requires a greater emphasis on training.

The quality involvement of the partnership underlines the necessity of guaranteeing this participation by turning to external subjects to the partnership too, that is, specialist provision of language courses – languages schools, culture

institutes of foreign countries.

Preliminary assessment related to the actual knowledge of the participants about the language in point.

This preliminary assessment - made by test and interviews – is helpful to establish the structure of modules ad hoc.

Professional fields as well as these ones linked to the personal development must be considered.

Actions to be set up before the departure

Actions of linguistic competences development set up pre-departure are predominantly executed by beneficiaries of

IVT and PLM mobility, since it is about youths whose experience of mobility means a brief period of internship in

an enterprise abroad.

The linguistic preparation consists on developing a set of short duration linguistic modules relating to a

“professional field” language to be used on the workplace, to be added to the base educational preparation.

Actions to be set up after the departure

The finality of these actions is about providing communication in competences for the integration into the labour market

where the mobility experience is developed.

Actions after the departure consider the primary role of the hosting organisation’s enterprise’s tutor to refine the linguistic

competences linked to the particularities of the working context where the experience of transnational mobility is carried out.

Thanks in part to the long tradition developed teaching foreign languages too, the linguistic learning path (in terms of contents, objectives and duration) should accomplish the certificate of the

linguistic competences acquired.
