• ConnEcTEd
• [IO7] Internationalising the FLTE curriculum – Transnational issues (videos, webinars & podcasts) in foreign language education

The objective of IO 7 was to strengthen the internationalization of European Language Teacher Education Curricula through a collaborative design, piloting, and implementation of a transnational virtual lecture series. This virtual lecture series was to also increase “Internationalization at home”.

Transnational Virtual lecture Series I – General introductions to Foreign Language Teacher Education

The first part of the series is a set of videos dealing with the original topic of “Coherence in European Language Teacher Education”. The videos were general introductions or overviews of the school system and foreign language teacher education in each partner country/state. By watching the series of short videos (approx. 6-10 minutes), people interested in language teacher education will get an idea of how similar or dissimilar language teacher education is in the partner countries. The series includes videos from Helsinki, Nice, Oslo, Zagreb and Freiburg.
