Our second product - the collection of lesson plans at two levels - is almost totally ready!


Recently teachers have been busy with testing lesson plans (O2) with local groups of learners. After each class, learners are asked to fill in a questionnaire and give feedback.

 

On the basis of the comments, it might be necessary to make some minor changes in order to make the content and tasks of the lessons more appropriately tailored to the needs of senior learners. The lessons are said to be really enjoyable and motivating.
 
 


As for the two curricula (O3), we are ready with the analysis of the feedbacks from external evaluators. The next task is to decide what modifications must be made.

Testing our products


The lessons plans (O2) and two curricula (O3) are almost ready. Now we are testing them and, at the same time, working on its layout and design. Our teachers and external evaluators are checking if our products are innovative and may improve the efficiency and attractiveness of learning English by 55+ students.



We hope that the results of this testing phrase will be positive and after some small corrections we will be able to disseminate prepared materials – giving support and new tools to teachers of English to seniors.

Time is passing so quickly. The fourth international meeting is behind us. It was a great and fruitful time in Szeged. All important matters were discussed, testing tool for our third product was prepared, next steps and deadlines were planned. We had a chance to learn more about Mobility tool and exchanged the ideas about project promotion and dissemination. We started to prepare our project leaflet which we are going to use during multiple events in each country.


In our free time we met old friends - learners from Tan-Folyam Oktatási és Kulturális Egyesület and some of us were trying to dance salsa and kizomba!


You can see how great the atmosphere was during the meeting by looking at the photo presentation – in our project Gallery: http://www.slideshare.net/secret/KMD4p2Xvovj1FG


Now we are working very hard – testing our second and third product (lesson plans and curricula). We plan that we will be able to present results of our work very soon!

The third international meeting in Rome has just finished. It has been a great meeting. We worked hard, we exchanged ideas, we made proposals for the development of the project. And of course we laughed and ate a lot!


Our newborn baby ”O1” is almost complete. But it won’t be alone for long because ” his sisters”, lesson plans, are on their way too! And last but not least O3, ” the curricula” start to take shape. Not bad if you consider that Inmete is just one year old!

Output production progress


After the third international meeting in Rome we are happy to say that O1, the resource pack, is almost complete. We just need to correct the different elements according to the precious suggestions emerged by quality control procedure.


O2 - the lesson plans for elementary and intermediate level are almost ready too. Every partner has already illustrated the drafts of lesson plans prepared. Now these draft need to be turned in more detailed versions to be corrected and evaluated. Templates to test their effectiveness have been created and quality goals were established.

O3 - the curricula for elementary and intermediate level, is still a draft but will be improved in the following months.
