A child is busy learning new material.



What are you favorite expressions to support the child, to praise without
praising, to ignite the spirit of not giving up.



I want to convey this to Mom's and Dad's  Grandparents too.



I will share the collection.

r.e. Don't Give Up! European Union language project

Don't Give Up! Is a European Union language project that has written a book of
48 best practices for every level of language educators (schools, managers,
teachers). The best practices will help improve the motivation and the results
of language courses for adult learners.

The project spent 2 years researching and analyzing the problems of adult
learners, language educators were asked their opinions and ideas, as well. The
results of the research were combined with the project team's ideas and
experience.

The best practices cover aspects of managing language schools and classes,
enhancing lessons, engaging and motivating students and dealing with many
aspects of the problems adult learners face to learn a language. This book can
positively contribute to the results of your language courses.

The best practices are summarized on the project website http://dontgiveup.eu
with some examples. The 138 page Don't Give Up! Book is available through the
web site in English, Czech or Spanish. Please visit the project website to
request a copy.

r.e. European Union funded education project

 

 

ARGuing for Multilingual Motivation in Web 2.0  (ARGuing) is a
European Union education project.

 

The project has created the first use of an Alternate Reality Game for
motivating secondary school students to learn languages. The project has
also learnt how an ARG can be adapted to almost any area of education.

 

The game that was created was called ' The Tower of Babel' and included
a story designed to engage the target student group. The students had to
save the planet by completing specific quests, collaboratively and
internationally. The project has been a huge success with over 400
teachers and students from 17 countries playing the game ' The Tower of
Babel'. In the final pilot over 9,000 quests were answered and 800 files
uploaded.

 

The project has created a number of resources that are available online,
these include:

     1. A re-usable game platform (on a Moodle      platform) that
includes multiple languages http://ictthatworks.net:8080/moodle/
<http://ictthatworks.net:8080/moodle/>       - you can view inside the
platform by sending an email to me. Please place      in the subject
line of the email – TofB platform
     2. A project website with additional      information
http://www.arg-education.eu <http://www.arg-education.eu/>  . On the
website are papers to download      including:

     1. A methodology to make and use Alternate       Reality Games in
education
     2. A set of case studies of other ARGs and       serious games with
empirical evidence of results
     3. A set of use case scenarios that show       examples of how ARGs
could be used for other subjects or cross-subjects
     4. An online teacher training course to       enable educators to use
the ARG the project produced
     5. Summaries of papers on the pedagogy,       evaluation and the
technology employed. (full papers are available in the       conference
proceedings of the 3rd European Conference on Games Based       Learning
http://academic-conferences.org/ecgbl/ecgbl2009/ecgbl09-proceedings.htm
<http://academic-conferences.org/ecgbl/ecgbl2009/ecgbl09-proceedings.htm\
>        )

 

The project team are also offering consultancy services to other
educators interested in using ARGs in education.

 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Dear friends,

We are pleased announce the 2010 Summer Teaching Program in China. The Summer
Teaching Program in China is an approved project of the Guangdong Educational
Bureau. Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (Guangdong, China) and
International Partnerships in Education (Pennsylvania, USA) and are the
respective facilitating organizations for this program.

Our program offers US educators, and student education majors, the unique
opportunity to experience China as few foreigners have ever experienced. You
will have the opportunity to teach your own Chinese students, meet local
educators, and build friendships that will last a lifetime. The teaching program
concludes with a private 3-day cultural tour of Beijing.

For additional information:

We wish to thank all of our 2009 teacher delegates who once again won the hearts
and minds of their Chinese students. Although the majority of the 2009 summer
English camp programs in China were cancelled last summer because of the H1N1
fears, ours was not. Working together with Guangdong University we were able to
work out a schedule that allowed the program to be held while also protecting
the health of the students. We are very grateful for everyone's flexibility an
efforts as we worked towards this satisfactory solution.

We hope that you will consider joining us in 2010.

As always, we appreciate your continued support for our programs.
Best regards,
John

online and offline digital comics can be used in the classroom to enhance
learning, engage and motivate students, and use technology in a practical and
effective way.

The project will create training material for teachers and organise workshops
for teachers. Attending teachers will learn how to apply strategies and lesson
plans in their schools using digital comics.

