E-learning at the Workplace
The project developed methods on workplace-related language teaching for bilinguals. The social and health (SOSU) sector was chosen for pilot testing because a lot of bilingual workers are being recruited in this sector. Under the project, electronic-based teaching materials were developed for bilinguals who are either employed or are doing internships nursing homes.

The project was supported by the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, and implemented by VIFIN in partnership with the IT firm, Futurecom and the Social and Health Schools in Århus and Fredericia.

A focus group composed of bilingual students with experience in the social and health sector was formed. Material development was then based on the key elements identified by the focus group. The themes, telephone calls and journal writing, were eventually chosen as focus areas.

The materials have been posed to the website www.danskakademiet.dk, and was tested by SOSU trainees. The training design was composed of self-study and "live-teaching" with the use of headsets and web cameras.
