experience will contribute to better mastering of the planned inclusion by the school management in the environment of a Czech school.Through this project we would like to contribute to raising the prestige of pedagogical work which is very demanding and like a number of other professions it requires constant self-education and following of the latest trends.The project will be realised according to the given schedule which is managed by a project coordinator. The coordinator will plan all the activities so that the school run will be the least affected and on the other hand, these activities should have great impact on the school development according to the project aims. Optimisation of the funds which ensure the course and travel costs are also amongst the program coordinator competencies in cooperation with the school economist.
