The project promotes technical German language skills for young trainee machine-builders in CZ, SK and F. The language partners are based in D and A. Language learning materials are to be developed for nine core areas of machine construction/mechanical engineering, based on communications-oriented multimedia learning methods. The learning and teaching materials will first be tested in language courses; subsequently, testing will be extended to forms of individual learning, distance learning with the help of an Internet tutor, chat and discussion forums on the Internet and exchange visits. The courses will be backed up by evaluation programmes on user-friendliness, training impact, correctness and technical relevance.Supplementary framework curricula will be developed so that the language courses can be incorporated in the syllabus of vocational schools, specialised colleges, university faculties and chambers of commerce.Concrete results after 36 months: A manual in CZ, SK and FR, Internet learning modules modules, CD-Roms and modules for teletutoring, which can also be transferred to other European countries.
