The project conducted at our school \u201cPonadnarodowa mobilno\u015b\u0107\nkadry edukacji szkolnej\u201d was led by Mrs. Patrycja Kubicz and Mrs. Aneta\nStyrkowiec. Among the many benefits resulting from taking part in that project,\nme and Mrs. Kubicz had the opportunity to enroll into the Language, Methodology\nand Culture course, offered by ELC Brighton.

We learnt it the hard\nway as we had to drag our 20+ kg luggage for quite a long distance\u2026 We were\naccommodated at 248 Dyke Road, Brighton, BN1 5AE, at the ELC student house. The\nlodgings were comfortable and well-equipped, set in a quiet neighbourhood. The\nELC school in Brighton is located at 33 Palmeira Mansions BN3 2GB, which meant\nthat it took 30 minutes on foot to get to school. At first it seemed far away\nbut after our first walk we haven\u2019t used public transport even once! It was\nmuch more interesting to go on foot and admire the neighbourhood, architecture\nand also to explore different routes from our house to school, to the city\ncentre or to anywhere we wanted to go. Brighton and Hove have flawlessly\nworking public transport with double-deckers coming and going every 10 minutes\nbut it was really much more fun (and healthy) to walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5015\" width=\"347\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-6.png 465w, http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-6-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The ELC in Brighton has been based at 33 Palmeira Mansions since it was\nfounded in 1962. Palmeira Mansions, on Palmeira Square, were built between\n1883-4. Designed by the architect J H Lanchester and the builder Jebez Reynolds\nJr, these large Victorian properties have four storeys with an attic and\nbasement. Number 33 is unique in terms of its wonderful interior design; the\nbuilding is furnished&nbsp; with elaborate fire places, some with stunning over-mantles, carved mahogany\ndoors, a variety of lincrusta wallpapers, exquisite stained glass windows,\ndecorative Moorish style ceiling, parquet floors, marble staircase, floors and\npaneling\u2026 and yes, we had our classes there. Every day we had a chance to\nadmire the incredible design of that historic building \u2013 apart from the first\nday, when we got lost several times trying to get to the right classroom using\none of the three different stairways. Surprisingly however, despite the fact that\nthe building was actually a monument, it was fully equipped with state-of-the\nart technology and teaching aids, e.g. in our regular classroom we had a modern\ninteractive whiteboard. As the school is located in the city centre, it is\nsurrounded by many cafes, restaurants, bakeries, shops and pubs. But for our\nlunch break we usually didn\u2019t go to cafes or restaurants \u2013 we crossed the\nstreet and the Palmeira Square and ate our lunch\u2026 by the sea, as this beautiful\nbuilding is located only 500 meters from the beach! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5014\" width=\"349\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-5.png 457w, http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-5-223x300.png 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nsurroundings were wonderful, the school well-furnished and the teaching staff\nwere professional, friendly and extremely helpful. The teacher who led the LMC\ncourse, Rolf Donald (BA (Hons), MA Tesol, DTEFLA Teacher), was one of the most\ncompetent, experienced and enthusiastic educators I have ever met. Taking part\nin his classes was sheer pleasure. Rolf was always well-prepared, punctual and\nit was obvious that he loves his job. The course he prepared was very\ninformative, interesting and professional. Every day our classes started at 9\na.m. We had a half an hour break at 10.30 and then a lunch break at 12.30. We\nfinished at 3 p.m. Our international group consisted of 8 people \u2013 there were 3\nteachers from Poland (me, Patrycja and Magda), a teacher from Hungary (Clare),\na teacher from the Czech Republic (David), a teacher from Colombia (Jhon), a\nteacher from Spain (Carmela), and a teacher from Germany (Eva). I think that\nwere an active and well-matched group. All members were friendly and had\ninteresting backgrounds. Mostly, they were English teachers with a wide range\nof experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5017\" width=\"487\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-7.png 609w, http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-7-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first\nday started with the whole group welcome presentation, followed by\nintroductions. Then, Rolf presented the course overview and we did some\nwarmers, fillers and team building tasks. Next day we started with a discussion\nabout our beliefs about language learning and teaching. We learnt key terminology\nrelated to recent trends in ELT (English Language