The VOCAL Project, Vocationally Orientated Culture and Language
Last week myself and some of my colleagues attended the EdTech Conference at the National College of Ireland in Dublin, http://www.ilta.net, and attended some very interesting talks.
One of these talks was particularly interesting to those in the language teaching and learning field and it was presented to us by Kristan Brogan and Riana Walsh from the Institute of Technology Tallaght, Dublin. Kristan and Riana are two of the main people involved in a project called The VOCAL Project and they presented a paper entitled “On-line language learning and cultural preparation for residence abroad” and this talk centred around The VOCAL Project (Vocationally Oriented Culture and Language – www.vocalproject.ie).
To find out more about this innovative project which includes the development of a website for learners preparing for mobility placement in vocational settings and it covers ten different languages.
