3.1.Thematic Area Comp<strong>et</strong>ence<br />
Describe the solution from the perspective of e<strong>CAL</strong><br />
The portal assists the tutors with didactic ideas and gives them an opportunity to use and develop<br />
their digital comp<strong>et</strong>ences by creating exercises and by stimulating students’ use of virtual<br />
communication tools and moderating forum discussions.<br />

3.2.Thematic Area Process<br />
Describe the solution from the perspective of e<strong>CAL</strong><br />
The portal’s lessons are organised in 5 learning areas. Each lesson consists of a video and 4<br />
sections of exercises, each learning unit has 5 exercises: learning objectives of the exercises are<br />
explicitly presented. Exercises or parts of exercises (words, images) can be saved for later<br />
reference. A dictionary can be put tog<strong>et</strong>her by each user. Spell-checking, extra information and<br />
help videos are available. Each lesson is followed by test of grammar and vocabulary for the<br />
student to check if he/she fulfilled the learning objectives.<br />
Alongside grammar and vocabulary, reading & writing and listening & speaking are taught.<br />
No assessment of needs (placement test) is provided but the learner can have a look at<br />
different material and try knowledge tests following each lesson to find the right level of<br />
difficulty. The approach is satisfactorily motivating.<br />
