The
first issue discussed during the second day of the meeting was
the future development of the language learning material. This
issue was of great importance as the material should be finished
by the end of January 2003. The development of the exercises was
a very important part of this discussion. The content as well
as the format of the exercises was discussed in details. At the
end of this conversation the partnership decide to develop multiple
choice exercises. The content of the exercises will be text comprehension
and vocabulary. Further more the partnership decided to have two
exercises for every language learning scenario. Each exercise
will have three different options. The limited number of the exercises
is due to the technical parameters of the PDA devices.
Concerning the development of the vocabulary the partnership decided
to have one general vocabulary that will correspond to all the
scenarios as well as specific vocabularies for each one of the
scenarios. The first step for the development of the scenarios
will be the construction of the vocabulary from English to German
and vise versa. Responsible for this task is Mrs. Katsabi, representing
Mewcat. Concerning the development of the material it was also
decided to develop two more scenarios, "at the airport"
and "The Olympic Games of 2004". The deadline for
the development of the exercises and the vocabulary will be the
15th of December 2002.
The
next two trials that will be realized during the project's run
were the next issue discussed. Mrs. Malliou pointed out
that special emphasis on the evaluation process that should be
held during the trials.
Moving
on to the financial aspects of the project a presentation was
given by Mr. Sofoklis Sotiriou who explained to the partners how
they should deal with their budget and how this budget can be
broken down (staff costs, travels, technology etc.)
The
last subject discussed over the meeting was the dissemination
plan. Mrs. Malliou pointed out the importance of disseminating
the project's results and outcomes. Publications in educational
magazines, presentations in conferences are measures for a successful
dissemination that should be taken by all partners. At last the
partnership discussed about the project's closing event that will
be realized in September 2003 in Greece.
