Project Summary

Based on the Figures from Office of the European Union (Eurostat), the unemployment rate in the euro-area in February 2015 was 11.2%. A major problem that remains, above all in the southern and eastern European states is the high unemployment of youth under the age of 25 years. In accordance with the objectives of the Europe agenda 2020, this project aims to promote the employment and mobility of trainees, school and university students through the enhancement of linguistic and intercultural competences. Language skills are keys to modernizing the European education system and improving socio-economic structures.
Improving the language skills of trainees, school students´ and university students’ resulting in increased mobility and opportunities for integration into the European labor market. Poor language skills prevent professional mobility abroad and affect the competitiveness of European companies and organizations in an international level.
In the “Didactic-methodical Concepts for Vocational Language preparation as a Contribution to European Vocational Education” project, the school administrations of Lleida and Osnabruck, together with their eight partners, develop competent practical lectures and experiences of Spanish speaking students and students pursuing German as foreign language.
Secondly, it provides vocational students, job-related foreign language skills (DaF), intercultural competences and cultural knowledge.
The project leaders were the school administrations, the Spanish school inspectorate, vocational schools of the both regions, the universities of Bremen and Jena as well as a learning location for disadvantaged youth. The project activities were determined by the topics planning, monitoring and evaluation of vocational education in Spanish vocational schools. Through the didactic-methodical conception of the communicative job-oriented teaching of German as foreign language (DaF), a long-term lesson planning should be achieved in connection with the development and testing of vocational teaching materials for the teaching of lexical, morphological and syntactic structures. The project outcomes were available on the internet and in the print media. The focus is on a website with the project results conjugation trainer, vocabulary instructor and a picture glossary. Further planned project results, such as a methodology manual with exemplary teaching materials, instructions for application training and materials for teaching intercultural and regional learning contents were not comprehended.
It also focused on the internationalization of teacher education by teaching abroad, improving the foreign language skills of German students and developing co-operation between vocational education and training institutions and establishing cooperation between educational training institutions. The aim was to develop, use and disseminate innovative and Lerner/student-centered pedagogical approaches to improve language proficiency concerning professional education. The main goal of this project, in addition to increasing the language skills and the creation of methodical-didactic concepts for teaching, was the evening out the European educational level. The special and innovative aspect of this project was that German students of various professional orientations (German as foreign language and Romance studies) and the participating educational institutions of both countries developed subject-specific teaching contents that can be adopted and applied by other European educational institutions as well. The whole project is transferable to other European partner countries both in terms of organization and content. The sustainability of the project results from the activities and using of language learning and language teaching for both stakeholders and other European partners.
