Middleton Primary and Nursery School has 14 classes ranging from Nursery to year 6 (11 years).Since the 2010-11 academic year, the school has been engaged in a partnership project between schools in the Loire-Atlantique region and schools in Nottingham in the United Kingdom. A link has been established with the school Rene-guy Cadou in La Bernerie en Retz in France.Our school is already fully equipped with the latest digital technology and the teaching team would like to take full advantage of the learning tools and resources that have already been developed to reinforce the desire to learn a foreign language and to be open to another culture from overseas. Our mobility activities will enable four teachers to undertake an immersion language and culture course in France and a job shadowing experience at our partner school in Nantes.The four teachers taking part in this proposed overseas visit with this project are totally committed to this proejct. By improving their own language skills and their cultural knowledge and understanding, they hope that this initiative will have a positive impact on their teaching practice. Their particular skills and experiences (with computer technology, languages and nursery-primary transition) put the chosen candidates in a very good position to engage with the project in England and France and to disseminate its different aspects. In addition to improving linguistic and cultural knowledge, the training in the Adobe Connect software which the English partners will be provided with will strengthen the exchange by providing opportunities for interschool communication in real situations.On returning from the mobility activities, the participants’ qualitative and quantitative improvement in their language skills will allow them to teach French with even more spontaneity and skill. The development of collaborative IT projects (e.g. on the eTwinning TwinSpace) will support the IT element of the protect. The provision of refreshed teaching, use of authentic materials and the opportunity to communicate with their peers should also be a source of heightened motivation for the pupils.The teachers will share their enthusiasm both within our own school and other schools in the community, thus widening the impact of the project in the UK and beyond.
