Schools Plastic-frEe Movement:
English for the Environment second
online course 

This course is online, free of charge, and proposes a series of lessons covering the micro-language and associated grammar on the theme of environmental topics to allow participating schools and teachers to communicate with colleagues from other European countries about their activities and transfer the micro-language to children. The course is for adult learners who don’t feel confident enough in communicating and who need to build their vocabulary and practice their grammar. 

Each lesson will be 1.5 hours and will use the opportunity provided by the subject matter to cover relevant micro-language and associated grammar forms for teachers involved in the project activities and who are taking part in the schools plastic-free movement. 

All the participants will receive a participation certificate based on the number of hours of attendance provided they attend at least 75% of the total hours of the course

The certificate will be emitted by Polo Europeo della Conoscenza, the Project’s coordinator Organization, a Public body in Italy and It is valid as training credits. For those requiring we will prepare also the Europass certificate.

Note: This course is only open to all the teachers who are willing to join the Plastic-Free Schools network.

The total duration is 15 meetings online for teachers.
