Descripción del proyecto
Resumen:
A step forward. Tips for everyday communication is a multilingual course consisting of six different versions (English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish) adapted to the social and communicative needs of each of these languages. The main purpose of this open online initiative is to ease the pragmatic, sociolinguistic, and intercultural integration of immigrants and refugees in their host societies.
This course is designed for learners at an intermediate proficiency level, as it addresses essential contents for effective communication for everyday and work-related situations, as well as cultural patterns ruling communicative exchanges which might lead to interpersonal misunderstandings. It consists of four units, sequentially structured through illustrated and
animated videos recreating daily communicative situations, didactic explanations of the displayed content, and a set of activities with immediate feedback to practice and reinforce what students have learned. The course is, in short, a dynamic tool for autonomous learning of different communicative acts, oral interaction schemes, and social conventions essential for sociopragmatic integration in the host cultures.

Objetivos:
This online course has been desgined as an opportunity to learn and practice communicative formulas and sociocultural information useful for everyday interactions in those languages. A step forward is not an ordinary grammar or vocabulary course, nor is it a mere presentation of theoretical material that is simply explanatory. Precisely, the originality of this course lies in the fact that it includes language samples, explanations and self-correcting activities. This online course will be useful for immigrants, refugees, or any second/foreign language speaker with an intermediate level in the mentioned languages and who wants to learn more about appropriate ways to communicate and interact in the target language and culture.
