Objective
The demand for effective, inexpensive foreign-language learning methods is growing due to the fact that companies are becoming more international and due to the need for European workers to become more mobile. The Lausetel project will study how sophisticated telecommunications tools facilitating contact between a learner and a native speaker in the target-language country can contribute to developing language skills inexpensively and as quickly as possible.
The project partners (three language schools and a research institute), who already have extensive experience with computer networks and multimedia systems, will use the Internet to set up a prototype training system. This prototype, which will put learners in contact with native speakers in the target-language country will be tested directly by the partners on their regular clients. They will also develop guidelines on materials and new educational methods needed to design such a training system.
Impact
Access to language learning facilitated by the use of new communications technologies.
