Pools-t (Producing
Open Online
Learning
System - Tools)
was approved for an EU grant in the period
2008-2010. POOLS-T was coordinated by "Syddansk
Erhvervsskole Odense-Vejle",
the development
teams came from Denmark,
Greece, the Netherlands, Scotland,
and Switzerland.
The project
developed tools for the CLIL
methodology
(Content and Language
Integrated Learning)
as well as a
guide on how to apply
the tools in a CLIL
context.
The tools convert
texts and web pages to
html pages where all
words are hyperlinked to
free online dictionaries
covering many
combinations of European
languages. The
application has
support for audio, video
and graphics to enrich /
support the text
content.
Pools-t needs analysis:
CLIL and LWUTL teachers
depend on developing own
resources (EURYDICE 2005
report "Key Data on
Teaching Languages at
School in Europe"). The
proposed application
will automate part of
this process and will
also enable students to
convert authentic
technical materials into
language learning /
supporting units.
The need for a free tool
is based on EURYDICE
2006 "Content and
Language Integrated
Learning (CLIL) at
School in Europe".
The need is also
documented in the ICC
report (2003) "The
Impact of New
Information Technologies
and Internet on the
Teaching of Foreign
Languages.." concludes:
"There will be a shift
from passive consumption
of ready-made programmes
to independent building
of content, tailor made
for specifics groups or
individuals".
Target groups:
The project results and
outputs are used by
individual language
learners, subject
teachers using CLIL, and
language teachers
preparing online
teaching materials.

Many language teachers
and learners appreciate
teaching materials that
incorporate both written
and spoken language.
However, it has always
seemed to be a more
complex task to create
sound files than text
files. In recent times a
number of attempts have
been made to harness
digital telephone
technology to the
purpose. One example is
provided by
www.ipadio.com
Gordon Wells has
prepared a guide on how
to use ipadio for voice
and text blogging /
phlogging. Download the
guide
in .doc format
or in
.pdf format
Gordon
has started
incorporating both audio
(Ipadio) and video
(YouTube) in the Island
Voices project blog
http://guthan.wordpress.com .
This is a Wordpress
platform, and has been
created to record
project progress,
disseminate news, and
encourage interaction
with learners and
teachers. (Creating a
Wordpress account is a
similarly painless
process as with Ipadio.)
In two recent posts
Gordon has highlighted
and previewed one of the
topics for the new
series of Island Voices
videos.
In the first he
interviewed a
participant in Gaelic
and English, using his
telephone. This blog
post about the
interviews includes
embedded links to both
phonecasts:
http://guthan.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/local-language-teacher/
The following month he
created another blog
post, this time
embedding the video.
http://guthan.wordpress.com/2010/03/24/buain-na-monadh-peatcutting/
Any or all of these
webpages can, of course,
also be linked to
Wordlink and Multidict
to allow instant online
dictionary access.
Possible language
learning uses are
immediately evident.

Multidict is a one

Wordlink
a website from where
you can convert web
pages to pages that
appear like the
original, but with
all words linked to
an online dictionary.
From WordLink you
can also compose
your own WebPages
with all words
linked to
dictionaries, or you
can upload a local
webpage and produce
a new page linked
word by word to
dictionaries.
Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle, SMO
developed the
browser based tool "Wordlink"
with functionality like
"Babelfish" (see the
website
babelfish.altavista.com
or Google.com/language_tools?hl=en),
i.e. a web based
application which can
convert web pages to
pages where all words
(like the outputs from
the desktop application)
are linked to online
dictionaries. The
resulting webpage will
word by word be linked
to online dictionaries
(i.e. not just
translated)
The program source for
Wordlink is CopyLeft and
may be improved,
modified, reprogrammed,
distributed, and used in
any way you find
suitable as long as new
versions and derivates
from the original are
also CopyLeft

The "TextBlender"

automatically convert
texts to web pages where
all words have been

Gordon Wells has
developed a suite of
flexible
self-teach/self-test
English exercises
suitable for CLIL, based
on Island Voices video
material.
The materials are
designed to help
English learners
teach and test
themselves. They
are based on
real situations,
and reflect
aspects of life
and work in the
Hebrides.
Learners should
already be at
pre-intermediate
level at least,
and extension
exercises are
included which
will also be
appropriate for
more advanced
learners, who
may or may not
be working in
groups.
There are four
units of work.
They are roughly
in ascending
order of
difficulty,
though each unit
can stand on its
own.

The work on improving
the access to
dictionaries (Multidict)
has been continued since
pools-t finished in
September 2010. Right

dictionaries that are

step forward so users
can create online

be working with
Wordlink4 including
those with iso-8859-7
and windows-1253
encoding.

We are looking into the
possibility of
extending the POOLS-T
partnership with one or
two Swiss partners from
The University of
Applied Sciences of
Southern Switzerland (SUPSI
–
www.supsi.ch ) and
USI (Universita’ della
Svizzera Italiana,
www.unisi.ch
). USI’s expertise about
usability evaluation and
about testing and
analyzing the impact of
ICT onto given contexts
is expected to strongly
enhance/improve the
project outcomes. SUPSI
will be a major benefit
for the project and its
European dimension; the
inclusion of one more
language as well as the
extensive testing and
piloting of the project
outputs will further
enhance the project
outcomes..
The pools collection
of languages is now
increasing;. Jean-Marie

dictionaries.
Go to the tools area
to test his work
The desk top software