Teaching). The afternoon\nsession focused on Intercultural Communication and how Britain is seen from\nabroad. We also had to prepare a cultural briefing about our countries as\nhomework. Next session was devoted to English in the media \u2013 Journalese and the\ngrammar of news (the use of puns in headlines). We read actual newspapers \u2013\nranging from Red tops to more serious titles \u2013 analyzed the language and the\ncontent. We also looked at online tools that are helpful in researching,\nlearning and teaching vocabulary (English vocab profile, Ozdic, etc.) and at activities\nfrom the resource book Lexicalised Grammar. The afternoon class was devoted to\nthe local culture and history of east Sussex and Brighton through the paintings\nof Eric Ravilious and John Constable and using BBC\u2019s \u201cA Portrait of Britain.\u201d\nNext session discussed classroom management and catering for different\nlearners. Then, we focused on teaching listening skills. In the afternoon, we\nwere looking at social communication aimed at culture and politeness, followed\nby an introduction to Evidence-based teaching. The last session of the week was\ndevoted to songs, poems, and drama and how to use them effectively in ELT. The\nclass finished a bit earlier as most of us wanted to go sightseeing around\nBrighton or go on one of the weekend excursions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5019\" width=\"529\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-8.png 609w, http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-8-300x228.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The second part of the course was equally instructive and interesting. It started with a discussion of key issues in Britain today. Then, we looked at various effective ways for teaching grammar. The afternoon session took place in the computer room as we used different EdTech tools and websites. Next day, we focused on Project-based learning which was followed by an introduction into multi-modal literacy and curation tools. The afternoon session was devoted to Learner Generated Visuals. Next session focused on culture \u2013 how the British see themselves and on popular culture today. After lunch we worked on teaching Speaking skills which could be practiced with the use of drama and improvisation in the classroom. On the last but one day, the morning session was spent on our SPRE projects (Situation, Puzzle, Response, Evaluation). The projects were usually presented as hand drawn A3 posters which explained a lesson plan, an activity, a micro-teaching demonstration, a scheme of work, or steps of a teaching strategy. We had time for preparation and peer presentation. The afternoon session was devoted to British humor and explained what makes the British laugh. On the last day of the course most groups presented their SPRE projects in the conference room. After that, we watched a wrapping up presentation and received our certificates. After lunch, we participated in the last class focusing on Teacher Development in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5020\" width=\"520\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-9.png 609w, http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-9-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from learning we tried to do as much sightseeing as possible. We devoted our evening and weekends to exploring Brighton and Hove. We visited Brighton Pier, went to the beach as frequently as possible, we visited the Royal Pavilion and Museum, and explored at least half of the city on foot. We enjoyed British cuisine and couldn\u2019t resist the urge for shopping. We also went outside Brighton \u2013 we visited our friends in Portsmouth, another beautiful port city. We arrived at the historic dockyard, walked across the promenade and went sightseeing through the Old Town. We got back to Brighton just in time for the last day of the Pride Parade celebrating LGBTQ communities. We went on a day trip to the Seven Sisters National Park. We walked on and under the magnificent white cliffs \u2013 this trip was one of the highlights of the whole stay and the views I saw there I will never forget. At our last weekend we couldn\u2019t miss a trip to London as it is only 50 minutes away by train. We took a guided tour which covered the most famous spots (Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, the London Eye). After an exciting day, we spent our last night at Dyke Road. We left Brighton on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> August 2019 regretting that our stay has been so short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5022\" width=\"370\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-10.png 455w, http:\/\/zs.gromnik.pl\/zs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/image-10-221x300.png 221w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, the whole course was extremely engaging and skillfully prepared.

