School vacation is the best time for the teachers to improve their teaching skills. This is why Zaporizhzhya National University has scheduled its traditional Philology Teachers’ Training Workshop for the last day of October, and EUVOLIA team has gladly joined the event.
This time, the project’s results had been presented during Olena Tupakhina’s workshop on project focused approach to teaching literature. The teachers were introduced to the basic principles of the project-oriented approach and had an opportunity to practice their digital skills when working with such services as HeySpace (for small projects management), Storyboard That and Wordcloud to make the groupwork in and out of the classroom more entertaining and diverse.
The projects prepared by EUVOLIA students served as an evident sample of what the project-oriented approach might lead to; Olena Tupakhina also shared EUVOLIA guidelines and recommendations for student group projects and highlighted the strong points of using fiction as a case study for axiological conflict, which is one of EUVOLIA’s foundations.
All the teachers present at the workshop expressed their desire to continue their professional training with EUVOLIA and unanimously signed for the next EUVOLIA workshop to be held in April 2020.
