The
aims of the TELL ME! project are:
- To exchange
experiences, ideas and opinions on the topics
under discussion,
- To make pupils
aware of the social, cultural, historical and
linguistic differences and similarities between
different European countries,
- To make pupils
aware and proud of the specificity of their own
language, traditions and culture,
- To promote
intercultural education and accept the OTHERS,
their realities and contexts,
- To make links /
bridges of understanding and co-operation
between different countries in Europe,
- To promote the use
of a foreign language as a communication tool,
- To get acquainted
with different foreign languages,
- To improve
students' knowledge of foreign languages,
- To learn some
expressions in different European languages,
- To introduce
students' mother tongue to foreigners,
- To compare
different European languages according to their
different origins, structures and
- spelling/pronunciation,
- To use different
languages in different contexts,
- To reflect on and
make pupils aware of the differences between
formal/informal usage of mother tongue,
- To learn something
about European cultures from the use of language
and the description of situations,
- To make pupils use
the Information and Communication Technologies
in order to produce their works and to make them
available,
- To make use of
different ICT possibilities.
One of the expected
impacts of the TELL ME! project both on the pupils and
teachers involved in its development as well as on the
educational communities of the different schools will
be to have a better understanding of their partners,
to know each others better in order to accept the
differences and similarities between the different
nations.
We have to know and
appreciate ourselves, our culture, our history in
order to understand and appreciate the others.
Promoting, introducing and exchanging our languages,
games, tales, in short our cultures will enable all to
understand and accept the OTHERS. |
