The YoGoTe project tries to promote the use of international signs among people who speak different languages. This introduces a multilingual and also interlinguistic perspective into language learning:
- Multilingual language learning means that there is a wide variety of languages we could learn, and the method is the same for all of them, based on the use of common international gestures.
- Interlinguistic language learning refers to the fact that through the use of a common methodology and didactic resources (signos internacionali) there is the possibility of being a student and a teacher, at the same time, and in a reciprocal way:
I teach you my language and you teach me yours
This new concept in the field of language learning and multilingualism is possible thanks to the use of international signs, which open up the possibility of establishing two-way learning bridges between different languages.
This will be possible through the production of Language Lessons and the establishment of Language Clubs in schools in different countries, where members can carry out interesting activities in the chosen languages, as in the following Experiences.
or even a Global Market proposal implemented at local levels.
Collaborative work is proposed in order to add new languages and try to create a network where Reciprocal Language Learning is possible, with special reference to the promotion of multilingualism within the framework of the UNESCO Associated Schools Project (multilingASP).
