Applicant organisation: Government of Lower Franconia, in cooperation with the Government of Upper and Middle Franconia. The project was published in FIBS, which meant that all teachers at vocational schools in Bavaria have had access to the project and were asked to apply for it. The need for the project was a result of different developments: 1. The world of work is constantly changing, which, as a result, also affects nomenclature terminology. As this also has an effect on the native language, it necessarily needs to be addressed in language teaching as well. As English is, by curriculum, a compulsory subject in almost every type of vocational school in Bavaria, English language teachers permanently have to teach new technical terms. 2. Due to the fact that a lot of teachers at vocational schools, especially in the industrial and technical education, have rather studied another natural scientific subject instead of English, there is a shortage of well-qualified English teachers in that field. Therefore teachers are often obliged to teach English though they lack the formal requirements. 3. Having evaluated the Leonardo-Projects in 2011 and 2012, it was the participating teachers` burning desire to gain a deep insight into the everyday life of a British company. The reasons being: - the participants experience the authentic British working environment. The experience will then be passed on to their students - the teacher's needs referring to language knowledge and technical terms can be adressed in much greater detail within a working environment than within an ordinary English course. 4. The one-week language course that the teachers attended before their work-placements included contents that are part of the curriculum as well as general language skills, such as writing business letters, English literature etc. Partner Organisation: Confluence Scotland, Edinburgh, UK. The organisation was involved with the realisation of language courses, with the placement in operations side companies, with organisational issues the participants had during their stay in Edinburgh and the selection of accomodation in guest families. The two-week project took place from 19th of October 2014 to 01st of November 2014. The first week was a language course to reactivate the participans' language skills and to prepare the participants for the following work-placement. The second week was be a one-week work-placement in a company that is particularly relevant to the teacher´s specific field of teaching. The project was taking place in Edinburgh/ UK (first week) and in companies in and around the Edinburgh region (second week), which was repeated with a second group of teachers in 2015.
