Home of European Language Learning Opportunities (Hello!) Project

Pilot project, 01 Jan 2014 - 31 Dec 2014, , Netherlands

StudyPortals is very happy and proud to announce a new and important step in helping the world to choose (for) education: The Home of European Language Learning Opportunities. Hello! has been selected for funding by the European Commission under the LLP action KA2 languages. This project develops the LanguageLearningPortal to find and compare language courses of any language taught in Europe. We do this together with:



Linguaid: the only consultancy firm specialised in working with corporate language schools and trainers (http://linguaid.net/)



LLAS (Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies): research and enterprise group specialising in educational projects and professional development in the area of languages and related studies. (https://www.llas.ac.uk/)



Why?

Speaking a foreign language expands your world and opens doors to new cultures - and makes all mobility (from short trips to working in a foreign country) a richer experience. Language skills are crucial in a globalising world and labour market. Our partner LLAS provides 700 reasons!



What?

Hello! will enable anyone to find and compare language courses of any language taught in Europe – while providing language institutes with an excellent way to centrally present their offers.



By improving the information infrastructure Hello! results in LanguageLearningPortal.com:

- A comprehensive pan-European database and search engine listing at least 2,000 courses covering all official EU languages;

- A self-assessment wizard recommending courses matching the profiles of potential learners;

- A Multimedia Library offering videos, articles, interviews and 24 European language and culture spotlights.

Intertwining these resources with important European initiatives such as the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and language labels, supports potential language learners to choose a quality course.



Who?

Hello! reaches out to all potential language learners worldwide and European institutes that offer language learning opportunities. Not only will we enable them to easily find, compare and select language courses in Europe. We will also make them aware of all the benefits of foreign languages. With an awareness campaign we will reach out to our main target groups: high school pupils, HE students and adult learners. An institution campaign will be aimed at visiting major language fairs and making language institutes aware of the LanguageLearningPortal.



Like this, hello! will empower millions of individuals to enhance their foreign language skills and as such, attribute to personal and professional growth of many!
