Through the project "Increasing methodological and didactic competence for language teachers" we would like as many as possible (up to 12) of the language teachers at Melhus Upper Secondary School over a two year period to be able to attend methodological and didactic courses in countries relevant to the language that they teach.Foreign languages are compulsory and all pupils have the right to adapted education based on individual qualifications. All students do not however have the same qualifications and motivation which leads to daily methodological and didactic challenges. We have teachers with solid skills within their subject, but wish to increase their pedagogical competency. The aim is that our teachers will further develop their methodological and didactic repertoire so that they can best facilitate good education for all students regardless of their qualifications.Each teacher's increased expertise will through sharing lead to increased competence for the entire language department at our school, and potentially other colleagues both at our school and in the county. As a school we will grow from increased competency which will strenghten our educational profile.We hope that increased methodological and didactic competence among our teachers in the long term can lead to more pupils improving their competence and, as a result of that, their final grade in foreign languages, and that the percentage of students who pass the exam increases.After this project is finished we would like to develop it further and create a larger project which will involve management and a greater part of the pedagogical staff.
