Working Group 1 Workshop group 1 Marja-Liisa Helenius, Finland Marina Pavlova, Estonia Linda Tukisa, Latvia Sarah-Jane Pretty, UK (project partner) Alberto de Sanctis, Italy (project partner) Karin Kronika, Austria (project partner) Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
MOST USEFUL PRODUCT • The exercises were the most useful as a practical situation for teachers and the glossary takes a lot of work out of the equation and is very useful as a background. • The teaching exercises can be used on any course, lots of variety, and they can be edited, pasted, adapted. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
The exercises are great because you don’t have to reinvent the wheel – the lesson plan is already done for you. • The glossary would be a good tool for translation, too! (So not just for teachers!) Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
USE IN YOUR OWN ORGANISATION • With dissemination and marketing the project will continue. The guests think that they may use these materials. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
POTENTIAL CHANGES • The group recommends that there should be a link to interactive online materials because at the moment the activities can only be downloaded/printed. • The link, for example, between the dialogue exercises and the spoken dialogues on the website should be referenced. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
POTENTIAL CHANGES • There could be a list of all the exercises with links on the pdf on each title page to take you straight to the exercise you want on computer. Perhaps the LMS could offer that. This would reduce trawling through 155 pages of excercises – so would be a filter system. Perhaps order by level or category. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
POTENTIAL CHANGES • Needs to be more user-friendly in general. Suggestions that progress analysis could be included in the materials – how are the students doing. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
CLIL • CLIL has been applied and known but not officially implemented. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
SUGGESTIONS • social – networking via Twitter, Facebook page creation and sent to people to share/recommend; sharing with colleagues. Contract number: 2009-1-NO1-LEO05-01015
FURTHER COMMENTS The language learning activities and the Glossary is not just in English, it’s also in other languages, which is useful because not just English is needed. For example, Russian is one of the most needed languages in Estonia, Lativa and in Finland. Useful for translation work, reference tool and to use in other sectors of tourism.