Thanks to many programmes and projects organised by FRSE, Zesp\u00f3\u0142 Szk\u00f3\u0142 w Gromniku, where I am a teacher of English, received financial support which enabled me to spend 2 weeks (between 29 July and 9 August 2019) at the English Language Centre in Brighton, UK. The project conducted at our school \u201cPonadnarodowa mobilno\u015b\u0107 kadry edukacji szkolnej\u201d was led by Mrs. Patrycja Kubicz and Mrs. Aneta Styrkowiec. Among the many benefits resulting from taking part in that project, me and Mrs. Kubicz had the opportunity to enroll into the Language, Methodology and Culture course, offered by ELC Brighton. I can\u2019t stress this enough how informative, enriching and simply unforgettable the whole experience was. We arrived on Sunday 28th July and discovered that Brighton is located on a very hilly area. We learnt it the hard way as we had to drag our 20+ kg luggage for quite a long distance\u2026 We were accommodated at 248 Dyke Road, Brighton, BN1 5AE, at the ELC student house. The lodgings were comfortable and well-equipped, set in a quiet neighbourhood. The ELC school in Brighton is located at 33 Palmeira Mansions BN3 2GB, which meant that it took 30 minutes on foot to get to school. At first it seemed far away but after our first walk we haven\u2019t used public transport even once! It was much more interesting to go on foot and admire the neighbourhood, architecture and also to explore different routes from our house to school, to the city centre or to anywhere we wanted to go. Brighton and Hove have flawlessly working public transport with double-deckers coming and going every 10 minutes but it was really much more fun (and healthy) to walk. The ELC in Brighton has been based at 33 Palmeira Mansions since it was founded in 1962. Palmeira Mansions, on Palmeira Square, were built between 1883-4. Designed by the architect J H Lanchester and the builder Jebez Reynolds Jr, these large Victorian properties have four storeys with an attic and basement. Number 33 is unique in terms of its wonderful interior design; the building is furnished&nbsp; with elaborate fire places, some with stunning over-mantles, carved mahogany doors, a variety of lincrusta wallpapers, exquisite stained glass windows, decorative Moorish style ceiling, parquet floors, marble staircase, floors and paneling\u2026 and yes, we had our classes there. Every day we had a chance to admire the incredible design of that historic building \u2013 apart from the first day, when we got lost several times trying to get to the right classroom using one of the three different stairways. Surprisingly however, despite the fact that the building was actually a monument, it was fully equipped with state-of-the art technology and teaching aids, e.g. in our regular classroom we had a modern interactive whiteboard. As the school is located in the city centre, it is surrounded by many cafes, restaurants, bakeries, shops and pubs. But for our lunch break we usually didn\u2019t go to cafes or restaurants \u2013 we crossed the street and the Palmeira Square and ate our lunch\u2026 by the sea, as this beautiful building is located only 500 meters from the beach! The surroundings were wonderful, the school well-furnished and the teaching staff were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. The teacher who led the LMC course, Rolf Donald (BA (Hons), MA Tesol, DTEFLA Teacher), was one of the most competent, experienced and enthusiastic educators I have ever met. Taking part in his classes was sheer pleasure. Rolf was always well-prepared, punctual and it was obvious that he loves his job. The course he prepared was very informative, interesting and professional. Every day our classes started at 9 a.m. We had a half an hour break at 10.30 and then a lunch break at 12.30. We finished at 3 p.m. Our international group consisted of 8 people \u2013 there were 3 teachers from Poland (me, Patrycja and Magda), a teacher from Hungary (Clare), a teacher from the Czech Republic (David), a teacher from Colombia (Jhon), a teacher from Spain (Carmela), and a teacher from Germany (Eva). I think that were an active and well-matched group. All members were friendly and had interesting backgrounds. Mostly, they were English teachers with a wide range of experiences. Our first day started with the whole group welcome presentation, followed by introductions. Then, Rolf presented the course overview and we did some warmers, fillers and team building tasks. Next day we started with a discussion about our beliefs about