You can get involved with Educomics during the course of the project, by
downloading the Comiclab application that will allow you to make web comic
books. The Comiclab applicationcan be downloaded from

2009 fall summary of ESL Teaching News.    We expect a few more teaching
positions for Canadian ESL teachers during 2010.   The major influencing
factors are the continuing economic recovery, more stable currencies and
reduced effects of the H1N1 flu virus.   The high 2009 Canadian dollar
and Swine Flu motivated many international students to stay at home or
choose non-North America destinations.    All Canadian ESL schools
experienced a decrease of students compared to last year. We have
already witnessed a number of ESL school bankruptcies and expect more
over the winter months. Many ESL schools have slashed teacher salaries,
increased student-teacher ratios, fired senior staff and replaced them
with unqualified or minimum qualified new staff, stopped supplying books
and other cost reduction service cuts.   During 2009 we continued to see
English students from Spain. Many utilized the special overseas study
scholarship available to Spanish students. The rise of the Euro against
both the Canadian and USA dollars has motivated some Europeans to try
North American Schools and the new lower costs via the currency
exchanges.   With small increases of the Brazilian Real, Korean Won,
Mexican Peso and Chinese RMB we expect to see more students next summer.
More students means more teaching jobs in Canada and the USA. If you can
get a job and be paid fairly for your qualifications and experience.
We recommend teaching in a stable economy with established professional
teaching pay - Europe and Japan still look the best.   Articles for ESL

European Union early learning language project

The 'Lullabies of Europe' project http://www.lullabies-of-europe.org/ was a
funded project within the EU Socrates programme.
It has collected lullabies in 7 European languages (English, Italian, Greek,
Turkish, Danish and Romanian) is now looking at ways to finance a second project
to collect more lullabies in additional European languages.

The first project has been very successful with tens of thousands of children
and families using the lullabies to hear and appreciate new languages in a way
that interests small children and can resonate later in their learning careers.

You can hear samples of the lullabies on the website and also animated videos.

To help raise finance the project has made its lullabies available for digital
downloading from iTunes, on the Internet or on a CD. You can find links to both
these possibilities from the Lullabies website
http://www.lullabies-of-europe.org/

We have also produced a book with classroom activities and cultural backgrounds
to the lullabies. This will be available later
when finance is available.

You can write directly to me if you have any queries or questions.

r.e. Chainstories – motivating early language learning

Chainstories is a European Union project for pupils who do their schooling
through a  Romance language (French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese).
Five schools, each speaking one of the Romance languages, work together to
complete a single story. Each school writes their part of the story in their
language and has to understand the other schools' parts, based on the 
inter-comprehension of the Romance languages used.

The project has been piloted with 25 classes of pupils, between the ages of 8 to
12 in Italy, Spain, Romania, France and Portugal, with wonderful results.
Teachers have been amazed at the capacity of the children to understand the
other languages and the pupils have shown a measurable increase in their
understanding of languages, the European Union and their motivation to learn
languages.

Due to the pedagogic success of the project, Chainstories is now being opened up
to schools in Europe. Schools and teachers can join an existing chain or form
their own Chainstories and share in the positive results for the pupils and also
the professional development of teachers.

There is much more information on the project website http://www.chainstories.eu
, where you can see some of the actual stories produced, or you can reply to
this newsletter for further information.

I look forward to seeing your Chainstories.

Projecto Europeu para a aprendizagem de línguas

Chainstories – motivar para o ensino precoce de línguas

O projecto Chainstories – Histórias em Cadeia – é um projecto Europeu destinado
a alunos que frequentam a escolaridade em países cuja língua oficial é um idioma
pertencente à família das línguas Românicas (Francês, Espanhol, Italiano,
Português, Romeno). No âmbito deste projecto, cinco escolas, cada uma situada
num país de língua românica, trabalharão em conjunto para completar uma única
história. Cada escola escreverá a sua parte da história na língua oficial do
país a que pertence, tendo de compreender as outras partes escritas pelas demais
escolas participantes, com base em actividades de intercompreensão das línguas
românicas utilizadas.

O projecto teve uma fase piloto em 25 turmas, com alunos de idades compreendidas
entre os 9 e os 11 anos, em Itália, Espanha, Roménia, França e Portugal,
tendo-se obtido óptimos resultados Foi uma surpresa para todos os professores
descobrir a capacidade manifestada pelos alunos na compreensão de outras
línguas, competência em que também se verificou um desenvolvimento
significativo. Além disso, os alunos revelaram um maior interesse pela União
Europeia e pela aprendizagem de línguas.

