Besides sharing experiences in teaching English as a foreign language, each partner will learn much more about partner country in terms of its own history, geography, education system, tradition, customs and culture so that it will improve the each partner as a European dimension. Also we will contribute to improve the system of foreign language teaching and learning at different levels of education. It will consider particular areas of teaching foreign languages such as curricula, materials, methodology, class management, educational technology and assessment techniques.

The project will be carried out in two parts. One part is related to difficulties, problems and solutions for these problems of English teaching for teachers and education sectors. The second part consists of new methods and ways in teaching English as a foreign language. So it is aimed to raise awareness of new, different and creative methods in teaching English and have a collaboration experience in the international area through meetings, observations, practicing the best application and sharing experiences.

Activities following the award of the European Language Label

We believe our collaboration with the partner region will continue because we are thinking of working together in a new project after this project. At the end of the project, we will compare the quality of language teaching education system in terms of the terms before and after the project in our own regions.
We will go on using the new approaches in English language teaching and inform each other via e-mails, letters or skype. A new project under Lifelong Learning Projects after this project is being thought with partner region. (May be Leonardo da Vinci- VETPRO; to inform English teachers to disseminate the projects between these partners).
We think it is extremely important to improve ourselves and English language teaching system in order to communicate and open our doors through English because it is mostly used.