language learning and teaching. We learnt key terminology related to recent trends in ELT (English Language Teaching). The afternoon session focused on Intercultural Communication and how Britain is seen from abroad. We also had to prepare a cultural briefing about our countries as homework. Next session was devoted to English in the media \u2013 Journalese and the grammar of news (the use of puns in headlines). We read actual newspapers \u2013 ranging from Red tops to more serious titles \u2013 analyzed the language and the content. We also looked at online tools that are helpful in researching, learning and teaching vocabulary (English vocab profile, Ozdic, etc.) and at activities from the resource book Lexicalised Grammar. The afternoon class was devoted to the local culture and history of east Sussex and Brighton through the paintings of Eric Ravilious and John Constable and using BBC\u2019s \u201cA Portrait of Britain.\u201d Next session discussed classroom management and catering for different learners. Then, we focused on teaching listening skills. In the afternoon, we were looking at social communication aimed at culture and politeness, followed by an introduction to Evidence-based teaching. The last session of the week was devoted to songs, poems, and drama and how to use them effectively in ELT. The class finished a bit earlier as most of us wanted to go sightseeing around Brighton or go on one of the weekend excursions. The second part of the course was equally instructive and interesting. It started with a discussion of key issues in Britain today. Then, we looked at various effective ways for teaching grammar. The afternoon session took place in the computer room as we used different EdTech tools and websites. Next day, we focused on Project-based learning which was followed by an introduction into multi-modal literacy and curation tools. The afternoon session was devoted to Learner Generated Visuals. Next session focused on culture \u2013 how the British see themselves and on popular culture today. After lunch we worked on teaching Speaking skills which could be practiced with the use of drama and improvisation in the classroom. On the last but one day, the morning session was spent on our SPRE projects (Situation, Puzzle, Response, Evaluation). The projects were usually presented as hand drawn A3 posters which explained a lesson plan, an activity, a micro-teaching demonstration, a scheme of work, or steps of a teaching strategy. We had time for preparation and peer presentation. The afternoon session was devoted to British humor and explained what makes the British laugh. On the last day of the course most groups presented their SPRE projects in the conference room. After that, we watched a wrapping up presentation and received our certificates. After lunch, we participated in the last class focusing on Teacher Development in the 21st century. Apart from learning we tried to do as much sightseeing as possible. We devoted our evening and weekends to exploring Brighton and Hove. We visited Brighton Pier, went to the beach as frequently as possible, we visited the Royal Pavilion and Museum, and explored at least half of the city on foot. We enjoyed British cuisine and couldn\u2019t resist the urge for shopping. We also went outside Brighton \u2013 we visited our friends in Portsmouth, another beautiful port city. We arrived at the historic dockyard, walked across the promenade and went sightseeing through the Old Town. We got back to Brighton just in time for the last day of the Pride Parade celebrating LGBTQ communities. We went on a day trip to the Seven Sisters National Park. We walked on and under the magnificent white cliffs \u2013 this trip was one of the highlights of the whole stay and the views I saw there I will never forget. At our last weekend we couldn\u2019t miss a trip to London as it is only 50 minutes away by train. We took a guided tour which covered the most famous spots (Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, the London Eye). After an exciting day, we spent our last night at Dyke Road. We left Brighton on the 11th August 2019 regretting that our stay has been so short. As mentioned before, the whole course was extremely engaging and skillfully prepared. I believe I made a ton of progress both linguistically and professionally and I\u2019m convinced that every foreign language teacher should take part in such a course at least once. I hope that in the future I will be lucky enough to participate in a different course offered by the ELC.

