Language as a tool, language learning for adults
The first seminar was themed around language learning and acquisition. How is it during the first period of living in a new country with linguistic challenges and the puzzling or humorous situations caused because of cultural differences.
This seminar was based in Roskilde but took place online due to the Covid pandemic.
Of course, a downside to this was that students participating in the seminar
did not have a chance to visit another Nordic country. On the other hand, more students were able to participate in the online seminar than
had it been a meet-up seminar. Students from the four partner schools participated in online
presentations and discussions throughout the day.
