European Network for Combining Language Learning with Crowdsourcing Techniques

 

Project no.: CA16105

Project description:

The enetCollect Action addresses the major European challenge of fostering the language skills of all citizens regardless of their diversified social, educational, and linguistic backgrounds. To this end, the Action is concerned with the domain of Language Learning and focuses on enhancing the production of learning material in order to cope with the increasing demand for language learning and the striking diversification of learner profiles due to the intensified migration flows motivated by educational, professional/economic or geopolitical circumstances. EnetCollect also aims at fostering initiatives of crowdsourcing language learning material and language-related datasets.

Project funding:

COST actions


Project results:

KTU researchers coauthored three research articles and a conference presentation during the lifetime of the project. The results of a pan-European survey demonstrate language teachers’ awareness of the potential value of crowdsourced materials in language teaching and learning. The findings justify the need for more initiatives in creating crowdsourced materials supporting teachers in educational practices.
