Project: Learning Technical English for laboratory technicians
This new project with partners in the Erasmus + VET Project is about learning Technical English for lab technicians. Student must know technical words to do lab test in microbiology, chemistry and physics.
Dutch and Spanish students work together about English vocabulary about lab test. It’s important knows equipment, material and reagents in English Language because a lot of test and Standards are in English.
- Aims
This eTwinning project is based in an open project with students in middle level in VET (vocational Education and training). They are studying laboratory technician. Students are between 18 and 25 years old. The number of Spanish student is 18 and Dutch Students are 15.
The main aim in the realization of this project is to work together the two centers partners of Spain and Holland
This eTwinning project will use English language and the main aim is learning technical words to work in a laboratory: equipment, reagents, material, and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
Students improve technical English because working together and they help each other to acquire the skill. for example: statistical analysis of data, accuracy (trueness and precision), uncertainty, average, etc.
The curricular integration will be according to the professional modules than two schools have in common. These are:
• Physical and Physicochemical analysis.
• Chemical analysis
• Microbiological Tests.
• Information and Safety in a laboratory.
• Basic laboratory operations
• Technical English
- Work process
The project is expected to last about 12 months. It starts in November 2017
Students will rise to the platform monthly TwinSpace work done and shared and analyzed students enter the two centers.
They also will use Pinterest to share interesting web pages about the project
In groups they will do presentations about Laboratory glassware, Health & Safety at workplace, Reagents: pictograms and H and P statement.
Sharing results: blogger, web page in TwinSpace
The Communication and Exchange among partner schools will be by email, WhatsApp and the skills in TwinSpace
- Expected results
Results, impact and documentation will be used in different ways of dissemination for our project:
• Web page School
• Blog
• Facebook
• Twitter
The expected results that we want to get are:
- Students use English to carry out work on laboratory, doing different lab tests
- Students learn about the new methods and analysis in different labs: microbiology, chemistry and Physics
- Improve English language in their professional profile laboratory technician
- Students develop common documentation for use in future projects.
- Learn to use several ICT: google drive, google forms, power point, Excel, movie maker, padlet, youtube
- Make a public Twinspace: web page, blog with documentation developed in this project.
Dear Ximo.
ResponderEliminarI understand that everything will be analysed later and this is only the idea. It s a very nice project idea about technical vocabulary as you are working in a vocational school and very useful for the students. I hope it will be put in practice too!
Thanks Maria. I hope to do this etwinning project
