Project summary

The project builds on the most successful element of our current Erasmus+ KA2 Project. We would like to teach primary school children in Bradford / England and Cuxhaven / Germany foreign languages through story telling and language festivals. This will benefit our pupils' and primary school pupils' language skills. It will also give our students necessary skills for the workplace such as confidence, leadership, teamwork and teaching experience. Since we will be working with local primary schools the project will also strenghten the links between primary and secondary schools and also ease transition. Transitions between primary and secondary schools are in both schools still a major theme that needs to be worked on. In the language festivals we will explore contemporary literature and as a result pupils will become more aware of modern culture in Germany and England. During our current project we have developed a language learning app and a website of resources for primary schools to use. We will continue to build produce digital resources thus ensuring that our pupils are able to use digital platforms confidently.
