" BESST Study Group" Project is a project, worked out by a Slovak Bilingual Primary school BESST. The school follows 2 curricula, e.i. Slovak national curriculum and the international standards set by Cambridge International examinations. Therefore, the teachers who teach at this school are more challenged to master the language and /or educational process so that the objectives of both curricula are fulfilled. The teachers at BESST are encouraged to use innovative and nontraditional methods in order to handle the educational process. The teachers who are involved in the programme represent different areas of school life. It means English language teachers, English Maths teacher, special educator and a teacher who specializes in overcoming language barrier. We are applying for a 2-year grant so that 7 teachers from primary as well as secondary stage would be given this great opportunity to enrich their professional growth with new teaching methods, tools and competencies. The objectives of our project are :1. To take part in a language course and thus become more confident in speaking, explaining new information and organising pupils. 2. To learn new techniques and methods how to inspire pupils and get them involved in learning 3. To get new information on inclusive learning and learn new techniques to help students with learning difficulties. 4. To get in touch with teachers around the world and possibly start cooperation with other schools in Europe Participants: The selection of the participants has been based on the school current needs.

During the next year our other 3 teachers will participate in the courses for primary schools, stage 1 (year 1 to year 4) to learn about latest teaching trends and ways of inspiring young learners and a Science teacher, who would like to take the opportunity to increase his language skills so that he becomes more fluent and confident in speaking.

We expect that the participants of the programme will bring a breath of fresh air in our methodological approaches, that their language skills get better, that they use the acquired inspiration to motivate their colleagues in their every day effort as well as students in their growth. We also expect that the information obtained by 7 of our teachers will be beneficial for the rest of the staff but also that it will be a motivation for them to grow and participate in similar programmes or mobility opportunities. We are planning to summarize everything we learn in a presentation and organize a course for the rest of our staff, so that the new ideas and information are shared and used in practice. We intend to cooperate with the local and national media to promote Erasmus + and its activities. The target groups will be other teachers, especially the teachers of our school, our pupils, their parents, but thanks to the article in the local newspapers and/ or a local Tv report we will address public too.
