When the schools collaborate

12/11/2014 - Stavroula

The project "Communicate...in a dιfferent way!" brings together three schools, the Special High School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing of Thessaloniki, the Model Experimental Lyceum of the University of Macedonia and the 2nd primary school of Pefka. This collaboration is expected to benefit these schools' communities but hopefully more students and teachers interested in language learning and accessibility.

The parable of the Good Samaritan

11/20/2014 - Albaxan

The parable of the Good Samaritan is a parable told by Jesus. Portraying a Samaritan in a positive light would have come as a shock to Jesus's audience.
Students must subtitle the parable for Deaf School students.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan by Jan Wijnants (1670)
shows the Good Samaritan tending the injured man.

Framework For Consultation on ''Foreign Languages in Irish Education'': opportunities for ClipFlair

9/23/2014 - Laura

The Department of Education and Skills in Ireland has recently published the Framework For Consultation on ''Foreign Languages in Irish Education'':
http://www.education.ie/en/Press-Events/Press-Releases/2014-Press-Releases/PR-%202014-%2008-%2029.html

This is an opportunity for us and our Associate Partners to highlight the importance of the multimedia literacy in language teaching and the advantages of introducing audiovisual translation activities as part of the curriculum, especially since the European Commission is placing much emphasis on the Digital Agenda for European citizens.

A meeting of One Voice for Languages is scheduled for Oct 18th in Dublin and this issues will be raised. I have already sent written suggestions to OVFL along those lines.

Fingers crossed!
