Reinventing Mainstream Classrooms (RE.MA.C.)

The project brings together native language students, migrant students and mainstream (language) teachers to collaboratively engage in common intercultural, language learning and teaching tasks using new and emergent technologies and digital tools by applying a blended learning model.

The main purpose of this objective is to create learning and teaching material on the basis of thematic topics found in textbooks of the corresponding countries to form a mainstream classroom that will provide fair learning opportunities to all students, and at the same time create a class and, eventually, a school, where students, and teachers are able to understand, respect and accept everyone, regardless of any form of diversity.

Throughout RE.MA.C., the aim is to tackle the challenges and difficulties (language) mainstream teachers face trying to address students’ diversified needs and interests.

RE.MA.C aims at:

• Developing and implementing online interactive material based on the teaching and learning needs of both mainstream language teachers and migrant students using the MILAGE learn+ platform and app.
• Training mainstream language teachers in teaching second languages in mainstream classrooms using the project’s dynamic online platform and overall educational material.
• Developing and implementing intercultural material, and eventually implementing intercultural tools across the curriculum by using the project’s platform and app and overall educational material.
• Training mainstream primary teachers using the project’s dynamic online platform and overall educational material in mainstream primary classrooms.
