Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2017 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The Erasmus Plus project- " Strategic partnership of schools " KA2 action is planned from 01.09.2015 till 31.08.2017. The partners are IV Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Generała Stanisława Maczka in Katowice, Poland and Anafartalar Ticaret ve Meslek Lisesi in Ankara, Turkey. The main objective of the project is CLIL method ( Content Language Integrated Learning ), which focuses on teaching certain subjects (mainly sciences) in a foreign language and teaching a foreign language in connection with a certain subject. During the project, subjects teachers of both schools ( 14 teachers of both schools ) : biology, physics, IT and history will get methodological training connected with the method and practical preparation to use it in a classroom. In order to be competitive they will also take part in an IT training activity to learn new ways of organizing lessons and to make them interesting to the students ( 14 teachers of both schools ). The language policy of the European Union states that each member of the Union should have the ability to use at least two foreign languages except his native language, thus the idea of bilingualism is met with greater and greater acceptation and interest. The teachers participating in the project will get the opportunity to enlarge their foreign language abilities by participating in a 30-hour English course ( 10 teachers from each institution ), which will give them the possibility to achieve such a level of a foreign language to be able to carry out classes of their subject introducing the specific vocabulary in a foreign language. The young people participating in the project ( 40 students from both schools during the two years of the project ), except having a chance to check their language abilities practically, will be able to get to know their peers from a country with completely different religion, culture and a way of conduct. The activities planned during the project for instance: real-life history and culture lessons, laboratory classes, carrying out experiments together will be an opportunity to break the foreign language barriers and eradicate the culture stereotypes. One of the assumptions of this project is to equalize educational chances of those students who have learning difficulties and are brought up in families facing financial problems. The abilities gained by the students participating will, in the long run, be an opportunity to enlarge social competence and to create proper way of behavior The project is important because of the needs both schools have, in the Turkish school students' success depends only on the school and the way students are motivated by their teachers; in Polish school students need specific vocabulary to be competitive at the universities of their choice and they need greater motivation to improve their way of behavior and school attendance. Thus, the project is a chance for the students of both institutions to start and finish their dream studies and learn how to be motivated to achieve success. Because of this project teachers of both schools will get to know ways of motivating their pupils to achieve better results. During the project students will be able to discuss the scientific issues, connected with ecology, endangered species pollution, or get to know history and culture of the two countries by visiting museums, having lectures with experts in a given field, visiting local universities and in that way practicing different forms of communication in natural situations. This project is also a good opportunity to different forms of activities such as: common sports events, charity actions, culture quizzes creating and updating a web page of the project using modern technology and the gained knowledge. During the realization of this project the following final products will be prepared : the dictionary of content vocabulary and the book of conduct prepared by the students, and the collection of the lessons scenarios of CLIL method prepared by the teachers. The results of the project will be presented during Open Days, Erasmus Plus Days organized in both schools and also during open CLIL classes for the teachers from the region and at the local Erasmus Plus Days organized by the local agencies, the materials will also be presented in the internet page of the project. In the longer perspective the teachers of both institutions will gain European opening to other projects prepared by both institutions, will get better foreign language and modern technology abilities. For the pupils of both schools, it is a chance to be competitive at the job market, not only in their countries, but also in other European Union countries. Both schools want to make other institutions of the regions interested in the idea of bilingualism and to start cooperation and exchange experience with them in this field.
