Summary of the activities
Promotion of languages including: English as a foreign language, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Arabic and Chinese through the four 'skills' of each language. This has been devised through a didactically produced e-learning software program, 'Capturator' which takes the learner through each part of the language step - by - step. Through this new type of tool users have the possibility of accessing any updates that are done, without having to download a new version of the product - everything can be accessed online.

Initially, the student has an opportunity to test their level of their target language, which helps them determine which level of the language they are best suited to start with. The program gives the learner a score after each exercise which allows them to self assess which exercise to do next. The information
included in the program includes all of the four parts - 'listening, writing, reading, speaking' including vocabulary and grammar using real-life cultural contexts, thus promoting not only the language but culture at the same time.

Capturator’s courses are entirely original in their content and layout (i.e. intellectual proprietorship and copyright) and have been designed to comply to European Common Framework of languages and are 'SCORM' 1.2 compatible '; each language has courses available from levels A2 - B2.