Projekt o nazwie \u201cPonadnarodowa mobilno\u015b\u0107 kadry edukacji szkolnej,\u201d zarz\u0105dzany przez Pani\u0105 Patrycj\u0119 Kubicz i Pani\u0105 Anet\u0119 Styrkowiec umo\u017cliwi\u0142 nam wzi\u0119cie udzia\u0142u w kursie po\u015bwi\u0119conym metodologii nauczania j\u0119zyka angielskiego i kulturze brytyjskiej (Language, Methodology and Culture). Nie\u0142atwo wyrazi\u0107 jak bardzo pouczaj\u0105cy, wzbogacaj\u0105cy i niezapomniany by\u0142 dla mnie pobyt za granic\u0105 i udzia\u0142 w kursie. Do Brighton przylecia\u0142y\u015bmy w niedziel\u0119, 28.07 i odkry\u0142y\u015bmy, \u017ce miasto po\u0142o\u017cone jest na g\u00f3rzystym terenie. Da\u0142o si\u0119 to szczeg\u00f3lnie odczu\u0107 kiedy musia\u0142y\u015bmy ci\u0105ga\u0107 za sob\u0105 ponad 20 kg walizki podczas niekr\u00f3tkiego spaceru do naszego akademika, kt\u00f3ry znajdowa\u0142 si\u0119 przy 248 Dyke Road, Brighton, BN1 5AE. Akademik zarz\u0105dzany by\u0142 r\u00f3wnie\u017c przez szko\u0142\u0119 ELC i znajdowa\u0142 si\u0119 w domu mieszkalnym przerobionym na kwatery studenckie. Budynek by\u0142 wygodny i dobrze wyposa\u017cony, umiejscowiony w spokojnej okolicy. Szko\u0142a ELC znajdowa\u0142a si\u0119 przy 33 Palmeira Mansions BN3 2GB, co oznacza\u0142o 30 minutowy spacer. Na pierwszy rzut oka trasa wydawa\u0142a si\u0119 d\u0142uga, ale okaza\u0142o si\u0119, \u017ce ani raz nie skorzysta\u0142y\u015bmy z publicznego transportu! Chodzenie pieszo by\u0142o du\u017co bardziej interesuj\u0105ce ni\u017c jazda autobusem i umo\u017cliwia\u0142o nam podziwianie okolicy, architektury oraz sprawi\u0142o, \u017ce pozna\u0142y\u015bmy r\u00f3\u017cne trasy prowadz\u0105ce od akademia do szko\u0142y, do centrum miasta, lub gdziekolwiek gdzie chcia\u0142y\u015bmy dotrze\u0107. Brighton and Hove maj\u0105 \u015bwietnie dzia\u0142aj\u0105cy transport publiczny \u2013 autobusy pi\u0119trowe odje\u017cd\u017caj\u0105 co 10 minut, ale piesze spacery wydawa\u0142y nam si\u0119 du\u017co bardziej przyjemne (i zdrowsze). Szko\u0142a ELC w Brighton ulokowana jest przy 33 Palmeira Mansions od chwili powstania w 1962. Rezydencje Palmeira, na Placu Palmeira, zosta\u0142y zbudowane mi\u0119dzy 1883-4. Zaprojektowane przez architekta J H Lanchestera i budowniczego Jebez Reynolds Jr, te du\u017ce wiktoria\u0144skie budynki sk\u0142adaj\u0105 si\u0119 z czterech pi\u0119ter, razem z poddaszem i piwnicami. Numer 33 jest unikalny ze wzgl\u0119du na niesamowity wystr\u00f3j wn\u0119trz. W budynku znajduj\u0105 si\u0119 wyszukane kominki, niekt\u00f3re ze wspania\u0142ymi gzymsami, rze\u017abione mahoniowe drzwi, t\u0142oczone tapety z p\u0142askorze\u017abami, pi\u0119kne witra\u017ce okienne, zdobione sufity w maureta\u0144skim stylu, parkiety, marmurowe schody, pod\u0142ogi i boazerie\u2026 tak, w\u0142a\u015bnie w takim budynku odbywa\u0142y si\u0119 nasze zaj\u0119cia. Codziennie mieli\u015bmy okazj\u0119 podziwia\u0107 niesamowity wystr\u00f3j tego dziewi\u0119tnastowiecznego budynku \u2013 mo\u017ce za wyj\u0105tkiem pierwszego dnia, kiedy kilkakrotnie zgubili\u015bmy si\u0119 na jednej z trzech r\u00f3\u017cnych klatek schodowych. Mimo tego, \u017ce szko\u0142a znajdowa\u0142a si\u0119 w zabytkowym budynku, ca\u0142e wyposa\u017cenie by\u0142o zaskakuj\u0105co nowoczesne. W klasach znajdowa\u0142y si\u0119 innowacyjne sprz\u0119ty i pomoce dydaktyczne; nasza regularna klasa wyposa\u017cona by\u0142a w now\u0105 tablic\u0119 interaktywn\u0105. Szko\u0142a znajduj\u0119 si\u0119 w centrum miasta \u2013 otaczaj\u0105 j\u0105 kawiarnie, restauracje, piekarnie, sklepy i puby.
