This is the first week of our exchange and I´d like to invite you to write a short introduction about yourself. I´m Telma, one of the teachers in charge of the project and responsible for the third year Letras students who are part of this exciting experience! This project exists thanks to the Small Grants award given by the American Embassy, that made it possible to acquire netbooks and a videocamera to record some of our classes and share them with others.
According to what we wrote in our initial proposal, from the Brazilian side, our project goals are twofold:
· for prospective teachers it is to provide an opportunity to experience meaningful language learning in order to find room for innovation in their future teaching in state schools by focusing on global issues through meaningful communicative exchanges;
· for in-service university teachers it is to enable the implementation of innovative practices in English language teaching at the university level.
We hope that for the students in the American school it will be an opportunity to engage with multi-cultural issues through an international perspective, thereby enhancing their understandings of their locale and the world at large.
Welcome to the Project GLOBAL EDUCATORS FOR A GLOBAL WORLD!!!
