EurFriends - Module BENL-NLNL

Auteurs:  André Kött – Martine Verjans (UHasselt)

EUR.Friends BENL-NLNL* is a section of a 12-part series of online e-learning modules about languages-and-cultures across the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. The modules have been developed within the framework of EUR.Friends (Interreg VA).

The modules are free of charge (also for target groups outside the EMR) provided you enter the code EUR.Friends (Please pay attention to the use of capitals!) upon placement of the order.

The modules can be used on a tablet, PC, MAC and smartphone**. They are user-friendly and accessible 24/7. They are also highly suitable for complete self-study or semi-autonomous learning (i.e. supported by face-to-face assistance or e-coaching).

*Each online module has been developed in a contrastive way: a pragmatic approach where the target language/culture (i.e. the language or culture you wish to master) and the source language/culture (i.e. the language or culture which you already master) alternate in a judicious way (e.g. feedback in the source language).

*The module BENL-NLNL only treats culture, not only the cultural differences but also the similarities between the 2 subregions as well as the surrounding countries and regions. This should remove the risk of being misunderstood, even if you have a good command of the language, as culture has a considerable impact on the way we communicate with each other.

**though didactically less appealing due to the small screen
