Policy Partners
Both the administrative framework and the operative development setting of LINGONAIZER foresee a crucial role for representatives of educational authorities and / or policy-making in our project consortium: Whereas the schools as the main end-users of the “application in spe” allow us a genuinely user-centred and iterative development process through continuous piloting activities and feedback, it is the educational authorities and/or instances of policy-making and -implementation that, through their crucial role as an advisory and supporting body, enable us to strive for project results with large-scale impact and policy-oriented uptake – and this in a project setting so often wished for also in the field of (institutional) language education: in a constructive dialogue and operative interplay between school practice, research and policy-making.
Have a look below for a quick overview of the main support functions and contributions initially foreseen for our policy partners.
