For the past three years, groups of native speakers of the foreign languages taught in the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics at the University of Limerick have been recruited to facilitate discussion groups or one-to-one sessions with local students who are learning their language. The project helps both language learners and the peer-facilitators as it boosts engagement in learning and integrates international students into the UL community. The jury commented that it is "an excellent project that places communication at the heart of developing language and intercultural competencies".
