The well-established international mindset of the Friedrich-List-Schule serves as the background for this project, which focuses on the continuing education of its teaching staff. The international-mindedness of the school is reflected in the participation in European projects within the framework of Leonardo-da-Vinci and Erasmus+, as well as in an exchange program with Hesse’s partner state in the USA, Wisconsin. Whereas the focus of these international activities is on the students, this project is aimed at the teaching staff of the Friedrich-List-Schule. The seven participants in this project work both in the full time and in the dual vocational training at this business trade school. Four are English teachers who also teach classes specific to different occupations. They represent different areas, from retail to wholesale and foreign trade to the IT-sector. This is to ensure that the impact on instruction at the Friedrich-List-Schule is as far-reaching as possible. The participants in this project primarily strive to improve their speaking abilities, so that they can impart the most current vocational-specific vocabulary to their students. Additionally, the participants seek to develop their didactic-methodical qualifications, so that they are able to teach modern, goal-oriented lessons that withstand the requirements of today’s job market. Here the focus is on bilingual educational projects and the planning of international educational projects.As a result of this project, the Friedrich-List-Schule expects their staff to become more highly qualified, therefore improving the education of their students.
