People who do not stop learning enjoy better health, later experience the symptoms of cognitive impairment and find it easier for them lives.The AIM of the project is to develop guidelines for English language teachers to respond better to the learning needs of senior students. To find way to help senior learners with learning proces to improve their language skills and to reach better results in English language learning. The project envisages to produce intellectual outputs and other results as listed below:IO1 Framework and research. Since the course/guidelines and ready to use cards for seniors language learning does not exist as such online or in practice, research must be done to identify the needs of teachers and seniors in order to create materials that address the target group exactly right in order to make the described impact. IO2 Partners will develop training materials for language teachers working with seniors. The development of those materials will start with training day during partners meeting - workshop based on the desigh thinking idea and human centered design that will help in ideas development and multiplicationIO3 During the partners meeting there will be 2 workshops based on design thinking to develop cards for teachers/seniors to use during the lesson/course. There will be about 60-70 cards with short instructions. IO4 E-learning platform. The hub will contain all materials from the Intellectual outputs and training as well as extra learning materials provided by partners. It will also include a small evaluation form to improve the hub during the project lifetime. The platform will be for language teachers and trainers working with senior learners.IO5 Pilot/workshops. Workshop is designed to help teachers become more creative and innovative, it will turn teachers' creative potential into a reality. The aim is to build creative confidence and competence.The project MEANING will cause a possitive impact on SENIORs:- improved, better experience in English language learning – evaluated by questionnaires- improved knowledge of English - evaluated by self assessment on the e-learning platform- language learning as a less stressful experience – evaluated by questionnaires- gained motivation to learn and stay active, - some materials translated into mother tongue of some content of the coursebook- more technics to memorize the material made during a language lesson- more topics to discussion based lessons to encourage them to speak- gained ability to use e-learning and benefit from it in the English learningMEANING will also possitivelly impact language teachers: - motivated to work with seniors – evaluation by questionnaires- flexibility of the learning proces – instructions included in guidelines - new technics/ways of corrections – included in the guidelines- will have an additional tool to work - will have been exposed to new methodologies in adult learning- will have an increased motivation for work- will exchange experience, knowledge and ideas- will be strengthened in their cooperation between institutions

The 'Logistics Language Open Training' - LLOT project was carried out in 2015-2018 by a consortium whose leader was the Higher School of Logistics based in Poznań.The aim of the LLOT project was to provide tools for the improvement of language competences among people working in the logistics sector or studying to work in logstics sector.The LLOT consortium was consist of four partners:- speakeasy Berlin GmbH - Language school from Berlin (Germany) specializing in teaching foreign languages including German with special emphasis on specialist language (eg for industry). In the project responsible for the development of the German language course and the location of the contents of the logistics courses;- Globalnet sp. O.o. - language school from Poznan (Poland) specializing in teaching foreign languages and creating interactive language courses. Responsible in the project for devloping the Polish and English language courses and coordinating the development of e-learning language courses;- CIS SCUOLA PER LA GESTIONE D'IMPRESA SOCIETA CONSORTILE A RESPONSABILITA LIMITATA - a training organization (offering training for industry and logistics) from Reggio Emilia (Italy). CIS has a language school in organizational structure. In the LLOT project responsible for the development of the Italian language course, creating an e-learning platform and location of the content of logistics courses;- Jamieson-Ball Ltd - language school from London (Great Britain) responsible in the LLOT project for methodological supervision over the development of the English language course.The consortium leader was Poznan School of Logistics, responsible not only for the coordination of project activities but also for the development of logistics courses (content and implementation).The project mainly focused on:- developing of intellectual outputs,- dissemination of the project outcomes,- project management.The SCRUM methodology was used to develop the results of intellectual outputs. The SCRUM methodology allows incremental development of solutions. In the case of LLOT, it consisted in creating a part of the course content, developing graphic parts of this course, creating e-learning lessons and testing.In the field of dissemination, the partners reported to the coordinator: the concept of organizing dissemination evnts, channels used to disseminate project outcomes and the effects of dissemination meetings.Project management tools such as milestones, Gant's charts, cost-rising curves, and quality reports were used in project management. The project management has three management areas: project quality management, time management and financial management.The LLOT project was innovative due to the set of didactic methods used and the definition and two-stage implementation of the CLIL method for the purpose of training language competences in logistics. CLIL in the LLOT project is teaching English on the basis of logistic texts. It was assumed that language courses (for PL, EN, DE, IT languages) would prepare for B2 language level.The LLOT project has 6 results:- O1 - content of the e-learning language course (PL, EN, DE, IT)- O2 - e-learning language course (PL, EN, DE, IT)- O3 - e-learning logistics course: Transport management (PL, EN, DE, IT)- O4 - e-learning logistics course: Supply chain management (PL, EN, DE, IT)- O5 - e-learning logistics course: Warehouse management (PL, EN, DE, IT)- O6 - e-learning platform (PL, EN, DE, IT)The language course consists of four language courses: English, German, Polish and Italian. Language courses have been developed based on logistic vocabulary. Logistics courses (in each language version) consist of 30 lessons (each lesson corresponds to 2 hours in contact classes). Each course is divided into four modules. Each module ended with a testing test.The e-learning platform has three roles:- informing about the LLOT project,- a platform that allows you to manage language courses,- a platform that allows you to manage the content of logistics courses.All results of the LLOT project are one integral educational tool specialized in language skills development for the logistics industry.The project and its outputs have helped to improve language skills among employees of the logistics sector and people educating in this area. Knowledge of foreign languages is particularly important in the logistics industry, which is caused by the globalization of the economy and the need to move goods.From the beginning of the project, the llot.eu platform has recorded a total of over 2,284,000 views with over 187,000 session (data from Google Analitics).As at 31/08/2018, the number of registered users on the platform llot.eu amounted to 1624 users and was still growing.In total, on the platform llot.eu 938 users passed the final tests of logistics and business courses in a language other than the language given as their native language.
