We are happy to announce the beginning of our project Erasmus KA220 “Lingua Trek: transforming foreign language education in Europe through digital game-based approach”. Lingua Trek aims to improve the quality of English language education in Europe by promoting the use of English language in authentic contexts. The hybrid teacher professional development training will equip language teachers with an innovative method of teaching using digital games, while the implementation of the digital game will provide opportunities for students to actively use the language in real-life situations, while fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.

The project results are the development of a detailed game scenario document and accompanying learning materials outlining the game objectives that align with the principles of digital game-based language learning, a fully functional mobile game that has been tested and refined through formative evaluations as well as a hybrid teacher professional development training, aiming to help teachers gain the necessary skills about how to effectively integrate Lingua Trek into their teaching practices.
