Day 4: Job shadowing

We set off with a group meeting to discuss aspects of the curriculum: materials used, student evaluation, CLIL, bilingual programme to name a few. It was an interesting discussion that revealed similarities and differences between the Slovakian curriculum with Cyprus' curriculum and the other participants' curriculum (Spanish, Lithuanian). Also, there were lesson observations of English and French. Both included cooperative learning strategies and formative assessment via digital tools/apps. The english language topic was holidays/celebrations and focused on the countries that we (job shadowing participants) come from; thus, a game-based and fun cultural lesson. The main activities were: -a card game where students had to guess the holidya/celebration based on clues given -matching celebrations with the countries The French lesson was about clothes. The clothes were initially displayed on the projector screen, the students worked in small groups, and lastly they illustrated their learning with an activity using Plickers https://get.plickers.com/. The day program finished with visits to the museum, the Mausoleum and the water mill. All of them are significant cultural and historical monument of Slovakia.
