The first transnational meeting for the project Enjoy Language took place in Sweden, on the 19th and 20th of December 2011.
Overall and Specific objectives:
The overall objective of the project is to enable young male working in the tourist sector with particular “foreign language learning resistance” to establish their “enjoying language” by increasing their interest and uptake of foreign languages and to increase their participation in the life long learning society.
In order to achieve this, the specific objectives are:
- To develop foreign language training methodology and concepts by employing learning contents that reflect the personal preferences and interests of the target group, such as tourist attractions, useful phrases etc. in order to attract participation and increase motivation to take up foreign language learning.
- To develop a Handbook and methodological tool box containing sections for the special requirements of the following target groups: Entrepreneurs in the tourist sector, people working in the tourist sector.
- To include aspects of diversity, especially of the cultural and social background of the learners in order to overcome sectorial divides and other cultural differences.
- To include the use of ICT as a very useful incentive to agree on further learning, especially foreign language learning, because for some tourist entrepreneurs it’s easier to use ICT because of the time schedule they have.
- To spread the project contents and results through a variety of demonstration and dissemination activities.
