This project aims to improve English language teaching for adults across Europe. Partners will analyze how English is taught in different countries, develop new teaching materials, and organize international lessons and student exchanges. Students will initially be tested on their English level, participate in joint activities with students from other countries, and retake the test after two years to measure improvement. The goals are to promote cooperation and innovation in teaching English as a second language to adults, improve language skills through real interaction, and help students gain skills needed for the European job market.

1. We think that this project can be useful to get a general picture about how English as a foreign language
is taught across Europe in basic adult education, in other words, how English is taught in adult teaching
(language schools and language motivated students are not the goal of this project). We will work with
real data and try to go beyond stereotypes because the research we are going to develop will be well
structured and discussed in detail at the first meeting of the project. This should help all schools and
institutions taking part in the project to improve their English as a foreign language teaching thanks to
synergy. There will be an initial test students in every institution have to sit at the beginning of the
project in order to be very clear their level of English. The same test will be held after 2 years, at the
end of the partnership in order to see to what extent the use of new materials improved the students'
level of English.
During the partnership there will be meetings in every partner country and the mobilities will give
teachers and students involved the chance to work together, to exchange ideas, to make the research
and to draw conclusions based on it, etc. At every meeting there will be students and teachers from
all partner institutions and among activities there will be lessons held by teachers to mixed groups of
guest students and others from the host institution.
We think, as well, that this partnership will help all members of the educative community to realize
that English is a useful tool and a common means of communication for all European citizens. Students
will have the opportunity to take part in lessons held by European teachers, they will be involved in
different activities with foreign students working in groups and pairs and they will experience English
as an active tool of communication in the interaction with other non-native English speakers (teachers
and students) fully understanding how important is English for active European citizens and giving up
their fears regarding speaking English.
The main aim of this partnership is to improve the communicative skills and linguistic abilities of adult
students. The objectives are:
1.To analyze, observe and compare how English as a foreign language is taught across Europe in adult
education (non-language schools) in terms of educational programs and methodology of teaching
2.To promote cooperationand innovation in designing high-quality and innovative materials to be used
in adult education for teaching English
3.To improve the language skills by promoting English language learning and linguistic diversity in the
international lessons to be organized during the project meetings
4.To create conditions for real interaction and communication (peer learning) and for exchange of
good practice between students and teachers from Europe in order to improve the quality of adult
education

2. 5.To support the development of ICT skills by creating the website of the project and by using the
Internet and different tools for partners to communicate and work on the project
6.To help improve the social skills of adult students through project meetings and online
communication
in order to reinforce the contribution of lifelong learning to active citizenship, intercultural dialogue
and personal fulfillment
7.To promote competitiveness and employability by preparing adult students for the European labor
market in terms of developing English and communicational skills
8.To provide an international framework for further cooperation (internships abroad, other European
projects etc.)
A communicative approach will be used to achieve these objectives and adult students are the central
point of the project with their needs, personalities and backgrounds. Partners will find out about the
way English is taught in Europe, will design suitable teaching materials for adults, will take part in
international lessons and will develop their English and communicational skills.
