| Description | The article presents the concept of the course « International communication and interaction: Play with languages! » created within the framework of the Erasmus+ project BIP (Blended Intensive Programme) organized by the Masaryk University and with the virtual participation of students from four universities (OTH Regensburg, Université libre de Bruxelles, CY Cergy Université Paris and Masaryk University). The objective of the course is to enable students to become familiar with plurilingual strategies and to develop their linguistic repertoire in a plurilingual and pluricultural community. The course that involves six languages (French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech) goes beyond the classic intercomprehension schemes oriented towards related languages. The activities focus on the complementarity of languages in learning and encourage the development of metalinguistic awareness. Thus, the notion of linguistic repertoire becomes the pivot of the course. The analysis of the educational and didactic devices is carried out starting from the long-term productions of the participants and their self-reflective writings. |
