Proje Özeti

READY STUDY GO AROUND THE WORLD (2012-2014) will follow the European Language Award 2008 winning Ready-Study-Go Leonardo Language project for linguistic and cultural coaching. RSG 2005-2008 was a project which planned and created e-learning packages for language and cultural training for an on-the-job learning period. The project was initiated by Omnia. The languages were Estonian, Finnish, French, German and Italian. In the follow up project Ready-Study-Go Ahead! (2009-2011) the initial innovation was transferred to vehicle sector and to three new languages (Spanish, Swedish and Turkish). The aim of the RSGA World! is to transfer the innovation to two new languages, Japanese and Hungarian. This project will create both general language package for both languages and sector specific packages for the hotel and restaurant and vehicle in Hungarian. In addition, the original innovation will be transferred to the social and healthcare sector. As another transfer of innovation, the aim of the project is also to pilot new methods of learning, namely promoting social networking (Second Life as a learning environment focusing on co-operative learning as well as language learning) which is not place or time depending and presenting the material in a mobile application thus making it possible to use the material in real life working situations in work places more easily.

Also, employees of the on-the-job learners' will be able to use the material in their personnel training. Partnership: The material is developed by teams of vocational and language teachers. This enables development of language teaching integrated with vocational content.
