HELP is an innovative Erasmus+ project which brings together an international consortium with the aim to create a healthcare English training programme.
The programme is in line with latest developments and requirements for learning in Higher Education and for the European workplace and taking up innovative potentials from media support for learning with mobile devices, connecting education and workplace.
HELP is a modular, media supported training programme, based on CEFR standards to satisfy demands of learner-centred formal and informal learning approaches for the English levels B1/B2. As an innovative approach it also satisfies the demand to develop intercultural competences for the growing multi-cultural workplace. HELP overcomes the patchwork of educational materials and approaches which has been used for English training in healthcare.
The programme provides an innovative standard learning setting for healthcare English learners and professionals at the B1/B2 levels of the CEFR that satisfies a demand on national and European levels.
