Success stories

The topics of the school projects range from CLIL in vocational education, to Critical Thinking in the language classroom, the use of the target language in the classroom at A2 level, Intercultural Learning and the use of New Media. The university projects focus on the role of the university teacher as a co-constructor of knowledge and on student-focussed learning. A further project developed at educational authorities looks at supporting teachers in their work through action research.

A central objective of ARC is to provide impulses to encourage teachers to engage in action research and to be confident in sharing their achievements. We are very pleased to be able to show abstracts of the projects that have evolved.

Take a look at examples of case studies produced by participants of ECML training and consultancy events.
