Let's sharpen our minds and enrich our lives by creating a European TV Channel!

Description

Students in most schools struggle with learning foreign languages, how to sell their ideas, how to pitch, because they are not asked to produce real-life content, they don’t get feedback from peers, they are not graded based on creativity, innovation, and so they are less interested in producing something as they usually focus on the mistakes they might make and not the content. Languages are made for speaking, so our project, based on an etwinning project started in September 2018, allows students to create content, to choose teams, plays, write them, direct them, film them, deal with all the challenges, from technical issues to hearing everyone out and accepting all ideas, sharing responsibility and assuming it as well. By creating podcasts, promos, ads, films, reporting news, students aged 10-14 have been improving their linguistic skills, their communication and collaboration. So we decided to turn this into an Erasmus+ project, as working in international teams, taking part in real, not virtual workshops together, experiencing other cultures and languages in their natural setting would be beneficial for their individual growth and for their 21st century skills. Greece, Turkey, Romania, Latvia and Portugal will work together in this project. All schools involved want their teachers to use more engaging means of teaching, more web 2.0, more flipped classes, so our goals are an increase in the number of teachers using ICT and modern storytelling methods, increased fluency in English, acquisition of basic skills in the partner languages, more sociable, tolerant, respectful and responsible students and an increase in the visibility of our schools. Our project would be a gateway for promoting other projects and activities we undergo in our schools, as our students would cover those in newscasts. We will produce digital audio-video content, a youtube channel, chain stories, international songs, a radio channel, games to be used as listening comprehension, bringing realia into the class. We will involve roughly 30% of our teachers (languages, native language, arts, ICT) and 30% of our students (10-14), but the younger ones will be able to produce materials as well and take part in the LTTAs hosted by their school. The project entails a training short-term staff meeting, where the two etwinning schools involved, Romania and Portugal will train the other teachers and present best practices and 5 short-exchanges of students, one in each country. During these, the students and teachers will work in mixed teams and collaborate with artists, musicians, TV presenters and journalists, interview local authorities, have creative writing sessions, linguistic workshops, get familiar with Augmented reality and different intelligences. This project will have numerous dissemination activities, apart from the youtube and radio channel, so the impact will make it possible for us to reach as many schools as possible.
