INTACT Project: Bilingual Teaching Resources Tailored for Students’ Mobile Life

Isabel Chumbo; Annika Jokiaho; Birgit May; Vitor Gonçalves

Abstract

At present interactive teaching and learning materials are either only usable with a certain technology, like interactive whiteboards or tablets, or bound to a certain provider software. Until now there has only been a small number of materials available that allow synchronous, collaborative work at different locations on a shared task, independent from the technology used. Against the background of this the Comenius multilateral project INTACT (Interactive Teaching materials Across Culture and Technology) develops interactive teaching and learning resources for bilingual education in different subjects, evaluates them and provides them on an online platform developed for them.

INTACT creates and implements reliable teaching resources for example for Mathematics, Geography, Technology, Second Language Learning, Primary Science, Secondary Science and Environmental Education with the aim to promote a culture of collaboration among students and an interactive approach to learning inside and outside the classroom. Since the technological requirements in schools are diverse, the teaching resources will be implemented in HTML 5, thus ensuring independence of specific hard- or software.

In many partner countries schools are not used to a bilingual setting in the classroom, and INTACT addresses this with a special emphasis as a way to introduce the CLIL methodology in countries where it is not yet used on an everyday basis and at such different age levels.
