Syllabus and Teacher’s Handbook
The Syllabus for teaching foreign languages (English, Bulgarian, Greek, Romanian, and Ukrainian) provides a structured framework that integrates linguistic competences with democratic competences. The syllabus outlines 10 thematic learning units designed as digital breakout challenges. Each unit includes defined structure, learning outcomes, content specifications, teaching methods, assessment criteria, and grading principles.
Developed for tertiary-level education, the syllabus is linguistically complex, content-oriented (focused on citizenship and democracy issues), context-appropriate (reflecting democratic issues at local, national, and European levels), and culturally-sensitive (promoting intercultural understanding).
The Teacher's Handbook provides guidance for implementing the ENLACED methodology incorporating challenge-based learning and democratic competence development within existing curricula. Serving as an essential material to the digital breakout challenges, the handbook provides:
- Detailed lesson plans for each digital breakout challenge
- Step-by-step instructions for facilitating individual and collaborative learning
- Guidelines for organizing international collaborative projects among students
- Recommendations for assessing linguistic and democratic competences
- Practical suggestions for community outreach activities
- Strategies for adapting the challenges to various teaching contexts
