Data di Pubblicazione:

Abstract:
Through the experience of
pluralistic approaches, with a particular focus on intercomprehension
(IC), students, teachers, and administrative staff can be trained to
communicate with each other by using their mother tongue. Within the
European University Alliance UNITA-Universitas montium a whole
work package (WP3) is dedicated to implementing intercomprehension
for the first time on a large scale, empowering both students, staff, and
citizens through active use of IC strategies. WP3 is developing and testing
new syllabuses and creating new resources which have already started to
produce excellent results in terms of openness to linguistic and cultural
diversity, autonomous and learner-centred language learning, and
motivation in the area of language learning. At the end of the first phase
of the European Universities Initiative UNITA will provide a wide range
of materials to be shared and disseminated in the EHEA and beyond to
foster practices of international multilingual communication in academia
