Role in WE ARE IN VR

Within the WE ARE IN VR KA220 partnership, Liceul Teoretic “Tudor Arghezi” contributes as a pedagogical implementation partner.

Its role focuses on:

• Testing and validating VR-supported language learning practices in real classroom environments
• Participating in the development and refinement of teaching strategies integrating immersive technologies
• Contributing to the creation of lesson scenarios combining literature, vocabulary, grammar, and communicative competence
• Supporting evaluation processes through feedback from teachers and students

The institution plays a key role in ensuring that the VR-based tools developed within the project are pedagogically meaningful, adaptable to curriculum standards, and responsive to student learning needs.

Expertise Relevant to the Project

The school’s experience in collaborative lesson design and integration of ICT tools into regular curricula provides a strong foundation for participation in a project centred on digital innovation in language education.

Teachers at the institution work together in the creation of innovative teaching materials and actively apply technology-enhanced methodologies in their instructional practice. This collaborative model strengthens professional competence and supports experimentation with new educational formats.

The institution’s focus on enhancing reading and language literacy aligns directly with the project’s objective of improving speaking skills and communicative confidence through immersive VR-based practice environments.

Contribution to Project Activities

Within the project lifecycle, the Romanian partner contributes to:

• Classroom piloting of VR-based foreign language scenarios
• Development of structured feedback mechanisms for evaluating student motivation and speaking performance
• Participation in transnational meetings and workshops
• Dissemination activities at school and local level
• Integration of project outputs into regular teaching practice

Through its direct engagement with students aged 13–19, the school ensures that the project outputs remain grounded in authentic learning contexts and respond to real educational challenges.

European Added Value

By contributing practical classroom validation and collaborative teaching expertise, Liceul Teoretic “Tudor Arghezi” strengthens the transnational dimension of the project.

The exchange of pedagogical experiences between Romania and other partner countries supports the development of a European model for immersive language learning. The school’s participation enables comparative analysis of teaching practices across education systems, ensuring that project outputs are adaptable, transferable, and scalable beyond a single national context.

Its contribution reinforces the project’s broader objective of fostering innovation, cooperation, and professional growth in European school education.
