The LanGuide Project - Strengths and Threats

The project “Language guidance tool for improving language knowledge” (LanGuide) is supported by the Erasmus+ program Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education. The project duration is 36 months. The coordinating institution is the University of Primorska, and the partner institutions are Mälardalen University, the University of Castilla - La Mancha, Transilvania University of Brașov, and two Croatian universities — the University of Zadar, and the University of Rijeka. The main aim of the project is to build an open access students/teachers/administrative staff centered mobile app for improving language knowledge. To achieve the goal, the first phase of the project is concerned with the development of a universal methodology for the preparation of language exercises focused on language for specific purposes. In the second phase, the methodology is applied in the preparation of language resources for six languages in four LSP fields at different levels of difficulty. Appropriate IT tools are developed simultaneously with the preparation of exercises. Finally, the developed tools and resources are evaluated through two rounds of user testing. This paper first describes the motivation behind the project proposal. Next, each of the four intellectual outputs and activities carried out within the project are described. Finally, challenges such as the one brought about by the pandemic of COVID-19 are highlighted.
