ROLE IN THE PROJECT
 The Warwick team is well placed to contribute to the theoretical background of the project, including membership of the scientific committee. Particular expertise lies in Initial Teacher Training in Modern Foreign Languages, assessment and questionnaire analysis. The team works with a wide range of partnership schools in the area and mentor training is held twice each year to disseminate good practice. The Warwick team works closely with Tile Hill Wood Language College, one of the University of Warwick’s partnership schools, which has won awards for its CLIL teaching programme. One particular role in this project will be to act as internal evaluator in contact with the appointed external evaluator.
