ULUSLARARASI ETWINNING PROJEMİZ ETKİNLİKLERİNE BAŞLADI
We aim to help our students improve awareness of other cultures and see the differences and similarities between the cultures. While exchanging information, they will enhance their learning of English via fun activities. We would like to open a window to the world of others. We will share information about food, drinks, songs, gestures and tales. Students will be involved in introducing their cultures orally in order to practice their speaking skills. They will prepare some slideshows or videos for the process of the week's chosen subject .They will have influence on leading this project by choosing the subtitles of topics via polls.
Enhancing cultural awareness.
Developing speaking and reading skills.
Improving communicative competence.
Increasing self-confidence.
Encouraging students to cooperate and collaborate in international groups.
Stimulating students' curiosity.
Learn about diversity.
Using English as Lingua Franca.
Founder and Co-founder will plan the project together sharing responsibilities and lesson plans.
The project will start in April and end in May. There will be two online meetings; one at the beginning as an introduction to the project and one at the end. The two meetings will be between 2 classes from Italy and two from Turkey.The project will be learner-centred. Pupils will be involved from the beginning, taking part in all the activities. They will be asked to give presentations in order to share ideas and stories concerning their culture and to learn more about the foreign culture. They will record some videos of their working process, too.
At the end of the project each class will prepare a PowerPoint presentation showing their experience. We expect our students to be more fluent in their speaking skills, to be fluent at holding conversations, and more aware about cultural diversity.
