LANGUAGE LEARNING AND SOCIAL MEDIA – 6 Key dialogues

A unique mix of activities exploring the relationship of language learning and social media in the web 2.0 era: Participatory debates, award-winning competitions, policy recommendations and reports, scientific publications and field studies.

By placing "language learning and social media" at the core of the network, the 14 partner institutions of national, European and international reach will examine 6 key dimensions of this combination. These fundamental dimensions are:

• Language learning, social media and social inclusion
• Language learning, social media and development of language resources
• Language learning and teaching through social media in new EU countries: the case of Romania, Latvia and Poland
• Language learning, social media and multilingualism
• Language learning through social media: evolution of teaching practices
• Language learning and teaching in formal and non formal contexts through ICT

Two new dimensions have been added in June 2011:

• Social media and Interculturality in language education
• Socializing and learning languages in web 2.0 communities

Each dimension (or key dialogue) is enriched by analysis and exploitation of data related to the topic. Reports, comparative studies, special issues of online journals, field analysis and open competitions complete the range of network outcomes.The views expressed are purely those of the authors and may not be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission.
