Working with Older Volunteers in Manual Intergenerational Projects Language Training The target group of TRAMP were senior citizens who have little opportunity to travel outside this project. For this reason all groups included participants from all 3 countries with little or no language skills. Of course it would have been optimal to offer language courses beforehand, but there was neither enough money nor time available, so that the organisers of TRAMP confined themselves to an integrated language training. Ideally, this form of language learning is application-oriented, project and participant-related and highly motivating, because the acquired knowledge is immediately exploitable. As an introduction, a “survival vocabulary” was supplied during a group training session. Together the elderly participants and youths learnt greeting phrases and vocabulary that enabled them to formulate easy questions, requests etc. Vocabulary lists for tools, recipes, food etc. were composed during the project work. Unlike classical language courses this form of language training is unable to convey a subject in a complete or structured manner and rather serves a makeshift communication during meetings. It is therefore impossible to do without interpreters. However, an advantage of this learning method is that the memory rate of the vocabulary is higher, because the acquired skills can be applied immediately instead of time-delayed. Native speakers are simultaneously available and provide feedback. Since all participants find themselves in the same situation and continuously switch between the role of teacher and pupil, the shyness to speak and try out new words is quickly overcome and the informal atmosphere on the building site, workshop or kitchen provides many opportunities to interact verbally.

TRAMP – Transnational Mobility of Older People in Europe 150 Part II Method: Integrated Language Training Goals / Options: Promotion of communication by means of cooperation. This procedure facilitates any form of communication, thus also the practical work without the need of translation aids. Moreover, it facilitates the memorisation process of important vocabulary. Brief description: During the practical phase of the project work, participants are requested to name essential objects, activities or topics in their own language. The words and phrases are written onto cards in all the languages of the participants and pinned to the wall or the objects. The pronunciation is practised. Starting point: The integrated language training begins during the initial coopera tion phase in the subprojects. It can be conducted while determining the work stages, when exploring the workplace and during any ther new activity. Timeframe: 15 minutes, regular repetitions Group size: The group size depends on the requirements of the project that includes the language training. Group composition: Corresponds to the group composition during the project work Necessary materials: Paper and felt pen or alternatively, coloured cards and felt pens; adhesive tape
