For the district inspectors and advisors, the National Education Inspectors for Modern Languages and the departmental educational advisors in our region, our objectives were : - to improve the linguistic performance of the managers, also by certifying them, - to update their knowledge, - to draw inspiration from the training courses attended for the implementation of new content in the curricula, - to create a language portfolio and offer a new range of resources to meet the needs of teachers (database to find books, documents, audio, videos adapted to the sequences, virtual library).
The SIILAE project (Intensive and Immersion English Language Courses in Europe) aims to enable the linguistic reinforcement of primary school teachers and the constitution of pedagogical resources in order to support the ambitious linguistic policy of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur academic region. Our application allowed us to propose a project to help primary school teachers develop linguistic skills, particularly oral skills, and to contribute to a preventive action against dropping out of school, as well as to reinforce the training offer and innovation in curricula. The consortium is composed of : - executives from the Nice and Marseille academies from 6 academic departments and 5 districts, - teachers from nursery and elementary schools. For Nice, the teams come from 10 schools in the Teaching of Subjects through Integration of a Foreign Language (Emile) scheme and for Aix-Marseille, from 3 schools in the Teaching of Disciplines through Language Integration (Edil) scheme.
