« Open ourselves to Europe and improve English teaching in order to produce a musical show at the Sacré-Coeur school” As we are constantly trying to open to Europe and to teach English in a more consistent and lively manner, the Sacré-Coeur school in Lyon has two objectives: - Setting up a progression programme for the skills which must be acquired by our pupils in English in order to reach the Language Level A1 by the end of primary school. - Produce and perform a musical show in English. In order to complete this plan successfully, and to match the linguistic and educational needs, a teacher has volunteered to train and go in international mobility to London in February 2015 with the training agency SILC. All the pupils of the school and their teachers, supported by the school’s Headmaster and this volunteer teacher, will take part in this project. Working meetings will be organised regularly in order to transmit the information and develop the activities. The planned activities will be divided up into three periods in the year: - from September 2014 to February 2015 : informing the teachers, pupils and families of the school, linguistic and logistic preparation for the teacher who will go to London, organising the progression, and setting up a schedule for the show. - From 9th to 20th February 2015: participation to the SILC’s “methodological and linguistic training in English” for school teachers. - From the end of February to June 2015 : feedback of the received training to the teachers, updating the progression programme, creating a collection of songs, rhymes and sketches in English for the classes, organising a “British day at school” and producing and representing the musical show with all the material. The expected effect is an improvement of English teaching and, consequently, pupils’ improvement in this language, the final performance of the show and the participants and public’s satisfaction. In the long-term, we can thus expect exchanges with other schools, pupils’ wish to pursue in European classes in secondary school and a greater cultural and linguistic opening to Europe from all of the school’s members.
