About
The ICEPELL Project plans to produce four different intellectual outputs. These are:
An ICESurvey An ICEPro Course ICEKits An ICEGuide Handbook
The ICESurvey
The ICESurvey is a needs assessment tool, which will be designed and implemented in the five project countries. The aim of the ICESurvey is to collect information about practitioners’ understanding of, attitudes towards, experience with and confidence about integrating ICE into their early foreign language classes to inform decisions regarding the development of the professional development course. more…
The ICEKits
An ICEKit is a teaching pack for practitioners and their students. It supports practitioners in using a particular picturebook to develop ICE in early language learning. ICEKits will be created by practitioners for practitioners during the ICEPro Course. They will have been piloted in real classrooms and subsequently revised. The kits will be made available on the open-access ICE website at the end of the project. Some kits will also be presented as printed booklets at dissemination and multiplier events. Each ICEKit will be associated with the Intellectual Property Rights License agreement. more…
The ICEPro Course
ICEPro Course is a 25-hour face to face professional development course, with a short virtual introduction, developed to equip practitioners with knowledge, attitudes and competences to successfully plan for, manage and assess ICE through picturebooks in early EFL. The intention is that the course provides practitioners with all the skills and competencies required to successfully make changes in their classroom practice.
During the ICEPro Course this is supported by post-course activities with practitioners sharing and reflecting on their newly learned skills with the support of the e-Twinning ICECommunity, a virtual community of practice, as well as through opportunities facilitated by partners-as-mentors during feedback meetings. more…
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. more…
