VINTAGE

VET Integrated Language Learning

The VINTAGE project aims at developing an innovative approach to addressing the difficulties and challenges of teachers and trainers enabling them to design personalized didactical activities valuing VET learning settings and respecting the individual needs, autonomy, and responsibility of the learners.

Project Details:

The Vintage project postulates that learning a language should go hand in hand with career development. In recent years, convincing results point in the direction of integrating the needs of the labor market into language learning. As a next step, the teaching of a language must be integrated into continuing education
Combining the two approaches allows for greater learner motivation and better learning.
VINTAGE is inspired by the Swiss project “Fide – learn, teach, evaluate (http://www.fide-info.ch/fr/), launched by the Federal Office for Migration – ODM with the objective of linguistic integration of migrants.

Vintage project participants have, a level of French as a foreign language A2-B1 and meet the following two profiles:

  1. Foreign students 28+ and part of continuing education or apprentices;
  2. Migrants with little or no qualifications or whose qualifications are not recognized in the French labor market.
