EU project “LSP-TEOC” offers free, multilingual LSP Teacher Education Online Course

The European project “LSP Teacher Education Online Course for Professional Development” (LSP-TEOC.Pro) run by a strategic partnership consortium consisting of ten member institutions. Nine of these institutions are directly involved as teachers of languages for specific purposes (LSP) and the tenth is the British research organization Arcola Research Llp. The objective of this project is to provide students and teachers of Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) with a multilingual online course which will allow them to acquire the competences needed for a successful implementation of teaching languages in a specific context. This course will be taught online (also known as distance learning, e-learning or web-based learning, among others), as online teaching has recently become one of the main characteristics of the 21st century educational system (Tsai & Machado, 2002).
