About MMLT
This project aims to provide a framework through the Montessori Method (MM) and hopes to achieve this purpose by using the MM’s theories and practises in language teaching environments, both remotely (through e-learning and ICT based training) and supported by face-to-face workshops.
It is believed that this will achieve the four strategic objectives set out by the Education and Training 2020 (ET2020) framework (Europa Summaries of EU legislation, 2009) as follows:
- Making lifelong learning and mobility a reality
- Improving the quality and efficiency of education and training
- Promoting equality, social cohesion and active citizenship, and
- Enhancing creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels education and training

Teacher Training
After series of introductory and organisational meetings we have now reached the Teacher Training Stage of the process. The first face-to-face meeting was held on Saturday 1st March and led by our teacher Mrs Karen Corne.
We invited a group of 10 qualified language teachers
(divided into 2 groups of 5) to help us in the process of piloting the MMLT
project and participating in the research phase. The invaluable feedback we received
will be crucial to creating a successful manual. During the Seminar, our teachers engaged in series of lively debates, talked about advantages and disadvantages of being an adult learner. We recognised that stress is the most common factor preventing adults from learning a foreign language. Karen talked about how Montessori Methods can help with minimising stress and maximising the potential of an individual.
