Comment former une communauté d'apprentissage par et pour la communication multilingue. Analyse SWOT du dispositif COIL "UCIL-IC"

This research provides an initial assessment of UCIL-IC (Unita collaborative international learning in intercomprehension), a project that has laid the foundations for plurilingual communication within the UNITA virtual international learning community. As part of the UNITA European University project, students can learn the practice of multilingual interaction through hybrid courses combining face-to-face lessons and telecollaboration. From the start of the 2021 academic year, the partner universities organise intercomprehension training locally. To introduce more linguistic variety and to enable learning by doing through interaction with peers, a COIL-type project has been set up.
In anticipation of the continuation of the UNITA project (2023-2027), after having carried out this didactic experiment for two years in a row, we are drawing up an initial assessment of the training by closely observing the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for the UNITA community, as well as the threats that are likely to hinder its continuation. The questions we will ask ourselves will be finalised with an understanding of what we will need to keep in the future or change to ensure the continuity of the UCIL-IC project. We will be looking for answers, among other things, in the forum on the UNITA Moodle platform, in the video recordings of the working group meetings, in the learners' logbooks, in the questionnaires administered at the beginning and end of the courses, and in the exchanges between the teachers.
