e-CAL - e-Coaching et Apprentissage des Langues

e-Coaching et Apprentissage des Langues /N° de projet : 2015-1-FR01-KA204-015334
Teachers/language supporters will find five manuals covering language teaching methods including
the explanation of these methods and the examples of exercises/lesson plans:
http://www.languages.dk/methods/index.html#Computer_assisted_language_learning_in_context;
http://www.languages.dk/methods/index.html#Task_based_learning_/_teaching_ ;
http://www.languages.dk/methods/index.html#Tandem_Learning ;
http://www.languages.dk/methods/index.html#Simulations ;
http://www.languages.dk/methods/index.html#The_Physical-
Emotional_and_Cultural_approach_(PhyEmoC)
What may be relevant to eCAL project is that on the website
http://www.languages.dk/tools/index.htm there is also information on the preceding projects and
very interesting teaching tools that were developed within these projects like: Clilstore – where
students find videos at their level on various topics, with transcripts, where every word is linked to a
choice of online dictionaries in their own language or where teachers can create, store and organise
multimedia wordlinked learning units for use by students; Wordlink – links almost any website
automatically word- by- word to online dictionaries or Multidict which enables switching between
online dictionaries in many languages.

2. Target groups
Target group defined on the project’s website are LWUTL teachers, particularly in technical colleges.
The group was chosen due to lack of ICT materials available for these less common languages. LWUTL
teachers who want to use modern tools have to prepare their own materials, but they may simply lack
the knowledge on where to find them, how to use them or how to produce them. In this aspect target
group is relevant to eCAL Language Supporters.

3.1. Thematic Area Competence
Describe the solution from the perspective of eCAL
Project Pools 3 is relevant to eCAL in terms of ICT competence of teachers/trainers or in case of eCAL
project language supporters. From the methodological point of view the idea is similar- teaching
process is based on modern tools like educational software, social media, podcasts, and teachers here
act as facilitators of this process, or they can help in assessment of the learners’ progress, but what is
important here is their knowledge and competence in using these tools, ability to search for
appropriate materials in the Internet, creating appropriate courses using ORE. For these reasons Pools
3 project seems to be quite relevant to eCAL as it presents a comprehensive methodological
knowledge that can be implemented by Language Supporters.
