Blended Learning in English Language Teaching

Description

"The context of the project:The technological developments in the 21st century have sparked a great deal of transformation in education. Especially, technologically equipped classrooms with smart boards enable all students to benefit from e-contents much more efficiently and effectively. Students' devices such as tablets, computers, laptops, smartphones, and e-readers also make them learn and practice the subjects again and again with the help of using them anytime and anywhere. So, the advantages of technological devices make learning more accessible and practical for students. The biggest advantage of Blended Learning Approach is that it offers the opportunity to use both digital technologies and face-to-face communication tools in the teaching process simultaneously. While students and teachers come together physically in traditional education; they can make use of various tests, subject reviews, exercises on the internet, apart from the classroom environment. Thus, a multi-faceted experience emerges from the combination of these two approaches.The motivation for the creation of this project was primarily the need for online education tools and applications integrated into English language teaching. In response to this need, it was decided that ""Blended Learning Approach"", which combines face-to-face education with online teaching tools, would be the most useful and most appropriate method for this project. The advantages of the devices with ease of transport and internet connection in reinforcing the subjects make mobile learning and face-to-face training complement each other. Thus, compared to traditional learning approaches, blended learning provides a learning model with superior features. The objectives of the project:After the impact of Covid-19, e-learning and technological devices have become more and more important in the education sector. So, today's newest and most popular approach is to combine traditional education methods with technology-supported materials or blended learning models. In this context, we want to take advantage of an effective blended learning model in our partner institutions for the objectives listed below:1.to plan blended lessons2.to manage distance education environments (Moodle)3.to make the lessons interesting and keep students motivated4.to monitor and evaluate learning6.to increase the knowledge/skills of teachers regarding digital education7.to integrate mobile devices into the lesson8.to use technology more effectively and safely9.to ensure the continuation of learning outside the classroom10.to exchange ideas while cooperating with European colleaguesThe number/profile of participants:“Blended Learning in English Language Teaching” brings 5 partners from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and England forming a transnational cooperation partnership for the purpose of implementing the ""Blended Learning Approach"" in teaching English as a second language. Each partner school was chosen according to the importance they attach to teaching English and digital education. Their experience in eTwinning and Erasmus+ projects is also a priority for this project. The other institutions (Universidade Lusofona - Eurospeak Language Schools Ltd) have multi-competent teams with important experiences in the field of secondary school education, as well as teacher training, ICT and digital learning methodologies and tools.Each school will send 3 teachers to the joint-staff training events. These people are going to enhance their skills/competencies in digital platforms. The institutions, Universidade Lusofona and Eurospeak Language Schools Ltd. will assign 3 lecturers to give the seminars and courses related to the project content in these training events. So, teachers will learn how to make use of digital materials in their lessons during the process of the project. For the other LTTs (exchanges of groups of pupils), the partner schools will assign 5 students and 2 teachers to attend the transnational activities. Students are expected to improve their language skills through the online learning platform site: ""Moodle"". Partner institutions will also organize 3 face-to-face transnational project meetings to discuss the general issues of the project. They will send 3 persons for these events.Impact-long term benefits:Following the completion of the project, the partner schools will go on using Blended Learning Program in their ELT courses.They also plan to use the created methodological materials both on the ""Moodle"" platform and the project website to make them accessible to the visitors who want to learn and practice English on digital platforms.As ""Moodle"" is the most important and vital part of this project, all e-learning contents including audio-visual lessons, exercises, tests, revisions will be shared on this platform. The program will be created to meet the needs of each participating country, and the content of the site can be enriched by the partners"
