Wikis have been extensively used in language teaching for collaborative writing. However, there are very few studies about wikis as holistic learning environments. To fill this niche, the present research project aimed to explore the potential of the wiki as a platform for knowledge building and personalized learning that may enhance lifelong learning and students' self-regulation. Individual learning paths were encouraged by the introduction of a personalized evaluation system, in which points were given for any task the students had completed. A further aim was to find out about students' perceived language development, their disposition towards the wiki and the evaluation system with the help of mid-course and end-ofcourse questionnaires. The participants of the study were 26 tourism BA students at a university in Budapest who used the wiki for all the three terms of their language course. Results show that the integration of a wiki in a professional English course in higher education is received positively by the students.
Tanulmányunkban az autonóm nyelvtanulás támogatását célzó CORALL (Coaching-oriented Online Resources for the Autonomous Learning of Languages for Specific Purposes) Erasmus+ Stratégia Partnerség a Felsőoktatásban projekt eddigi eredményeit mutatjuk be. A projekt célja, hogy szaknyelvoktatási környezetben is alkalmazható autonóm nyelvtanulást támogató eszköztárat hozzon létre angol, német és spanyol nyelven. A projekt megszólítja a szaknyelvoktatókat és a szaknyelvet tanuló hallgatókat, a nyelvtanulói felelősségvállalás és tudatosság fejlesztésével igyekszik hozzájárulni a nyelvi kurzusokon folyó munka eredményességének növeléséhez és segíti a kurzusokon kívüli nyelvtanulást. A szaknyelvoktatás mellett az összegyűjtött jó gyakorlatok és a kidolgozott eszközök nagy része az általános nyelvoktatás területén is alkalmazható, illetve inspiráló lehet. A tanulmányban az elméleti háttér bemutatását követően áttekintést nyújtunk az eddigi projekteredményekről és röviden bemutatunk néhány elkészült eszközt az első és második szellemi termékből. Az eszközök a projekt honlapján szerkeszthető formában hozzáférhetők.
