Our project titled "Jobshadowing for a more efficient SAC", is among the top projects which received the Erasmus+ KA104 (Adult Education) grant in 2017 in Turkey. In that year, 376 organisations applied for the grant, but only 25 of those projects were approved and funded by the Turkish National Agency and the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union.
Our institution, which is Middle East Technical University (METU), offers foreign language education to adult learners at the School of Foreign Languages (SFL) in Ankara, Turkey. This project, which has been prepared by Feyza Saltan, is about the job shadowing mobilites done by the two instructors, who work at the Self-Access Center.
The number of instructors who have participated in this project is 2 and each of these instructors did one job shadowing mobility at a Self-Access Center in the UK. Those participating instructors were selected according to the criteria which were determined by the Directorate of SFL. The names of the participants were Feyza Saltan and Yasemin Fırat. Feyza did the jobshadowing at the Language Centre of the Cambridge University on January 22-26, 2018. Yasemin visited the Language Resource Center of the Newcastle University on February 5-9, 2018.
Our institution, which is the applicant and sending organisation, has been in charge of applying for the mobility project, signing, managing the grant agreement, reporting and selecting staff and professionals involved in the field of adult education and sending them abroad. The receiving organisations have been in charge of receiving foreign adult education staff and offering them a programme of a job-shadowing activity, and organising all these activities.
After the project was approved and the grant was offered to our institution, our institution contacted the receiving organisations and shared the information about the number and the names of the participants with them. Later, a seminar which gave information about the issues such as the aims and content of the project, travel, accommodation, travel/health insurance, visa, the job-shadowing plan was offered to the participants by the contact person of our institution.
Our participants will deliver a seminar and share their knowledge and experience on this blog and social networking sites with those working at other institutions on September 24, 2018. Thus, all our instructors and those instructors working at other universities and institutions are expected to benefit from this transmission of knowledge and experience.
