Leonardo da Vinci Lifelong Learning Programme Project

This project reports on the achievements and challenges encountered in the development of the ISUS German language learning materials, as part of the Leonardo da Vinci Lifelong Learning Programme. Key achievements include team building, revision of the existing syllabus, and the creation of new study units. The report outlines challenges faced in two phases, including team dynamics, recruitment, and maintaining communication among developers. With a focus on grammar progression and vocabulary alignment, we aim to enhance learner engagement and effectiveness in using these materials moving forward.

  2. Material development on ISUS German material

  3. What did we achieve until now? • team building • revision of former syllabus and material • creation of new syllabus for level 1 to 3 • development of new units 1.01 to 3.20

  4. Challenges in phase 1 • to build a reliable team • to become acquainted with the ISUS platform • to deal with the original German syllabus and the material

  5. Challenges in phase 2 • to recruit new developers • to create a new syllabus on level 2 and 3 • to keep the developers up to date • to be in time with the documentation (for the developers and for the project)

  6. Team Building • Phase 1: (November – December 2011) • the coordinator had to get experience in the development work as well • an experienced trainer left the team • coordinator and a trainer with less experience had to develop the 10 units • final dead line could not be met

  7. Team Building • Phase 2: (January to March 2011) • 2 new developers from the beginning of February • one trainer always met the dead lines • one trainer did not meet the dead lines, but did very good work • final dead line could not be met • coordination has to be more effective

  8. Acquaintance with the platform • Phase 1: • introduction through our English trainers • trial lessons with ISUS (coordinator) • login (coordinator) • Phase 2: • introduction through coordinator • trial lessons with ISUS (did not work out) • login

  9. Revision of the Original Material • grammarprogression, vocabularyandspeakingactivitiesare not relatedto German as a Foreignlanguage • grammarandvocabulary do not fit together

  12. Creation of the Syllabus • Coordinator delivers the grammar progression and a list of vocabulary and speaking issues for the next level • developers only stick to the grammar progression • cooperation with our developers concerning the vocabulary, speaking and writing activities

  13. Creation and Development • syllabus is kept up to date by the coordinator • new version is sent out to developers before they are going to start with new lessons

  14. Revision of the Material • Original German units: • no grammar progression • grammar explanations not adequate for the level • most of the activities far to difficult for the level • most of the activities were not authentic and not interesting for the learner

  15. Outstanding Challenges • to deal withthefeedbackfromtheuniversityofUlster • changinganduploadingtheunitsoflevel 1 • toget an overviewof all thewordsandstructurescovereduntilpresent
