Our main goal was to create an innovative teaching model for improving speaking skills of bilingual youth and immigrant learners, develop a CEFR-aligned curriculum, and build a digital learning environment supported by interactive dialogue videos. We aimed to establish lasting collaboration among partner institutions, enhance teachers’ capacity to use technology-based methods, and promote language learning enriched by cultural interaction. By the end of the project, our objective was to achieve measurable improvements in learners’ communicative competence and to produce sustainable digital resources.
We applied for this project to address the lack of effective tools for developing speaking skills among bilingual Turkish youth in Europe and young immigrants in Turkey. Existing language teaching methods were insufficient in providing interactive, technology-driven solutions that build communicative competence. There was also a clear need to create a shared curriculum with international partners and to strengthen cultural exchange. The absence of scenario-based, multi-choice dialogues and interactive learning resources was a key motivation for the project. By developing technology-supported language teaching models, we aimed to fill this gap and establish sustainable collaboration among educators and institutions.
