Best Practice in Cooperative Language Teaching from Kindergarten to Grammar School

Observing lessons and sharing knowledge across the border with teachers from the kindergarten and school sector

Within the framework of the project activities of the Province of Burgenland, the kindergartens Städtischer Kindergarten Oberwart (municipal kindergarten), Praxiskindergarten der BAfEP Oberwart (kindergarten attached to the teacher training institution for kindergarten education Oberwart), Kindergarten Unterwart and Kindergarten Rotenturm a. d. Pinka as well as the cooperating primary schools Oberwart, Unterwart and Siget i. d. Wart and the grammar school ZBG Oberwart invited interested colleagues from the project partners in Vienna, Lower Austria and Hungary to a morning observing bilingual German/Hungarian lessons on 23 May 2017.
Subsequently, there was an exchange of information and ideas between the guests and the teachers of the host kindergartens and schools and the project coordinators at BAfEP Oberwart, which was also attended by the director, Barbara Györög. The tried and tested bilingual learning materials by Gisela Kramer and Iris Zsótér, the multilingual stories by Katharina Dowas and the didactic handbook for the cooperation of kindergartens and schools by Jutta Pradl-Hodics and Beatrix Hechenblaickner were presented.
This was a good opportunity for the participating institutions to pass on their knowledge and skills to others and to point out the need for cooperation between interdependent institutions.
