I wonder if it would be possible for you to make video recordings from your classrooms - if you're still doing placement? It would be fun and interesting for yourselves as well as future international students to have such recordings from different European classrooms.
If you consider doing recordings, remember to get permission, also for showing them in Denmark to other student teachers.
Have a nice weekend!

Busy, busy,busy..... also with FADs and TEFL articles.....
This week I have not managed to read your blogs - I am so sorry. I have been extremely busy in a working group writing a new version of the college curriculum ('studieordning'), so I've got a reason but not really an excuse.
I have, however, managed to meet with Rebekka in person. That was nice :-)
Next week I will be going to Vejle to talk to their teachers about internationalisation and what can they expect to get from NQTs (newly qualified teachers). Benita will be joining me. Any suggestions for what we should tell them? What can you do that present teachers cannot?
Could you start writing your FADs and the article and put them on your blog, please? Remember, I cannot change the final submission deadline.
Have a lovely weekend whereever you are.

I have really enjoyed reading your blogs...
I can't help being slightly envious of all the interesting experiences you're having both with regard to studying and in your spare time.
Conditions are very different - as we know. Some of you have been lucky and are offered full courses with lots of interesting material to get into. Others have been less lucky and are offered few courses and perhaps even irrelevant ones and difficult studying conditions.
This week I would recommend that you all have a look at these blogs:
Alen describes some extremely interesting courses in Zürich and also how he is taking a professional stand on methods and approaches for English teaching.
Ane describes life in England and Bath which she finds personally rewarding but challenging with regard to what is being offered at the university.
Benita finds disinterested teenagers quite a challenge and is getting into some very interesting work and reflection on creativity and the use of film and music in teaching.
Mie is getting used to Norwegian temperatures and has come across a fascinating intercultural museum. She is also getting into some interesting work on globalisation and its importance for teaching.
Rebekka has experienced a real Finnish exam situation and is studying SEN (special educational needs) and inclusion in Finland and Denmark. She is currently on a trip to Lapland.
Sami describes his excellent contact to his placement teacher and gives a list of the extensive number of courses offered in Zürich.
Have a look - and drop them a comment.
And this is for your enjoyment - one of my favourite videos:
