The DIGI-LINGO project aimed to support the European Union's goal of enabling multilingualism and ensuring that every person speaks at least two foreign languages. The project explored the capabilities of digital environments for language learning.

Within the DIGILINGO project, European Schoolnet delivered an organisational model to support digital language teaching and exchange. The organisational model revolves around a self-study online module that empowers educators to facilitate virtual exchanges for language learning, integrating theory, good practices, teaching guidelines and methods as well as practical tools, and intercultural teaching strategies. A matchmaking mechanism within the module connects teachers of English, Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese, fostering cross-border collaboration and enabling students to engage in meaningful intercultural communication (with new languages added upon request).

Digi-Lingo was a transnational cooperation project, involving partners from Denmark, Norway, Belgium and Spain. It aimed to and successfully managed to:

  1. 1. Identify good practices in virtual language learning and exchange.
  2. 2. Develop new Guidelines for digital foreign language learning, teaching and virtual pupil's exchange (pdf)
  3. 3. Develop easily accessible methods for virtual language exchange.
  4. 4. Establish a sustainable organisational model to support digital language teaching and exchange.
