Enriched Foreign Language Learning Project & Foreign Teachers A key goal of the EFLL project is to demonstrate that the presence of FTs in the Slovene school system facilitates the delivery of FL teaching which exceeds the legislative minimum standard. That is, the FTs enhance the quality of the FL teaching process through their added value. In view of the basic teaching formats, the added value can be achieved through: team teaching in intercultural teams; single/independent teaching. However, in order to provide the requisite empirical evidence, FTs need to be integrated into the school curiculum appropriately, ie. in accordance with the project's requirements.
PREPARING to launch the EFLL-3 Project at school level: FIRST STEPS 1. Forming/Establishing the School Project Team (SPT) 2. Identifying possible and defining/planning expected added value to FL teaching, achieveable (only) by/thorough FT s inclusion/integration into the school curriculum and teaching&learning process ( getting to know each other, following the Interactive Team Teaching principles ) 3. Defining/Establishing school project goals; 4. Forming/Establishing teaching teams: a) Core b) Additional 5. Identifying/Selecting teachers, interested in cooperation with the FT through her/his guest teaching in their classes 6. Defining/Establishing SPT ground rules (distribution of roles, communication rules, decision-making principles )
ADDED VALUE/TEACHING EXCELLENCE What will be performed BETTER in a team with a FT [or by her/him alone] than by a Slovene teacher alone? The essential question to ask oneself is: What shall I do with a (NS) coteacher rather than by myself? Something that I cannot do alone/by myself AT ALL. Something that, by myself, I cannot do THAT WELL.

EFLL-3: FTs TOUR OF DUTY at HS/AHS and PS in school year 2013/14 FT s (Foreign Teacher s) basic work requirement at HS(HomeSchool)/AHS (AssociatedHomeSchool) and PS/s (Partner School/S) in terms of workdays: 5 days per week at schools as a general rule, occasionally 4 days in a week as follows: 1 day per month at ZRSŠ (NEI): all FTs for the mandatory monthly CPD (continuous professional development) meeting 2 days per month at ZRSŠ: some FTs (5-7 members of FTs Expert Group, ES-FT) 1 day to 1 week occasionally at SatS (Satellite Schools): a few FT s, i.e. those involved in the piloting of EFLL language courses for SatSs (always on the basis of an agreement between ZRSŠ and all schools involved) FT s weekly tour of duty at HS(AHS) and PS (i.e. distribution of a FT s workload between the two schools defined in terms of an average weekly work schedule): FT at HS: 3-4 days per week (on average, could be also on a biweekly, monthly or yearly basis) FT at PS: 2-1 day/-s per week FT s weekly (or monthly, biweekly/yearly) tour of duty to be renegotiated & agreed on between partnering schools
MONTHLY CPD (continuous professional development) MEETINGS: Mandatory(i.e. binding by the authority of the project) Defining needs & goals, developing plans: maintenance of (EFLL relevant & specific) knowledge and skills enhancement of existing (EFLL relevant & specific) skills development of new potential (independent courses Sats) Defining schedules: according to a yearly plan (see annual calendar of activities) in Ljubljana (ZRSŠ or other location) on Tuesdays, from 10.00 to 16.00 Defining alternative formats indiviudal consultations (before or after monthly meetings, at whatever other arranged time) school visits (consultations, instructional coaching, monitoring&evaluation)
Enriched Foreign Language Learning Project & Foreign Teachers Within the EFLL project, the FT s teaching obligation comprises two complementary components: team teaching and independent teaching. Team teaching can take the form of interactive team teaching (ITT) or guest (team) teaching (GT). Team teaching can take the form of interactive team teaching (ITT) or guest (team) teaching (GT). Interactive team teaching is implemented on a regular basis with fixed teams (either core or additional), whereas guest team teaching can on an irregular/unrepetitive basis, as the interest, need or opportunity arises, with teams (but should nevertheless be planned in general accordance with the yearly school curriculum).
The DO s and DON Ts of teaming teams as permanent as possible not more than 3 (core) co-teachers within the same period of time (month/week) no one-lesson partnerships (except in guest teaching) core and additional teams TEAM TEACHING (interactive) team teaching -TT core - CTT additional - ATT guest (team) teaching G(T)T as permanent as possible small number of partnerships organised on a yearly principle less permanent flexible, depending on the current issues and needs organised on a unit principle (anywhere from 3 lessons upwards) FT should not be forced to do subjects/topics she/he is not comfortable doing could be in a form of substitute teaching but preplanned
Hour distribution and components of an average weekly FT s teaching workload 15 (16) hours + 5 (6) hours team teaching TT interactive team teaching + guest teaching: positive interdependence together whole class principle apart division of students into two sub-groups single teaching ST independence on the basis of collaborative teaching individual (small group) work with students compulsory elective activities (OIV) extracurricular activities 0 3 hours 0 2 hours 0 2 hours
TEACHING TEAMS functional (vs. disfunctional) teams Basic principles of teaching teams formation: COMPLEMENTARITY COMPATIBILITY It is vitally important when forming teams that the competencies and personalities of all team members are taken into consideration!
ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF TEAM TEACHING Several studies suggested the essential components of team teaching (& co-teaching) were/are: Joint planning Similar philosophical beliefs about teaching Classroom management Establishing roles and avoiding the native-speaker teacher from becoming an instructional assistant Open and effective communication Resolving conflicts immediately Flexibility Compatibility Shared responsibility On-going training Administrative support

Motivational activity (15 min): A good foreign teacher is? Following the prompt from the previous slide and taking into consideration ayour knowledge of the EFLL project as well as your experiences within the project, define the traits of a GOOD FOREIGN EFLL TEACHER with at least 10 attributes (word, phrase or sentence). Reflect individually for 5 min first, then work in groups for 5 mins share and compare. Leave tle last 5 min for plenary presentations.
Foreign teacher s added value in the selection and adaptation of authentic materials He/she is in a more direct contact with the target language culture, which gives him/her an easier access to authentic materials. Consequently he/she is able to access more relevant modern materials. He/she understands better the broader cultural context from which the document is extracted. This enables him/her to set-up the cultural context for its use in the classroom, thus rebuilding the authenticity lost. He/she has an overall view of the range of documents which could be used in class. He/she brings in his/her own experience/training as a teacher in this field. He/she brings in a completely different point of view on the materials, thus opening possibilities for an intercultural approach. He/she is himself/herself an authentic document and could be used accordingly. He/she can adapt materials with the Slovene teacher for a more efficient approach (work in a multi-cultural team). Samuel Farsure, 2010
Added value / Value-added Outside of economics, value added refers to "extra" feature(s) of an item of interest (product, service, person etc.) that go beyond the standard expectations and provide something "more" while adding little (?) or nothing (?) to its cost. Value-added features give companies or service providers (schools) a competitive edge. In economics, added value can be defined as the difference between a particular product's final selling price and the direct and indirect input used in making that particular product. Value for money?
Teaching FLs with added value = = Value-added FL teaching What value do FTs add to the standard forms & formats of FL teaching in Slovenia? Added value to the SYSTEM Added value to the SCHOOL??
