IDEAL – Innovative Digital Language Learning

Room for innovative, interactive language learning programs for specialized languages

Language and understanding communication form the foundation for trust and safety in caregiving (nursing). However, caregivers who come to Austria from other countries often lack the necessary language skills. The IDEAL project addressed this issue and assisted individuals who work (or want to work) in the German-speaking caregiving(nursing) sector with situation-specific specialized vocabulary. In the process, German language skills were effectively improved through innovative, interactive online learning materials. This allows people from different backgrounds to quickly and reliably adapt to new working environments.
