Since we trust that you have worked on the first part of the elwa course 'Sustainable language teaching and learning' before starting this course, we won't explain our understanding of foreign language teaching and learning again. Neither will we introduce the different tools of teacher learning again, since we have already done so quite thoroughly in the previous part. However, we will give all participants the chance to introduce themselves and to get into touch with other colleagues. Moreoever we will include an overview of both parts of the course for all of you to remember what you have read and heard about in part 1.

Do those notes for three weeks, and after that make some reflections concerning the following questions:
• To which extend do you think, that the “contract” of mutual trust and responsibility has become the living reality in your classroom?
– For 85%
• Do you think it has had any impact on the atmosphere in the classroom? Describe!
– Yes! Also the students who don’t like math or have some problems to understand, they ask questions!
