EN

The empirical research the paper is based on was carried out in forms of workshops organized for groups of international teacher trainees between 2009 and 2012. The aim of these workshops was to master a “learning by doing” experiential model by which language literacy can be effectively developed or improved. The topic is discussed in its complexity, highlighting some important issues of teacher training internationally, and also the still controversial situation of alternative education that tailors its curriculum to the pupils and students’ needs and facilitates such methods as the one the paper details on.
