ESP Summer School

3 – 10 July 2016 ( Balti and Chisinau, Moldova)
This is a one week training organised by the Association Continuing Education Center in colalboration with the Center for Excellence in Gastronomy http://www.sp2balti.webs.md/, the local restaurant “Oliva” (http://www.oliva.md/about/) and the financial support of the Foundation “Liechtenstein Development Service”.
A core group of 10 EL teachers from Moldova and EU countries will exchange teaching practices and resources, organise English demo lessons for beginners in a target group of restaurant staff and VET students. The programme also provides the oportunity to all the participants to get into the kitchen themselves and participate in cooking workshops and master classes organised in colaboration with Oliva restaurant staff.

Short description of the summer school activities:
Demo lessons. All the EL teachers will organise a lesson in a target group of waiters. The other teachers will observe the lesson or will participate in the lesson pretending to be trainees.
Feedback session. It is organised immediately after the demo lesson. Good teaching practices will be pointed out along with the suggestions for improvement. We do hope it will be a great sharing and learning opportunity, especially for the teachers with less experinece in ESP.
Developing/ Revising ESP resources. This session will offer us the opportunity to revise the lesson plan, if needed to adjust it to the student’s needs, and also to develop ELT resources using realia from the field trips to the local winery and the local vet schools, and from the cooking workshop. The resources include video recordings, photos and photo-based flashcards, student’s handouts, lesson plans.
Cooking Workshop. This activity is targeted to learn new skills, discover new tastes and experience a meal you’ll never forget in a team of participants coming from Moldova, Greece and Italy and contribute to developing resources for our course “English for Gastronomy”. The organisers will provide the products. The teachers who suggested the dishes and the restaurant staff can prepare it. The activity will be recorded using a video camera. If the teachers mind the video recording, they can provide support us in instructing the restaurant staff from our target group how to prepare it.
Evaluation sessions. Daily activity targeted to get the feedback about the daily outputs of the training.
Field trips. This activity will be an amazing opportunity to develop community – based learning strategies and ELT resources based on local realia. It is a great exercise to stimulate and nourish teachers’ imagination and creativity in developing ELT resources and integrating them in teaching strategies. It will also provide the teachers from EU institutions an opportunity to catch a glimpse of Moldova. The field trips includes visiting local VET schools, a famous local winery and local monasteries.

FELT School, 5th edition
Our unique teaching, professional development and service component differentiates the FELT school program from other teaching practices or volunteering programs, as it gives students experiential learning and students, in return, exemplify responsability, initiative and active citizenship.
The goal of the 5th edition of FELT School is to contribute to the professional development of future teachers by bringing together American and Moldovan English language teachers and students interested in teaching English to primary learners and by providing training in civic education for educators.
Activities
1. Summer school in ELT (20-26 August 2012) – a valuable professional development opportunity for the volunteering students as they will:
- teach English to 2nd and 5th grade pupils with an experienced partner, American or Moldovan EL teachers;

The FELT School fellows will organize extracurricular activities in English for a group of children from vulnerable families from Balti. It will also imply model lessons for the volunteering students organised by experienced teachers.
4. Course: Civic education through English Language Teaching (October-December 2012)
Our course “Civic Education through English Language Teaching” will promote transformative teaching and commitment to tolerance, inclusion, engagement, collaborative learning, and safe learning environment. It will encourage the students to search for new ways to promote civic education principles in the language classroom, with a main focus on restorative justice approaches to conflict resolution, respect for children from different ethnic groups, tolerance and understanding of children from vulnerable families. It will train the students to promote civic education and democratic principles in the educational settings leading to the transparency of the educational institutions, among other benefits.
The course will encourage the students to improve their leadership skills by organising a series of events and join civic education initiatives such as:
- The International Day to Fight Poverty (October 2012),
- International Education Week (November 2012),
- Inclusion in the Framework of the International Day of Human Rights (December 2012);
