BilingualismMatters@Poznań invites everybody interested to a presentation of the results of the TEAM project.
The presentation by Prof. Anna Ewert, Prof. Aleksandra Wach and Dr. Victoria Kishchak will take place on Tuesday, 26 March 2024 at 3pm in the newly open Hrynakowski Aula, Collegium Heliodori.
The main goal of the project was to create materials for educating teachers about bi- and multilingualism and to improve the quality of academic instruction by creating a new, interdisciplinary course on multilingualism. The project partnership included specialists from Adam Mickiewicz University (project beneficiary), the Jagiellonian University, Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the University for Foreigners in Siena, universities in Konstanz, Granada, Rijeka and Edinburgh. The project was implemented as part of the international Bilingualism Matters network.
The main beneficiary of the project was the University of Adam Mickiewicz. The Poznań team included: Prof. Anna Ewert (project manager), Prof. Aleksandra Wach, Prof. Michael Hornsby, Dr. Victoria Kishchak (project manager) and Dr. Grzegorz Krynicki.
The project produced audiovisual materials such as screencasts, interviews with recognized specialists in the field of bi- and multilingualism and testimonials of multilingual individuals, which are available to the general public via a dedicated YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TEAMultilingual. The project course is available at the following address: https://fon.wa.amu.edu.pl/moodle/course/view.php?id=4 (no login required). The course is divided into four thematic modules devoted to the linguistic, neuro-cognitive, socio-cultural and educational aspects of multilingualism. All project materials are available in nine language versions (English, Polish, Spanish, German, Italian, Greek, Croatian, Hebrew and Arabic). The course can be used in academic teaching and as self-study materials for teachers and other professionals involved in education, as well as by parents of multilingual children.
The project has been awarded the Good Practice label by the National Agency of the Erasmus+ Program and the European Solidarity Corps.
We invite everybody with an interest in bilingualism and multilingualism, staff and students in particular.
