Software for the self-evaluation of foreign language communication needs

Objective

OBJECTIVES
Companies find it difficult to assess accurately the linguistic needs of their personnel, and to specify reliable training requirements for training providers. They are also hesitant to resort to linguistic audits. The quality and the effectiveness of language training fails to satisfy user expectations because training delivered does not respond to real needs. The objective of the project is to supply auto-audit software to companies and training organisations which will enable the self-assessment of needs in language training for an individual in a given way, and the evaluation of an individual's linguistic skills in a determined way, from either a recruitment or internal mobility viewpoint.

ACTIVITIES
A selection of sectors which have business dealings with foreign clients will first of all be established. Within each sector, those jobs where people are directly exposed to a foreign language will be identified. The required linguistic profiles of the identified jobs will then be determined by linguistic audits carried out in the companies. Finally the product will also be tested and evaluated in the companies.

PRODUCTS
The project will design linguistic self-audit software which will allow companies to obtain targeted training and to recruit according to precise evaluation criteria. The training centres will be able to design quality training that is well adapted to real, existing needs.
