Fremdsprachenzertifikate in Der Schule
FREMDSPRACHENZERTIFIKATE IN DER SCHULE Handreichung März 2014 Referat 522 Fremdsprachen, Bilingualer Unterricht und Internationale Abschlüsse Redaktion: Henny Rönneper 2 Vorwort Fremdsprachenzertifikate in den Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen Sprachen öffnen Türen, diese Botschaft des Europäischen Jahres der Sprachen gilt ganz besonders für junge Menschen. Das Zusammenwachsen Europas und die In- ternationalisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verlangen die Fähigkeit, sich in mehreren Sprachen auszukennen. Fremdsprachenkenntnisse und interkulturelle Er- fahrungen werden in der Ausbildung und im Studium zunehmend vorausgesetzt. Sie bieten die Gewähr dafür, dass Jugendliche die Chancen nutzen können, die ihnen das vereinte Europa für Mobilität, Begegnungen, Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung bietet. Um die fremdsprachliche Bildung in den allgemein- und berufsbildenden Schulen in Nordrhein-Westfalen weiter zu stärken, finden in Nordrhein-Westfalen internationale Zertifikatsprüfungen in vielen Sprachen statt, an denen jährlich mehrere tausend Schülerinnen und Schüler teilnehmen. Sie erwerben internationale Fremdsprachen- zertifikate als Ergänzung zu schulischen Abschlusszeugnissen und zum Europäi- schen Portfolio der Sprachen und erreichen damit eine wichtige Zusatzqualifikation für Berufsausbildungen und Studium im In- und Ausland. Die vorliegende Informationsschrift soll Lernende und Lehrende zu fremdsprachli- chen Zertifikatsprüfungen ermutigen und ihnen angesichts der wachsenden Zahl an- gebotener Zertifikate eine Orientierungshilfe geben. -

Convocatoria Para El Curso 2021-2022
SECRETARÍA DE ESTADO DE EDUCACIÓN MINISTERIO DE EDUCACIÓN Y FORMACIÓN PROFESIONAL Resolución de la Secretaría de Estado de Educación, por la que se convocan 117 plazas de estancias profesionales europeas en Alemania, Austria, Bélgica, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Francia, Italia, Noruega, los Países Bajos, Portugal, el Reino Unido, la República de Irlanda, Suecia y Suiza, para profesorado perteneciente a los cuerpos de Maestros/as de Educación Infantil y Primaria, Profesorado de Enseñanza Secundaria, Catedráticos/as de Enseñanza Secundaria, Profesorado de Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas, Catedráticos/as de Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas, Profesorado Técnico de Formación Profesional, Profesorado de Música y Artes Escénicas y Profesorado de Artes Plásticas y Diseño para el curso 2021/2022. El último informe español TALIS (2018), derivado del “Teaching and Learning International Survey” de la OCDE, ha puesto de manifiesto que el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje ha cambiado significativamente en los últimos años y constituye un importante desafío para el personal docente. En este escenario de cambio permanente, el profesorado debe validar y actualizar continuamente sus conocimientos y habilidades para ayudar al alumnado a convertirse en personas adultas competentes y socialmente integradas. Así mismo, en la actualidad la enseñanza es más dinámica, desafiante y exigente que nunca y existe la expectativa de que el profesorado desarrolle, adapte e innove su actividad docente de forma continua con el objetivo de que el alumnado adquiera los conocimientos y destrezas que necesitará en su vida cotidiana y sus trabajos y profesiones futuros. La creciente importancia de la formación continua del profesorado es evidente una vez que la participación en actividades de desarrollo profesional del personal docente ha sido incluida como indicador en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas (United Nations, 2015).
