Euromobil (language project)
Euromobil is a project for language learning and language acquisition for exchange students that has been funded since 1999 as part of the Socrates program of the European Commission in the Lingua 2 action area ("Teaching aids for language teaching"). In the course of the project, a “ best practice ” learning software for autonomous and blended learning was developed, which comprises hybrid multimedia language training and information programs for nine European target languages.
