Abstract

In 2008 a new COMENIUS project was set up which aims particularly at further training of teachers of foreign languages, in particular of teachers of German as a foreign language. The project, which is being funded with support from the European Commission, uses a blended learning format for the training activities. This means that the learning activities can be done in a flexible manner: individual and cooperative exercises can be completed by online learning, by face-to-face activities, or a combination of the two. Participating teachers do not even have to leave their home in order to take part in and to benefit from this training if they choose to select online activities only.
