The Citizenship Language Pack for Migrants in Europe (L-Pack) is a project that aims to promote language learning at a basic level. The project offers a language pack for the learning of the Greek language which includes 12 Units and each Unit presents material which is related to the everyday needs of people living in a foreign country (e.g. Finding a job, Health Issues etc.). More specifically, for each Unit there are video files accessible from the YouTube video platform, pdf documents with available information (on grammar and culture), exercises on the dialogues presented in the videos and also useful instructions on how to use the material for both educators and for students. The project also offers an online platform where students can register and gain access to a "personal space" area where they can record their voice, create a personal learning plan and visit a Forum in order to communicate with other learners and language teachers or get help for the learning materials.

In this regard, it aims to enhance the language learning abilities of people that are interested in learning Greek at a basic level, in order to be able to live effectively in the host society. |
| Target group | L-PACK 2 is addressed to language teachers, researchers of linguistic and educational fields, adult education providers, adult migrants in Italy, Lithuania, Germany, Spain, Greece, France and English speaking countries, organisations helping migrants’ integration in these countries or people interested in learning one of the target languages. |
| Evaluation results/ monitoring plan | The pilot trainings of LPACK2 were completed in 7 partner countries (Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Lithuania and France). Across all countries, many people took part. There were 143 people who participated in online courses (self-learning), 142 people in online courses with a guidance from a remote teacher and 417 who participated in an in-class training. According to Google Analytics, 2395 people became members in "Members Area" (until August 2015), from 88 countries and the project website had 75 595 visits. Throughout the programme there was an external evaluator who observed the progress of the project, evaluating deliverables and commenting on the working methods and cooperation partners. The external evaluator produced reports every 6 months. The project partners were assessing the internal progress of the project after each transnational meeting and once every 6 months. The LPACK project has been awarded from the European Language Label, due to the new approach proposed in learning foreign languages. The educational materials are freely available online on YouTube and in the following website: http://www.l-pack.eu |
