The document discusses strategies for teaching foreign languages to students with Asperger's syndrome in Greek schools. It describes Asperger's syndrome and challenges with social skills and communication. It also outlines Greece's educational system and recent efforts to integrate special needs students. The document proposes adopting communicative language teaching and multiple intelligences approaches to develop students' language skills while promoting integration. While CLIL could further support bilingualism, Greece likely cannot adopt it currently due to teacher capacity. The best strategies involve communicative teaching tailored to students' strengths to facilitate both language learning and classroom inclusion.
This document discusses the role of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) courses in internationalizing universities. It defines ESP and CLIL, noting that while they have differences in focus, they are based on common assumptions. The document advocates for CLIL courses in universities to respond to needs for internationalization and standardization across Europe. It analyzes the need to improve internationalization in Romanian universities, such as through increasing foreign language programs and language skills. Solutions proposed include collaboration between language and content specialists, as well as support for students and teachers through programs like Erasmus+.

This document provides an overview of a curriculum for preschool bilingual education using CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology. It was developed by preschool institutions in Greece, Poland, Romania and Turkey as part of an Erasmus+ project. The curriculum contains 9 chapters covering topics like educational systems, bilingual preschool education approaches, second language acquisition, and teaching methods. It is intended to provide preschool teachers with resources for implementing high-quality bilingual programs where English is taught for 30-60 minutes per day through games, songs, stories and hands-on activities. The goal is to help young children start developing proficiency in both their native language and English.

Statistics on educational institutions in Lodz are provided, showing numbers of kindergartens, schools, and innovative bilingual programs available at different levels. Support resources for teachers are listed.
The document outlines stages in creating an ideal city from the perspectives of students:
1. A questionnaire was applied to 60 pupils about transportation, pollution, and leisure in their town.
2. Based on the results, pupils presented their vision of an ideal city with no noise or air pollution, and more green spaces.
3. Features of the ideal city included solar panels, wind turbines, bicycle paths, parks, and using nature for energy needs.
Thank you for introducing yourself Ahmet. What did you learn in the Comenius project?
Ahmet: I learned a lot of things in the Comenius project. First of all, I improved my English skills because we had to communicate in English with other students. I also learned about other cultures. For example, I learned about Swedish traditions, food and lifestyle when I visited Sweden. I was hosted by a Swedish family and it was a great experience. I also hosted a Spanish girl in my house in Turkey. It was nice to teach her about Turkish culture. Overall, I learned that even though we come from different countries and have different cultures, we also have many similarities. The project helped me understand that we should respect each

1. Clasa de aur
Nici măcar o răsuflare nu se mai auzea. După zile întregi de muncă, planuri,
decizii, ore peste program, eram pe deplin satisfăcuţi de rezultat : « Nu îmi vine să cred
că asta e clasa noastră » se auzea şoptit din toate colţurile clasei. În sfârşit efortul nostru
era răsplătit.
Ne-am lovit de o altă provocare: menţinerea ordinii şi curăţeniei pe parcursul
zilei. A fost greu să ne controlăm impulsurile de a ne lăsa lucrurile împrăştiate, de a nu
tria gunoiul şi a trebuit să ne autoeducăm pentru a nu fi dezordonaţi. Când am început nu
ne-am gândit că vom ajunge aici. Fiecare zi era o nouă provocare, cu cât reuşeam mai
mult, cu atât ne doream mai mult: hârtiile erau aruncate de fiecare dată cu grijă la gunoi,
plasticul separat, apa era schimbată zilnic, plantele udate şi îngrijite, tabla ştearsă cu
atenţie după fiecare oră de curs. Nu se ştie când apare cineva să ne verifice. Fiecare clasă
dorea să câştige, iar competiţia ne impulsiona să continuăm, să ne dăm toată silinţa pentru
a face lucrurile cât mai bine, astfel încât clasa noastră să fie cea mai frumoasă şi curată.
Până şi orele aveau o altă atmosferă: mai degajată, fără prea multă tensiune, fiecare ştia
ce avea de făcut pentru a păstra totul în ordine, iar profesorii apreciau şi susţineau ceea ce
noi încercam din răsputeri să realizam. Relaţiile dintre noi, colegii, s-au aprofundat,
începeam să ne cunoaştem mult mai bine, ne bazam unii pe ceilalţi ca totul să iasă aşa
cum ne doream.
Celor care le datorăm mulţumirile noastre sunt profesoarele care ne-au ajutat şi
ne-au îndrumat pe tot parcursul concursului: atunci când existau prea multe idei sau chiar
unele diferenţe de opinie, ele echilibrau întotdeauna situaţia. Ne-au îndrumat să nu ne
oprim la clasa noastră ci, să curăţăm şi grădina liceului şi astfel să învăţăm că un mediu
sănătos, curat poate aduce multe beneficii pentru noi.
Păstrarea ordinii şi curăţeniei a contribuit şi la autodisciplinarea noastră, la creşterea
respectului de sine, pentru cei din jur, dar şi pentru locul în care ne petrecem o bună parte
din timp.
Acest concurs a fost o adevărată provocare, dar putem spune că suntem mândri
de ceea ce am realizat: cu cât suntem mai uniţi, cu atât vom munci mai mult şi mai serios,
iar lucrurile bune nu vor întârzia să apară.
Clasa a XI-a G
