Project Summary
The project gathered three important elements of teacher education together; university, educational authority and teacher education course providers. The rationale of the project depended on literature review and needs analysis. The primary aims of the project were; increasing the efficiency of using ICT tools for foreign language teaching, creating an awareness of this issue for the relevant stakeholders and offering course contents for pre-service and in-service English teachers. There were participant organisations from Spain, Greece, Italy, Romania and Turkey. Foreign partners were in-service course providers and teacher education centres. Partner from Turkey was a local educational authority. During the project time, transnational project meetings and short-term learning, teaching and training activities were planned. At every destination different kind of activities were organised by the partner institutions. A comparative report about the current applications, available facilities and teaching methodologies were written collaboratively. As intellectual outputs two course contents were created. The first course content is for the pre-service English teachers. This output was written collaboratively with the partners after a long needs analysis and discussion process. The course content is offered as a course to the faculty and the members of the team are still working on this issue for further publications. The second course is for in-service teachers and it includes general trends in ICT use in education, specific methodologies and latest approaches towards this issue in the relevant literature. As for the visibility of the project and its products, a project webpage was created. All the information, documents and news were shared in this webpage. Social media platforms were also employed. Dissemination activities at different institutions were organised. All of the dissemination activities were carried out according to dissemination plans and portfolios were created for every dissemination activity by each partner. The efficiency of the project activities were monitored by an expert team. The project reached the predetermined objectives and it has the potential of having long-term benefits in the field.
