Language learners get free web support 19.05.06
A new EU-sponsored website has been launched to help adults who want to improve their language skills.
Lingu@net Europa helps learners understand their strengths and weaknesses, provides motivational tips and offers advice on overcoming common problems. The website also gives language learners the opportunity to test their new skills through e-mail exchanges, live chat and weblogs.
Phillipa Wright, who led the project for CILT, the National Centre for Languages said:
"The new Lingu@net Europa site will help people overcome the sorts of barriers they typically find when learning a language on their own. "
The website offers independent advice from experts across Europe and all of the resources are free.
Isabella Moore, Director of CILT, the National Centre for Languages added:
"The Lingu@net Europa site will supplement adult classes and other national and local provision, and I am sure both learners and professionals will welcome it as a source of encouragement and advice."
The Lingu@net Europa website has been developed by a consortium of expert educational, cultural and technical organisations throughout Europe and can already be accessed in 19 languages. It will be officially launched on 22nd May to mark the start of Adult Learners' Week in the UK.
