Objectives

The project develops key competencies in 21st century skills, providing participants with the necessary digital era abilities, while also developing a concurrent mindset in using cross-curricular skills to embed learning for new careers and work in the twenty-first century. The project delves into an evolving and emerging digital world to determine the best job to do in the future. The project recognizes the importance of cultivating creativity in all students, particularly in the critical subjects of English and Math, both together and separately. Virtual lessons will reinforce creativity in education, as will contests to improve quality and innovation with new methodologies to support our students' creative potential in Math and English. The project will supplement efforts to assist the cultural and creative sectors in recovering from a crisis in terms of greener, more digital, and resilient recovery, contributing to the EU's strategic priorities.

Background

LINGUA MATHEMATICA is an Erasmus+ project that aims to bring together two disciplines and two generations. English is one of the disciplines, and Math is the other. Preschoolers make up one generation, while teenagers make up the other. According to a survey we conducted with our teenagers, English and Math are both regarded as one of the most difficult subjects. This project makes use of emerging digital resources to create motivational activities for Math learning that are integrated with English lessons. We will create some lesson materials to teach English vocabulary associated with Math subjects. It develops and supports learners in comprehending and enjoying these lessons by using shared terminology, shared applications and web tools, and shared lingua franca. Students will learn Math and English together this way. Teenagers will plan a variety of activities for Maths integrated English classes for primary and preschool students. And we will put these activities into practice in the pre-schools. The project raises awareness of the importance of Math and English across skill sets and countries, as well as provides a shared practice in using digital resources to communicate across cultures. It encourages learners and tutors from different countries and cultures to work together to improve their skills and communication, much like a video game, but with real-life skills.
