Die zwei Hauptzielgruppen sind die IT Lehrer und die Englischlehrer. Wir entwickeln ein online, interaktives Programm für die IT Lehrer, die ihr Englisch auf ihrem Fachgebiet verbessern möchten. Unser Ziel ist, ein effizientes und anwendungorientiertes Lehrstoff zu entwickeln, deshalb war unsere erste Aufgabe die Ausführung einer Bedarfsanalyse. Damit könnten wir die Bedürfnisse und die Anforderungen der IT Lehrer unserer Partnerländer in dem Projekt genau messen. Nach der Gestaltung und Entwicklung des Lehrprogramms und des Lehrstoffes führten wir einen pilot Kurs durch mit der Hilfe von e-tutors, die auf einem online Kurs von uns ausgebildet wurden. Der Inhalt dieses online e-tutor Kurses neben der spezifischen Vorbereitung für den IT Englisch Kurs eignet sich für die Ziele allerlei allgemeiner e-tutor Kurse. Für weitere Informationen besuchen Sie die Website des Projektes ( ). We are preparing two courses for in-service vocational trainers and teachers. One course is an online, multimedia, interactive IT English course in Moodle platform for practicing IT teachers to improve their language skills - with focus on reading comprehension and technical vocabulary - in order to enable them to be more successful in their professional career. The units of the course concentrate not only on IT fields like Networks, Programming, Hardware-Software etc, but cover issues like electronic material development or mobility. The other online course is meant for E-tutors to prepare them for the tasks related to online tutoring such as online consultations, electronic evaluation, course management etc. Both courses are supported by a so-called E-Exam software that offers about 500 interactive tasks for additional practice and online evaluation purposes.
