English for Erasmus+

methodology

Are you writing or managing Erasmus+ applications but are worried about your English skills? Then this course is for you! In 7 days, you will learn how to deal with the English language in Erasmus+ applications, how to communicate with your partners effectively and how to report your project’s results to your National Agency.

 

Throughout this course, we’ll explore the fundamentals of English writing focused on the needs of an Erasmus project.  All course activities are designed to help you write clearly and get top marks in your Erasmus+ application and final reports.

 

It leads to a Level 7 EQC Certificate, accompanied by a Europass Certicicate Supplement with 10 transferable ECVET points.

 


Course Objectives

At the end of this course you will be able to:

– read the Erasmus+ guide effectively

– use the Erasmus+ guide and other EU key literature for linguistic inspiration

– write with clarity

– edit yourself

– edit other people’s work

– write effective emails

– customize your writing style to the different documents of an Erasmus+ project life-cycle

– use ICT tools that make your writing life easier.

Participants from different European countries will have the opportunity to discuss their teaching experiences and consider potential future cooperation between their schools or organisations.


Methodology

The main aspect of the course is to promote collaboration between participants. Lessons will be held in our centre’s classrooms and computer lab, as well as outside. Our approach is to base the learning process on practical rather than theoretical knowledge. The course is designed on active learning methods and, at the end of the course, participants should be able to use the taught techniques effectively.


Preparation

Every participant will have to fill a questionnaire which helps the trainers to customize the course to better fit their needs.

Attendants will get instructions and material which will help them to be prepared for the courses needs.

Structured study visits

During the course, we also organize study visits to local schools. Normally, we discuss with participants their needs and we organize study visits to cover these needs. Depending on the group, we organize from a minimum of one to a maximum of five study visits. Popular study visits include:

  • A special needs education school
  • A school for adults from disadvantaged backgrounds
  • A school with Roma mainstreaming classes
  • Vocational secondary and post-secondary schools
  • General primary and secondary schools

Each study visit is structured and accompanied by reflective activities. There is no extra cost for these study visits.

Outdoors learning

There are two outdoor learning activities: a gamified tour of the town and a visit to a local historical site. The onsite visit is accompanied by non-formal European history learning activities, as well as activities that link this history to the course topic. There is no extra cost for these activities.

Social programme

There is also an optional social programme for those interested. This programme may include an intercultural night, lunches and dinners at different restaurants, going out for a drink or coffee, or even an extra excursion – if there is time! These activities depend on participant needs and wants, and those participating in them will have to pay for what they choose to eat and drink. If there is an optional excursion, they will also have to pay van costs and any other expenses (e.g. museum tickets)

 

Follow up

The participants will get material which includes information about all the areas covered at the course, lesson plans, all the produced outcomes of the course, useful links and more.

The above material can be freely used by the participants at their school.
