As a certified "Europaschule" the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Unna (GSG) wants to offer its students certificates to make it easier for them to go abroad in order to study or to work there. As we have successfully prepared our students for the CAE exam for several years we now want to offer the CertiLingua Certificate in a project course. Besides we want to make it possible for them to serve an internship or a shorter stay abroad than the usual term or year because many pupils think they cannot afford the time for such a long stay in view of G8. This requires an intensive training of the 9th classes as a preparation for a two-week internship stay. Only if the pupils can speak the language well they will be motivated to go abroad. Furthermore, appropriate contacts in EU countries are of vital importance. Our project´s aims are as follows: Improvement of the pupils´ speaking skills by using new methods and ideas to motivate them to go abroad either for studies or for an internship. Getting in touch and cooperating with new partners concerning school, work and eTwinning. Setup of a project course CertiLingua for upper school classes. In the context of this pilot project we send one teacher to train her thoroughly. This teacher has been teaching English for several years in all classes relevant for the project and in preparation of the CAE exam. She will attend an "ALM-English teacher refresher course" and get to know new methods for teaching and motivating pupils. Furthermore, she will get in touch with teachers from other EU-countries to make some personal contacts for eTwinning and to find potential new school partnerships for the GSG. The new methods in language acqusition (speaking skills) will be implemented into the lessons of one of the 9th classes and the results will be evaluated comparatively after one year. As a long-term effect we want to motivate our pupils and improve their speaking skills to go abroad for work or study more easily. The organisation will be taken over by our school in cooperation with the new partners. Besides, we will set up a new project course (CertiLingua) whose attendents are supposed to profit from the regional and cultural studies and socio-political experiences of our teacher. We hope that tuition can be improved by the new methods of language learning and methodology and give new motivation to teachers and pupils as well as get them interested in an international European life career.