Devido ao sucesso pedagógico do projecto, Chainstories estará acessível a todas
as escolas na Europa. Assim, as instituições escolares e os professores poderão
inscrever-se numa cadeia já criada ou propor uma nova cadeia e experimentar
igualmente os resultados positivos no que se refere não só aos alunos como
também ao desenvolvimento profissional dos professores.

Il progetto ha avuto una fase pilota che ha coinvolto 25 classi di bambini, in
età compresa fra i 8 e gli 12 anni in Italia, Spagna, Romania, Francia e
Portogallo, con ottimi risultati.I maestri sono stati sorpresi dalla capacità
che i loro allievi hanno di capire altre lingue e i bambini hanno mostrato una
crescente e sensibile capacità nel comprendere altre lingue neolatine e inoltre
hanno sviluppato le loro conoscenze relative all' l'Unione Europea e la loro
curiosità verso le altre lingue.

Dato il successo pedagogico di questo progetto, Chainstories è ora stato aperto
all'accesso da parte di tutte le scuole in Europa. Scuole e maestri possono
unirsi ad una catena già esistente o formarne una e così potranno condividere i
risultati positivi degli allievi e questa esperienza di crescita professionale
degli insegnanti.

Troverete maggiori informazioni sul progetto sul sito web: <a
href="http://www.chainstories.eu">http://www.chainstories.eu</a> , dove potrete
inoltre vedere le storie già realizzate o potrete anche rispondere a questa
lettera per avere ulteriori chiarimenti .

Certi di un Vostro interesse e in attesa di una Vostra possibile adesione.

Proiectul Uniunii Europene pentru înv&#259;&#355;area limbilor

Pove&#351;ti în lan&#355; – motivarea înv&#259;&#355;&#259;rii limbilor
str&#259;ine la vârste mici

Pove&#351;ti în lan&#355; este un Proiect al Uniunii Europene pentru elevii a
c&#259;ror limb&#259; matern&#259; este una dintre limbile romanice. Cinci
&#351;coli, fiecare vorbind una dintre limbile romanice, lucreaz&#259;
împreun&#259; pentru a alc&#259;tui o singur&#259; poveste. Fiecare
&#351;coal&#259; scrie partea ei de poveste în limba matern&#259; &#351;i
trebuie s&#259; în&#355;eleag&#259; p&#259;r&#355;ile celorlalte &#351;coli, pe
baza intercomprehensiunii limbilor romanice utilizate.

Proiectul a fost pilotat cu 20 de clase de elevi, cu vârste între 8 &#351;i 12
ani, din Italia, Spania, România, Fran&#355;a &#351;i Portugalia, cu rezultate
extraordinare. Profesorii au fost uimi&#355;i de capacitatea copiilor de a
în&#355;elege celelalte limbi, iar elevii au înregistrat o cre&#351;tere a
capacit&#259;&#355;ii de a în&#355;elege alte limbi, de în&#355;elegere a
conceptului de Uniune European&#259; &#351;i a motiva&#355;iei de a
înv&#259;&#355;a noi limbi.

Datorit&#259; succesului pedagogic al proiectului, Pove&#351;ti în lan&#355;
este acum deschis pentru alte &#351;coli din Europa. &#350;colile &#351;i
profesorii pot crea propriile lor Lan&#355;uri de pove&#351;ti &#351;i pot face
schimb de impresii asupra rezultatelor pozitive ob&#355;inute de c&#259;tre
copii &#351;i asupra dezvolt&#259;rii profesionale a profesorilor.

Sunt mult mai multe informa&#355;ii despre proiect pe website-ul <a
href="http://www.chainstories.eu">http://www.chainstories.eu</a>, unde
pute&#355;i vedea câteva dintre pove&#351;tile deja realizate, sau pute&#355;i
r&#259;spunde acestei scrisori de informare solicitând pachetul de
informa&#355;ii.

A&#351;tept&#259;m cu ner&#259;bdare s&#259; vizuali&#259;m Pove&#351;tile
dumneavoastr&#259; în lan&#355;..

The plans for another school year are being made around the world.

What do you think are the most essential supplies for making the first few days
of class successful?
