Objective
This project aims to develop hybrid distance learning material for Greeks and Italians working in the hotel industry. The materials will be designed to develop oral comprehension and reading skills to enable end-users to communicate with German speaking clients. It will be used for the continuous vocational training of professionals in this sector through either on-the-job CD-ROM based self learning/in-class training or distance learning tool via internet.
The project will make extensive use of material developed under a former LINGUA project, WILLKOMMEN IN GRIECHENLAND [Media-supported German-Greek and Greek-German foreign language training programme in two professional areas]. The materials will be developed according to the specific language needs of hotel employees. It will comprise methodology and manuals, and be divided into 15 modules comprising with reading and comprehension exercises using simulation and interactive procedures. Trainees will have on-line and/or off-line access to language training materials. For on-line users, language testing and assessment will run parallel with the hybrid application and the answers/results communicated via e-mail. For off-line users, answers/results will be presented at the end of each module. Project results will be disseminated through the partnership network, presentations to professional organisations, workshops, the media and training establishments.
Impact
The project will lead to enhanced vocational training and improved foreign language skills. It will also promote the use of new technology in vocational training.
