Language for Cross Border Emergencies
We are developing a language training course in the form of an interactive CDRom.
The course follows the progress of three emergency scenarios: a pandemic, a forest fire and a maritime emergency. There is a strong focus on developing the speaking and listening skills of emergency service personnel and in communicating with cross border colleagues in a foreign language.
