PELLIC - Customized VLE
Practice Enterprise for Language Learning & Intercultural Communication
The Virtual Learning Environment can be viewed > here
The PELLIC project aims to provide a virtual learning space where students can practice business communication skills in English within a Practice Enterprise environment. This will be made available as an easily-accessible open source virtual learning environment for use in tertiary level education, advanced vocational training and continuing education.
The Practice Enterprise Pedagogy promoted by PELLIC gives learners the opportunity to develop their business language skills by setting up and running virtual companies, interacting and trading with other practice enterprise companies in different countries. Learners can access language lessons within the VLE whenever they need them to support a number of business activities.
