11. PROJECT MAIN FOCUS: Our project permits teachers and students to discover the strength of working together, learning from each other and, moreover, provides all participants the possibility of exchanging experiences. The purpose of sharing new views is to produce enthusiasm and make the learning-teaching process an enjoyable experience for all. The contribution of schools from five different countries will motivate the participanting students in the project to continue learning in order to improve their language and ICT skills, because most of the communication between students and teachers will be based upon modern technologies (e-mails, video conferences, chat rooms). It will have an extra benefit using a foreign language in a real context, away of the limits imposed by a text book.

12. EVALUATION: The entire project will be monitored as the main duty of the coordinating school. The whole project team in all schools will be responsible for ensuring that the progress of the project is not endangered at any time. They will regularly report via e-mail to the coordinating school (every participating institution will prepare reports that will contain the records of experience, a short description of obtained results and influences on students, institution). Teachers will meet online using communicators such us Skype or Windows Messenger at the end of each month and discuss the progress and evaluate achievements. The presentation of final products to the school assembly and placing them on the schools' magazines,web pages will be another means of evaluating the quality of the project. During the school visits (mobilities), teachers will organise "work sessions" and talk about their impressions and experiences from carrying out the project. On their return, they will make the written evaluation of the visit and share it with partners. Students, parents and other teachers from all participating schools will be encouraged to take an active role in documentation and evaluation of the results achieved by the activities involved in the project. The main way of evaluation is observation if the expected results are obtained. As our project is focused on pupils and their development, at the end of each project year, we are going to prepare a quiz for them. Similar questionnaire will be prepared for the participating teachers.

13.
