| Description | The paper presents a didactic project aimed at the development of plurilingual skills and intercultural learning, designed for students of the Faculty of Economics and Administration of MU in second foreign language courses with B2 level. The project is the result of an effort to continuously integrate these elements into the curriculum in accordance with the Council of Europe's recommendation to member governments, which emphasises multilingual and intercultural education, linguistic and cultural diversity and the development of language learning and multilingual repertoires of individuals. Graduates thus formed will be equipped with the linguistic and cultural resources needed to function in the various spheres of a globalised world. The project involves students taking LSP courses in four languages - Business German, Russian, Spanish and French - and is divided into two parts. In the preparatory phase, students of each language are offered sensitisation activities on multilingual learning (e.g. working with internationalisms and metaphorical expressions across languages). In the implementation phase, by studying the language versions of the websites of selected multinational companies or franchises, pairs/trios of students from different languages analyse the similarities as well as the differences related to the cultural specificities of the target group. Subsequently, teams of students studying the same language design a poster and a slogan on the given business topic and in the last phase they create a commentary on the selected posters of their classmates. |
