English: Interculturalising Education: Content, Language and Culture for Schools Links and Partnerships.

This course aims to:
- Explore the culture of the classroom so as to identify, describe and understand underlying good practices. This will involve participants examining their own teaching contexts as well as those of colleagues.
- Investigate the role of Intercultural Communicative Competence in education and study zones of education where ICC plays a significant role. This will cover basic principles of ICC across the curriculum but will also consider the qualities required by teachers who aim to enable their students to develop cultural skills and attitudes.
- Identify and discuss key intercultural issues in syllabus design and course content.
- Examine the practicalities of setting up and running a schools links project. This will look at all aspects of the creation, management and ongoing development of schools links.
- Consider and practice the use of technology for Intercultural Communication through schools links.
- Explore and conceptualise the nature of intercultural projects work. This will include looking at what it means to collaborate through the curriculum with partner schools in other countries. Here, participants will look at ways content and language integration can be effectively achieved through an intercultural project with a partner school. Participants will also create instruments for use in their own cultural and curricular investigations.
