EMA-4-Moodle: The European project of studying foreign languages with the help of moodle

In the modern European project EMA-4-Moodle the consortium of six universities from four countries take part: Russia, Slovakia, Germany and France. The aim of the project EMA-4-Moodle is to improve the academic mobility of students of engineering specialties from countries of the European Union, Western Europe and Russia, using special language courses for that, created with the help of bundled software Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment). Such system gives great opportunities in distance learning - many variations of providing teaching material, knowledge tests and control students' progress. The template or rough sketch of the course developed in the project is offered. This template facilitates creation of courses, based on various forms of didactic activity offered by the Moodle platform. The structure of the template is flexible. If the author of the course considers that the structure of the template does not correspond to requirements of students, he can change it. This template provides a strong motivation to a student. Studying a foreign language online, a student can use many means of communication not only to establish contacts with colleagues in online courses, but also with students who already study in university - partner.
