  2. Material development on ISUS German material

  3. What did we achieve until now? • team building • revision of former syllabus and material • creation of new syllabus for level 1 to 3 • development of new units 1.01 to 3.20

  4. Challenges in phase 1 • to build a reliable team • to become acquainted with the ISUS platform • to deal with the original German syllabus and the material

  5. Challenges in phase 2 • to recruit new developers • to create a new syllabus on level 2 and 3 • to keep the developers up to date • to be in time with the documentation (for the developers and for the project)

  6. Team Building • Phase 1: (November – December 2011) • the coordinator had to get experience in the development work as well • an experienced trainer left the team • coordinator and a trainer with less experience had to develop the 10 units • final dead line could not be met

  7. Team Building • Phase 2: (January to March 2011) • 2 new developers from the beginning of February • one trainer always met the dead lines • one trainer did not meet the dead lines, but did very good work • final dead line could not be met • coordination has to be more effective

  8. Acquaintance with the platform • Phase 1: • introduction through our English trainers • trial lessons with ISUS (coordinator) • login (coordinator) • Phase 2: • introduction through coordinator • trial lessons with ISUS (did not work out) • login

  9. Revision of the Original Material • grammarprogression, vocabularyandspeakingactivitiesare not relatedto German as a Foreignlanguage • grammarandvocabulary do not fit together

  12. Creation of the Syllabus • Coordinator delivers the grammar progression and a list of vocabulary and speaking issues for the next level • developers only stick to the grammar progression • cooperation with our developers concerning the vocabulary, speaking and writing activities

  13. Creation and Development • syllabus is kept up to date by the coordinator • new version is sent out to developers before they are going to start with new lessons

  14. Revision of the Material • Original German units: • no grammar progression • grammar explanations not adequate for the level • most of the activities far to difficult for the level • most of the activities were not authentic and not interesting for the learner

  15. Outstanding Challenges • to deal withthefeedbackfromtheuniversityofUlster • changinganduploadingtheunitsoflevel 1 • toget an overviewof all thewordsandstructurescovereduntilpresent
