The SMiLE Programme: Student Mobility & Learning English
SMiLE is a joint coordination programme between the Department of
English & German Studies (URV) and the Secondary Schools (INS) in
Tarragona. It began in the academic year 2009-2010 as a pilot scheme and is
coordinated by:
Elizabeth Russell: Department of English & German Studies, URV.
Mònica Escarcelle: Junior High School representative, Education
Department.
Susana de Llobet: International Office, URV.
The SMiLE programme is especially designed for incoming Erasmus students
to the Department of English & German Studies in the URV. Its aim is
twofold: to promote English, French and German in the secondary schools and to
offer work placement exercises for incoming Erasmus students, especially those
who might wish to specialise in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).
Erasmus students working as language assistants will obtain 6 ECTS
credits after completing 40 hours of work placement.
