GENERAL INFO
Culture and Heritage in Communication – Using Cultural Heritage in Development of Communicative Competence and Interculturality in Foreign Language Learning
DESCRIPTION
The main aim of the project is to analyse and compare the state of language teaching in the entire education system (from primary to adult education), with special attention given to foreign language teaching in adult education in the six project partners’ countries. The aim is also to define how cultural heritage of these countries can be used as a language teaching tool in project partners’ and other countries.
After valorising cultural heritage of the project partner’s countries, partners will develop innovative approaches in language teaching by providing more attractive education and training programmes, designing a foreign language teaching and cultural heritage discovery curriculum, developing teacher’s materials as well as a digital platform for English and foreign language teaching and cultural heritage discovery.
