LanGuide Project: Research and Professional Insights

Abstract

The primary goal of the LanGuide project was to set up the LanGuide Mobile App, which offers the stakeholders an opportunity to enhance their language knowledge of English, Croatian, Italian, Romanian, Slovenian and Spanish by just tapping on the mobile phone, without any charges, at any time and everywhere. Students, academic and administrative staff, the main target audience of the endeavour, are now able to choose among a range of specialist language domains (academic, secretarial, mobility and i t language) at various proficiency levels (basic, intermediate and advanced), in order to practice their language skills in a self-study mode.The main objectives of LanGuide Mobile App are:-to offer stakeholders within the academia and to a larger public a language learning tool at their fingertips, -to provide a set of exercises in a chosen foreign language that can enhance their communicative skills by focusing on common communicative situations within the academic settings, -to enable stakeholders easy access to language practice wherever they are and whenever they may wish to spend a little time to improve their language skills.
