[edit] The Project

[edit] Short description

LIPS (Linguistic and Intercultural Preparation of Students for the workplace) is a European Commission-funded project. It has developed pilot measures to improve students' skills and competences for their successful completion of work experiences abroad (for example in an internship).

LIPS developed an online course which is based on key communicative situations; e.g. the first face-to-face meeting with the employer. In the course, Web 2.0 tools like podcasts and blogs are used. To create more awareness interactive video modules allow for a better visualisation and emotional impact.

Main results of the project:

    * Online course and learning materials for linguistic and intercultural training    * Orientation guideline for students    * Guideline for employers of international students
