Lingu@net Europa
Language learners get free web support
The Lingu@net Europa online resource centre has been re-launched with a focus on adult learners. Since 1999 it has been helping users find good quality resources on the Internet for language learning and teaching. The site has been developed by a consortium of educational, cultural and technical organisations throughout Europe. The Swedish Institute is one of the project partners.
The site has been totally re-designed, new content written, the number of resources more than doubled and new search engines developed. It now offers:
- Over 3,800 resources – many of them especially for adult language learners.
- 14 new access languages – Basque; Bulgarian; Catalan; Danish; Estonian; Finnish; Galician; Greek; Icelandic; Lithuanian; Maltese, Polish; Portuguese; and Swedish – in addition to the current six: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish.
- On-line guidance and advice for adult learners in the new sections researched and written for the project:
-
What's your level - where learners can analyse their language skills and find ways to assess them;
-
Ways to learn - where learners (and potential learners) can find new ways to learn langauges and keep motivated, including tips and success stories from throughout Europe:
-
Meeting point - to help learners communicate;
-
New ways of searching the resources, including by keyword, advanced searching or searching only learning materials.
