Project: Lingu@net Worldwide

Lingu@net EU was developed over the last 12 years with support from the EU (in 1998-2001, and 2003-2006). In 2007 it was awarded the MERLOT prize for being ‘exemplary on-line learning material for all disciplines’ (www.merlot.org) and in 2008 Lingu@net EU was awarded the European Commission’s Gold prize in the "European Lifelong Learning Awards for quality in mobility" (http://ec.europa.eu/education/languages/news/news1687_en.htm).

By the end of the project Lingu@net World Wide will:

·    give access to over 5,000 (currently 3,700) good quality online resources
·    provide online support and advice for language learners in 32 (currently 20) languages
·    reach over 400,000 (currently 100,000) visits per month by October 2011.

Lingu@net WW will add the following 12 new interface languages:

·    7 new European  languages to complete all 23 official EU languages:  
          o Czech (CS)
          o Hungarian (HU)
          o Irish (GA)
          o Latvian (LV)
          o Romanian (RO)
          o Slovak (SK)
          o Slovene (SL)

·    5 new world languages:
          o Arabic (AR)
          o Chinese (ZH)
          o Hindi (HI)
          o Japanese (JA)
          o Russian (RU)

Adding these 12 new languages to Lingu@net Europa will help:

·    give better access to online resources for learning languages (i.e. users can access materials and support for language learning in their mother tongue);
·    give wider access to online resources for learning these new languages by making them accessible via 32 language interfaces;
·    support language acquisition for migrants throughout the EU;
·    act as show-case world-wide for EU-produced resources;
·    continue to disseminate good quality results of EU language-related projects; and
·    allow Lingu@net to continue its work towards sustainability for the project as a whole.
