PEAPL: European Platform for Personalized Learning of Languages

Programma di finanziamento: ERASMUS+ KA201 2020

Ente finanziatore: Commissione Europea

Responsabile scientifico: Edith Cognigni

Ruolo UniMC: partner

Durata: 36 mesi

The PEAPL project stems from a close collaboration between schools and higher education. The domain of research will feed that in schools which will, in turn, lead to further research. The horizontal priority of the project concerns « Innovative practices in a digital era » to which two additional priorities are added with respect to the two fields of research and experimentation:

1. For higher education: « Building inclusive higher education systems »

2. For schools: « Reinforcing the development of key competences ». The chosen themes are as follows: a. Research and innovation b. New innovative curricula / educational methods / development of training courses.

The strategic partnership involves nine partner organizations from four countries (France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland). The PEAPL project is intended to develop adaptive learning in language teaching aiming to successfully include allophone learners. The project includes 5 intellectual outputs:

1. Adaptive Learning module development;

2. EduGamesHub multilingual web platform;

3. ASKER exercise generators;

4. Educational resources also including a teaching repository for each language and for each field of experimentation of the platform;

5. A toolkit for teachers facilitating training in the use of PEAPL.

Two platforms (1 & 2) are to be developed in parallel and will come together at the end of the contract so as to:

• allow the adaptive learning tool to make use of learners' traces for the elaboration of personalized courses;

• broaden the educational possibilities offered to the teacher.
