Objective
In Europe, inadequate second language skills make it difficult for the representatives of social partners in one country to understand the reasons for the implementation of labour market initiatives in another. If social partners are to play an active role in finding European solutions to structural problems in the labour market, representatives must develop their language skills to be able to participate constructively in the definition of innovative employment policies
This project aims to develop second language teaching models, in English, for this target group. This will be achieved by examining the labour market structures and policies - for example job rotation, leave schemes, unemployment initiatives, economic exclusion - in the participating countries and by identifying the obstacles to their being understood. The obstacles related to second language learning skills will be used to construct teaching models and be integrated into existing teaching modules. Language teaching will be conducted in face-to-face sessions, which will improve communication skills on labour-related topics. Products will include teaching modules and materials, study guides and language learning packs. Knowledge transfer packs developed from the model and designed for adaptation to other needs in other languages will be available.
Impact
The project will create an innovative modular framework for second language teaching to specific target groups, improve second language learning skills and enhance national and European employment policies and strategies.
