The project is called `Multilingualism as a tool for employment and understanding in Europe´ and it aims to cover the needs for professional training by the teachers at the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas in Albacete, Spain, the largest in the region of Castilla-La Mancha. With a growing number of people who demand learning a foreign language effectively, the teachers feel the need to update our knowledge and expertise and adapt to the times and new challenges focusing on language improvement, teaching methodology, use of technology, improvement in the testing techniques, fostering critical thinking and better understanding of the culture or customs in the country where the foreign language is spoken, with an aim to avoid conflict and misunderstandings. As a result, the school management has taken this initiative to make it possible for a considerable number of staff to do some training courses abroad. In order to carry that out, the courses will be distributed throughout the year, but with more concentration of activitues during the summer as there is a wider choice of courses and it will cause less disruption in our school. The first priority to choose a particular course or organization has been how it responds to the staff needs and how recognized globally that institution is. All the activities will be monitored before, during and after the project. The teachers involved will have to answer a questionnaire to check whether the objectives have been reached and take part in a workshop or seminar in order to share the outcomes. We will be using validation tools like Europass and we will try to create contact networks with other European institutions for future collaboration (strategic alliances, for example), which will improve the process of internationalization of our school. Communication will be a key element in the project between the National Agency representatives, the shool teacher training coordinator, the teachers involves, the school management team and the foreing institutions where the courses will take place. The use of modern technology will be necessary for effective communication: email, videoconference or Skype, Whatsapp and telephone. The outcomes of the project will also be shared with other colleagues of the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas as well as other teachers from different fields in education, and the participants will be encouraged to participate in workshops, congresses or conventions with other teachers. The participants will take part in a series of activities which will deal with students' academic results, changes in attitudes by teachers and students, changes in cultural clichés and improvement in language skills. The impact of the project will be enormous due to the large number of students at our school. The improvement in the teaching methodology or knowledge acquired by the teachers in the courses abroad will help our students to find a job, get a promotion or enhance their opportunities to find work abroad. We should highlight that the Eis a state-run school that gives equal opportunities to all kinds of citizens from different walks of life. The mid and long-term impact will be enormous too: more developed language and teaching skills by our students who teach at bilingual schools in Spain will have an impact on their primary and secondary school pupils. Some impact that is more difficult to quantify will be a better understanding of foreign culture and way of doing things, which will help us reach one of the key objectives in the EU: more mobility by European citizens within Europe and more equal opportunities for all.
