Movilidad Personal EOI de Madrid-Jesús Maestro
Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project presented by the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Madrid-Jesús Maestro is based on an analysis of the context in which its educational activities are carried out. The EOI Madrid-Jesús Maestro is a public institution of adult education and youth over 16 years teaching 22 languages from A1 to C1 of the CEFR levels. Students who attend courses are mainly university students, working professionals from different fields and people who wish to learn or improve their knowledge of languages as part of their lifelong learning process. The teaching approach in our centre has a highly practical dimension. The methodology is based on the coordinated development of the four basic skills and a use of different, contemporary varieties of the language. In order to achieve this goal, teaching in the classroom actively uses the technologies of information and communication. Several courses on the use of the language for specific purposes have also been added to the curriculum in the past years. Based on this background, we have established three main areas of improvement for the institution: - Didactic and language updating. - Use other artistic, humanistic and scientific disciplines in language teaching. - Strengthened use of information and communication technologies in language teaching. The participants are three teachers from various departments with solid language and academic preparation and a teaching experience of more than five years. In their daily teaching, they already incorporate some of the elements listed above and wish to update their knowledge and to share them with other teachers in their departments and the rest of colleagues in the school. The activities proposed are three mobilities included in the KA1 Mobility project for adult education staff with a duration between 6 and 13 days to attend courses in France and the United Kingdom. Teachers will follow the courses selected and, once they have returned to Spain and academic course 2014-2015 has started, they will have an opportunity to present the results of these meetings in their respective departments. In a second instance the information will be shared with all school teachers in faculty meetings. In a third phase, the participating teachers could also share their experiences with all teachers of the Comunidad de Madrid through the teacher training activities organized by CRIF Las Acacias (Regional Teacher Training Centre) and various CTIF (Local Teacher Training Centre) of the region where they could participate as speakers/lecturers. The benefit of the activities mentioned in this project can be seen at different levels. At a first level, it will reflect on the individual teacher training; at a second it will have an impact on the teachers and their students in their groups in their teaching; and at a third level which will include all members of the educational community and the school as a whole.
