The project's impact in the schools
could be:
Learning foreing
languages is, at the same time, the best way of developing mutual
respect and tolerance, of opening to different cultures and of
improving one's opportunities by studying, travelling, working or
doing business within the enlarged European Union and beyond, in a
phase of accelerated globalisation of the economy.
The capacity of
being understood is a central element of European citizenship. The
good knowledge of a common language is an essential feature of that
‘Unity in diversity’ which is the European Union.
It will give
students a feeling of the economic value of foreign languages, and
will establish or reinforce visible links with the labour world
It will promote
‘learn how to learn’ skills to the students that will enable them to
keep developing their linguistic competencies after leaving school.
Transform the
will to work with ICT into a widely spread and efficiently used
practice.
Integrate ICT
utilization into the school’s overall strategy as a catalyst for
changing teaching styles.
Defeat the
reluctance from some teachers to adopt new methodologies versus well
established traditional methods, developing a more effective and
attractive pedagogy. |
