Lingua+ is the project within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme that strives for bringing more holistic approach to adult learning by merging important aspects of socio-cultural adoption with state- of-the- art methods in the host country language acquisition.
The Lingua+ Teacher Training Course Guide and MOOC present the core input of Lingua+ project and offer a tool to build growth mind-set for educators working with adult immigrants. The Guide and MOOC are complementary parts of the whole.
