In line with EU language policy and its efforts to promote mobility and intercultural understanding, language acquisition and multilingualism represent important elements of the EU’s language policy, promoting the knowledge of 2 languages in addition to the mother tongue. In line with the linguistic background of the EU policy the project “LanGuide” is focused on internationalised education, growing use of digital learning, and supporting the creation of flexible learning pathways in line with users’ needs and objectives. Referring to this, the objectives of the project “LanGuide” are to build an open access students/teachers/administrative staff centered guidance tool for improving language knowledge and supporting the acquisition of language knowledge through the language guidance tool. Within the project we will promote the internationalization of the higher education programmes and the usage of up-to-date IT technologies. The project LanGuide joins 6 project partners coming from five linguistic and geographical parts of Europe. The project partners gather 6 universities specialised in language acquisition and software development. Within the project activities we will jointly develop a common methodology for the preparation of guidelines focused on language for specific purposes (LSP). The developed methodology will be implemented in the preparation of language resources, covering 3 levels of difficulty, for preselected LSP fields for English. The developed resources will be included in the language guidance tool software and mobile app. In the final part of the project, resources for preselected LSP fields for the languages of the project partners will be included into the software and mobile app.
