Engaging Languages in Intercultural Virtual Exchange
LATEST NEWS - April 10, 2024 - Multiplier Event
The Erasmus+ E-LIVE project (Engaging languages in intercultural virtual exchange) focuses on developing innovative, digital teaching methods to improve the quality of modern foreign language teaching by placing meaningul and authentic interaction at the centre through intercultural virtual exchange. On April 10th, we invite you to join us on campus in Clermont-Ferrand, France or online for a one-day seminar 'Designing engaging tasks for intercultural virtual exchanges'.
Please join us at this link: https://shorturl.at/bkUY4
We will be using the Teams platform but you do not necessarily need Microsoft Teams installed on your computer: you can open the meeting in your Internet browser.
During the morning session, primary and secondary school teachers involved in the project from France, Spain and the Netherlands will showcase some of the virtual exchange tasks they have been using with their pupils. Two hands-on workshops will be offered in the afternoon: one around task design for intercultural virtual exchange, the other focusing on using the virtual world FrameVR in virtual exchange.
Please find attached the full programme. You can sign up here for on campus participation (deadline April 2nd) and here for online participation.
We hope you can join us!
