The MOBLANG
project applies Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) to support
minority and/or less-frequently used and less-taught European
languages (LWULT). The aim is to promote intercultural dialogue
especially in former European conflict regions or regions with
many minority groups through promotion of linguistic diversity.
The focus is in Cyprus (Turkish), the Basque country (Basque),
Northern Ireland (Gaelic), and within as well as around Greece
(Albanian, Turkish). The project will develop the open-source
mobile learning environment 'MobLang' in which users can design
and publish their own prototype micro language courses. User specific
micro courses will be embedded in a social and cultural context,
which will include activities such as lectures, exercises, games,
quizzes, as well as access to a live tutor. Throughout the life
of the project and beyond, MobLang will be designed, developed,
published, and disseminated to children/pupils, teachers, parents,
students, business people, travellers, and individuals who want
to build strong and long-lasting friendships and relationships
with individuals from an ethnic minority group. |
