Abstract
Mobility programs for learning purposes, such as physical class
exchanges or forms of virtual mobility, have long been recognised as
powerful instruments for plurilingual and intercultural education. At the
same time, it is clear that spending time in a different environment need
not necessarily result in higher intercultural or linguistic skills. Such
experiences will result in more sustainable learning outcomes when they
are carefully prepared, accompanied, and followed up on, for instance by
the use of different portfolio instruments and other appropriate materials
enhancing plurilingual and intercultural learning. This principle is at the
heart of PluriMobil, a project at the Council of Europe’s European Centre
for Modern Languages (ECML). In this chapter, we present the theoretical
underpinnings of this educational project, and report on its implementation
in teacher training in a German-speaking Swiss context. There, the future
teachers draw from their own experiences to design pedagogical scenarios,
in their future work as teachers at primary, lower or upper secondary
levels. The aim is to foster coherence across educational levels by the use
of comparable didactic instruments, and to prepare teachers for worthwhile
mobility experiences with their classes. Finally, we discuss to what extent this focus on didactic innovation also contributes to integrating mobility into teacher training curricula in a more coherent way.
