Background
Preserving language and cultural diversity in education is increasingly supported by educational planners worldwide.
But multilingual educational programs need more pedagogical material which include local content and intercultural understanding.
As the application of information and communication technologies can offer opportunities in education, and can be shared through the Internet, multilingual language learning tools available online can contribute to meet these aspirations and needs.
Objectives
The launching of the database aims at nurturing language and cultural diversity in education, preventing from isolation of some languages, and protecting endangered languages. It has therefore the following objectives:
- Encourage and support the development and use of pedagogical material for multilingual education.
- Promote distant and multilingual language learning aiming at improving access and quality in education for all.
Strategy
- Gather ICT-based language learning programmes , particularly those seeking to support literacy and acquisition of local languages. Priority will be given to language resources that are multilingual and available freely to users.
- Put the database online to offer free access to online resources and share experiences related to teaching and learning languages from experiences worldwide.
- Create an evaluation grid with criteria to help in using and creating other resources.
