Description
The project Communicating in Multilingual Contexts meets the Enterprises aims to find out if there is shortages
of foreign languages in companies in the regions where the partners of the project are located and provides a virtual
learning environment offering language learning materials in six different languages thus opening up opportunities for better
trained, and thus more competitive, future and in-service employees. A needs analysis survey of foreign language
competences in companies was carried out in order to identify the key language competences commonly required by
different sectors of the labour market and design relevant language materials. These materials are being piloted in order to
assess their efficiency and reformulate minor issues. This paper presents the project, relevant data from the survey, the
materials designed and the first results of the piloting phase. LifeLong Learning Programme 2007-2013
