Foreseen Outcomes

The following outcomes are foreseen in the siLang work plan. All outcomes are the subject of the evaluation strategy design described in this document:


 * An analysis of the current situation in countries represented in the consor-tium through project partner organizations, namely Greece, Norway, Estonia, Italy, and Portugal, in relation to:
 * Didactical approaches used towards professional language education,
 * Existing services and language learning practices targeting professionals,
 * Deployment of ICT in general and serious games in particular to-wards language education,
 * Accreditation related to professional language skills
 * A situated learning framework for professional language education. The framework will expose learners to typical use of vehicular languages in the context of professional communication. Activity-based learning will draw inspiration from real-life aiming to empower professionals to apply newly developed competences directly on the job
 * A language-learning serious game with a focus on promoting communica-tion capacity on vehicular languages taking into account cultural influen-ces and communication context
 * Good practice examples on the integration of the proposed serious game and situated learning approaches into language learning practices in the form of a video gallery that demonstrates the usage of the siLang applica-tion and examples from actual deployment
 * A wiki targeting language educators that will provide insight on emerging learning approaches and technology that offer the potential of enhancing existing practices (the one that you are currently accessing)
 * Evaluation results from the deployment of the proposed situated learning methodologies and language learning games in real-life learning experi-ments in Greece, Norway, Estonia, Italy, and Portugal
 * A project portal
 * Informational material in printable form
 * A bi-annual project newsletter providing updates on project activities, pro-gress, and interim outcomes
 * Publications to conferences
 * Presentations to stakeholders for dissemination purposes
 * Workshops in Greece, Norway, Estonia, Italy, and Portugal promoting the adoption of siLang outcomes by the targeted professional training com-munity
