The development of linguistic materials for aquaculture

Objective

The aim of this pilot project is to develop language training materials for the rapidly growing aquaculture industry. Within this industry, there is a need for close communication between producers and buyers. Products are often produced in one country and processed in another, and there are considerable differences between countries' preferences in relation to the end product. There is, therefore, a need for effective communication between aquaculture industry regions, which are often situated in coastal areas where language competence is not sufficiently high to enable producers to communicate effectively with their customers in another country.

In order to improve the situation outlined above, the aim of this project is to devise, develop, and test language training materials tailored to the specific requirements of this sector. They will be targeted at students in initial vocational training and aquaculture industry staff working in production, processing and sales.

The textbook product will contain exact translations of specific terminology in French, English and Norwegian. It will be practically based, as opposed to solely academic. In addition to the printed material, audio-cassettes and electronic materials such as CD-ROM will also be produced.

Impact
The products will allow young people to acquire practical hands-on experience in a foreign country while training. They will also enable fish farmers to develop better cooperation and communication strategies with SMEs in different countries.
