Publications: new eTwinning book

Following the success of eTwinning’s first two handbooks for teachers in 2006 and 2007, this latest publication focuses more concretely on the value and use of language and culture in any cross-border collaborative project. In addition, the book brings together a wealth of successful, award-winning project examples from the past school year which have all used language and culture to create bonds and share knowledge.

 

In the book’s introduction, eTwinning’s Pedagogical Manager, Anne Gilleran, explains the importance of this year’s topic: “Through language comes culture: when the young people of Europe come together, they want to communicate, learn about life in each other’s schools and countries, and to learn words in each other’s language. That is the strength of eTwinning. It fosters communication, no matter what the topic.”

 

This new book also arrives as the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue enters its last quarter. Throughout the year, a number of eTwinning projects, kits and activities have put an extra emphasis on the importance of language and culture and for this reason, eTwinning is proud to present snapshots of their results in the book.

 

eTwinning: Adventures in language and culture has been produced in 23 languages. It is available in print from each National Support Service, as well as electronically on the eTwinning Portal.
