Transnational Piloting of a CD-ROM for European Works Council Representatives: the CISL METE Project

Abstract

This case study reports on some of the issues arising from the transnational piloting of a multimedia English language learning resource. The CD-ROM was designed for European Works Council representatives who need to develop their English language skills to enable them to function more effectively as Works Council representatives within a multinational company with a working language of English. The case study describes the composition and needs of the target group, the pedagogic approach and materials design and then focuses on the pilot study which took place in three European countries. The findings are presented and some conclusions are drawn.
