What is TEMPLATE?
TEMPLATE stands for Technology-Mediated PLurilingual Activities for (language) Teacher Education.
TEMPLATE is a European project that aims at strengthening the professional competence of pre- and in-service teachers who want to fully implement the recommendations of the Council of Europe for the use of plurilingual approaches in language education.
TEMPLATE seeks to offer a professional development programme that integrates: pedagogical aspects, content knowledge, and digital tools that might be applied in class.
It is intended to boost innovative practices for teacher professional development programmes in Europe from a plurilingual perspective.
