e-CAL - e-Coaching et Apprentissage des Langues

e-Coaching et Apprentissage des Langues /N° de projet : 2015-1-FR01-KA204-015334
MIDRIL develops a virtual learning environment (VLE) that facilitates computerized learning or
elearning. MIDRIL offers education via computer-mediated communication (CMC) or Online
Education. Several arguments can be found to explain why http://learningapps.org was selected as
Training and Testing Environment :
- available in a broad range of European languages it make possible to further develop the apps
following the MIDRIL curriculum and adapting it to the national requirement;
- is for free;
- it allows not only the developer of the content but also the user of the learning app to further
develop content which is an example for user generated content.
- a dynamic learning environment creation;
- it can be used via multiple devices (computer, tablet, smartphone etc.) therefore a variety of
learning spaces can be used.
- trainers have the opportunity to monitor the progress of learning of each student.

Based on the complexity, range and the level of learning expected from trainees, MIDRIL Qualification
descriptor was settled at the European Qualification Framework (EQF) Level 2, allowing thus,
depending on each country needs, the further development into a higher qualification level.

Describe the solution from the perspective of eCAL
It follows an active “learning by doing methodology” and refers to:
• A Curriculum framework which outlines specific knowledge, skills and competences (prototype
version for languages A2 (EQF- common reference levels for languages) and ECVET-points under EQF-
Level 2;) which migrants must acquire for living and working);
• National cultural differences and needs should meet the requirements of the training in the 5
countries (Austria, France, Portugal, Bulgaria, Greece)
• A Training manual for blended learning (including online training via web-apps)
• A testing, which requires a high standard of performance (prototype version EQF-Level for
languages A2 and ECVET-points under EQF-Level 2) to receive a cerfification via Skills Card: “PASSPORT
OF INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCES”:
The learning and testing is covering 4 Modules within 5 108 APPS cin 6 Languages (English,
German, Portugese, Bulgarian, Greek, French): 648 apps in total.
The solution is not freely open to everyone. To access the course learners need to contact one of
