Yetişkinlere Yönelik Yabancı Dil Eğitiminde Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerinin Kullanımı
Start date: Dec 31, 2015, End date: Dec 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our institution, which is Middle East Technical University (METU), offers foreign language education to adult learners at the School of Foreign Languages (SFL) in Ankara, Turkey. This project, which has been prepared by our institution, is about the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in foreign language education. The project aims to enable the instructors who are involved in adult education to get education about this field in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain. It is expected that our instructors will learn how to use ICT in foreign language classes and improve their digital competences. The number of instructors who are going to participate in this project is 10. Those participating instructors will be selected according to the criteria which have been determined by the Directorate of SFL. All these participants, who teach mainly English and other foreign languages to adult learners and METU students, are actively involved in adult education programmes and they will take part in this project if they volunteer to do so. Our institution, which is the applicant and sending organisation, is in charge of applying for the mobility project, signing, managing the grant agreement, reporting and selecting staff and professionals active in the field of adult education and sending them abroad. The receiving organisations are in charge of receiving foreign adult education staff and offering them a programme of activities, and organising all these activities. After the project has been approved and the grant has been offered to our institution, our institution will contact the receiving organisations and share the information about the number and the names of the participants with them. After this, a formal registration letter will be sent to the our institution by the receving organisations. Later, a seminar which gives information about the issues such as travel, accommodation, travel/health insurance, visa, course providers and courses will be offered to the participants by the contact person of our institution. After the participants have attended the courses, they will present a written report to the Directorate of School of Foreign Languages, deliver a conference presentation/seminar or a workshop and/or share their knowledge and experience on blogs, wikis and social networking sites. Thus, all our instructors are expected to benefit from this transmission of knowledge and experience. Furthermore, our staff will meet their colleagues from European countries and will be able to compare and contrast the curriculum and the materials and tools used with the ones in their own teaching contexts. In this way, they will learn how to use and incorporate new technologies into the curriculum. Thus, the participants are expected to contribute to the curriculum development and the strategic plan of SFL. Moreover, our staff will be able to enhance the intercultural interaction with their European counterparts and raise their cultural awareness. As a result, in the long term, these participants are expected to generate ideas about the Strategic Partnership projects and carry out those projects with their European counterparts.
