Tiivistelmä
The aim of this paper is to present how the offerings of online language courses for a new European university can be planned and created in cooperation between several universities and universities of applied sciences from different European countries.
The work is being done within the framework of Ulysseus European University Alliance. The aim is to provide the learners in the Ulysseus community and beyond two foreign languages in addition to one’s
mother tongue. Alongside the online language courses, there is an option to plan and offer other language-related activities to support student and staff mobility.
Ulysseus European University Alliance is created by six universities and universities of applied sciences: Université Côte-d’Azur (France), Università di Genova (Italy), Universidad de Sevilla (Spain), Technical University of Koŝice (Slovakia), Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences (Finland) and Management Center Innsbruck (Austria).
This paper presents the language program created by the partnering Ulysseus universities, the main focus being in experiences in creating online language courses on several levels [1], the benefits that the cooperation entails and the potential challenges that might appear. In addition, the paper discusses the expectations the partnering universities have for the common language offerings.
