5. How the idea of an eTwinning project emerged
or was brought up :
Tension
between ….
- My pupils’ little
interest in
English learning
( lack of sense,
meaningless,
useless)
- My pupils’ social
difficulties
My values and objectives
As an English teacher in a
vocational school :
-upgrading, improving my
students’ level of English because
I am aware of the benefits for
their future personal and
professional life
- Willing to give my students
more opportunities to broaden
their horizons especially because
they have a low self esteem and
they need to become more
autonomous

12. After the trip
 Preparing the videos to promote and give value to the project (the ones
we’ve been presenting)
 Gathering the students’ work and compiling the work so as to be able to
ask for a label

13. The results (my notes)
 Students developed a true friendship with their partners. They developed
their language skills. They opened their minds and had a better
understanding of Europe .
 The relationship with my students completely changed because we shared
an unforgettable experience.
 As far as I’m concerned, I also developed new skills as a foreign language
teacher. I learned new methods of work and of collaborating.
 The students’ work and efforts have been rewarded : in February 2018 they
had the priviledge to receive a European label.
