The ICEGuide Handbook
The ICEGuide Handbook is a pedagogical framework and easy-to-use manual for the implementation of ICE through picturebooks in EFL. It is for disseminating grounded theory and practical ideas which have emerged from the ICEPELL project and will be for use by practitioners and teacher educators. The ICEGuide will be placed as a downloadable pdf document on the ICEPELL website and also be given as a printed manual to participants in the final ICEPELL dissemination event in June 2022.
Transferability potential
The ICEGuide will summarise the learning, teaching and training undergone during the three-year ICEPELL project making it available to the general public. It will support the sustained implementation of picturebooks in English to develop ICE in early EFL in Europe and hopefully beyond. It could also support similar approaches in any foreign language and provide a sound basis for similar activities with older EFL learners and their teachers.
Impact
The impact of the ICEGuide is expected to be enormous, as it comprises a summary of all that is relevant to integrating ICE in early EFL through picturebooks. Through the ICEPELL website it will be available as a pedagogical tool to stakeholders locally, regionally, nationally and on an EU level, as well as around the world.
