Sub-projects
The project comprises four sub-projects (work packages) that are interlinked and mutually supportive. The development of Swedish language learning materials is included in each sub-project, whenever applicable. Aalto University bears special responsibility for sub-project 1, the University of Helsinki for sub-projects 2–4. The Haaga-Helia, Laurea and Metropolia Universities of Applied Sciences bring expertise to each sub-project in their respective sectors. The leaders of each sub-project can be found on the contact information page.
The sub-projects and their implementation rely on current research-based knowledge relating to language learning and multilingual work communities. In our work, we apply currently ongoing research in the following areas: functional models of language teaching, interaction practices of the multilingual work community, language awareness and linguistic socialisation in the everyday life of the workplace, and digital solutions in support of the development of language skills.
The sub-projects are
1. Collaboration between higher education institutions in teaching Finnish or Swedish as a second language: a national collaboration model and an online portal
2. Digital solutions for language learning and teaching
3. Language pedagogy models for teaching and supervision
4. Language learning paths and models from higher education to employment
