Distance Learning and Educational Course Design in Language Education at University Level

Exploring different ways of learning has always been crucial in higher education, and during the pandemic, where we have all been challenged by the necessity of using online tools, it has become indispensable. In this article, we would like to present data that has been gathered during the operation of an international Erasmus+ KA203 Strategic Partnership for Higher Education TEACUP project, which goal is to promote high-quality, evidence-based, sustainable solutions for the integration of the plurilingual/pluricultural approach into international foreign language education.

The study aims to investigate in- and pre-service teachers’ experiences when working with the TEACUP Modules in online synchronous courses, and in a blended learning environment. It was also our goal to know whether the specific learning outcomes were achievable for the students. Based on this research, the benefits of different types of course delivery were identified, as well as hindrances that interfered with the successful implementation, which were then taken into account during the evaluation process of the Modules.
