Study Visit in Adult Learning
Start date: Dec 31, 2015, End date: Dec 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Maltepe Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi is the sending organisation where as Shadows Professional Development Ltd(In association with Richard Language College) is the course provider partner of this KA1 project for adult education staff mobility. As a result of needs analysis of the sending school there appeared a deficiency of linguistic teaching methods (special for adult education). The solution was more being involved in Erasmus Plus KA1 and KA2 projects under the umbrella of adult education. This course,produced as a result of a pilot course arranged by the British Council Prague, the Educational Institute of Central Bohemia(VISK), Jazyky v zahraničí s.r.o. and Shadows Professional Development Ltd., was discovered. This project supports a well-programmed study visit ( 3 days) as an opportunity to get a better view and a broader understanding of processes within the European Union. The programme is designed to provide a collaborative and stimulating environment for learning, offering an overall view, which, by showing contrasts, reflects European policies, whilst strengthening the capacity of our administrative staff to perform effectively. The study visit is aimed at Head Teachers, Deputy Heads, School Management and Senior Teaching Staff as well as European Programme Coordinators or members of staff involved in Erasmus+ activities working under the umbrella of adult education. Three approciate partners will be chosen according to the criteria meeting the requirements of the study visit. These 3 participants will be expected to introduce Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) into the school as follows: one could be through Teacher Development, another through Curriculum change, the third one through future E+ training for the staff. This project will increase not only participating staff personal competences, skills and sensitivities, but will impact upon our students' foreign and native linguistic competences and cultural sensitivity to diversity. Richard Language College (RLC) is a specialist adult CLIL training establishment, so school visit will be to RLC. 3-day Study Visit Aims • Enhancement of participants’ skills in English • Raising cultural awareness • Working internationally in a more efficient way • Sharing of Best Practice in school leadership • Effective processes of learning / teaching • Ensuring sustainability through the Erasmus+ programme.
