Date and venue: Podgorica, Montenegro, 29-30 September 2023
Experts: Christine Lechner (Austria) and Renata Zanin (Italy)
Local organiser: Nataša Perić, Bureau for Education Services
Participants: 21 class teachers, teachers of Montenegrin-Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian language and literature, foreign language teachers (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian)
Quality in foreign language teaching implies teachers who master teaching methods, approaches and procedures that lead to the best results in learning. Foreign language teachers in Montenegro have a good education in foreign language teaching methodology but certain aspects of teaching require constant reassessment and improvement. The workshop Enhancing language learning and teaching through action research communities for language teachers, held on 29 and 30 September 2023 in the Bureau for Education Services, introduced to the language teachers the potentials of Action research and how it can help them reflect on their practice and refine their teaching skills.
During the two very productive days, the team of outstanding trainers, Christine Lechner and Renata Zanin, presented the main principles of Action research to the teachers of five foreign languages, English, Italian, German, French and Russian, and provided them with practical examples as well as tools and resources for reflecting and improving their teaching practice. The participants have found the sessions on focused classroom observation, collaborative learning and reflective teaching very useful, as well as the instructions for planning the action research project. Five action research projects were planned to be implemented until the end of the first term of the school year 2023/2024.

Akciono istraživanje u nastavi stranih jezika u Crnoj Gori
Kvalitet u nastavi stranih jezika podrazumijeva nastavnike koji vladaju nastavnim metodama i pristupima koji će dovesti do najboljih rezultata u nastavi i učenju. Nastavnici stranih jezika u Crnoj Gori imaju dobro obrazovanje iz metodike nastave stranih jezika, ali pojedini aspekti nastave zahtijevaju stalno analizaranje i usavršavanje. Radionica Unapređenje učenja i nastave jezika kroz zajednice akciono istraživanje, održana 29. i 30. septembra 2023. godine u Zavodu za školstvo, upoznala je nastavnike jezika sa potencijalima akcionog istraživanja i kako im ono može pomoći da promišljaju o svojoj praksi i unaprijede nastavu.
Tokom dva veoma produktivna dana, tim vrhunskih trenera, koji su činile Christine Lechner i Renata Zanin, je predstavio glavne principe akcionog istraživanja nastavnicima pet stranih jezika - engleskog, italijanskog, njemačkog, francuskog i ruskog, i ponudio praktične primjere i resurse za promišljanje i unapređenje nastavne prakse. Učesnicima su bile veoma korisne sesije o fokusiranom posmatranju u učionici, saradničkom učenju i refleksivnoj nastavi, kao i uputstva za planiranje projekta kojim će primijeniti akciono istraživanju u učionici. Planirano je da se realizuje pet projekata tokom prvog polugodišta školske 2023/2024.
