A comic book and a language learning book inspired by the life stories of our female learners

Strengthen the language skills of your learners through an original comic zine and a language learning book directly inspired and co-created by and with our learners.
✨ Designed a language training manual for trainers working with an audience of adults with a migration background and low knowledge of foreign languages (French/German)
✨ Tested the developed activities with the public of each partner structure, on a local scale
✨ Trained Austrian and French trainers to the activities developed and to the role of artistic and creative practice in adult education (in June 2024 in Bordeaux).
Project Details
Nowadays, few educational resources for adults in socio-professional integration specifically address the situations they are confronted to.
Adult Learners Are More Committed When the Learning Materials Speak Directly to Them. Therefore, the Erasmus+ 10fold II project aimed to create teaching content that they can identify with, to reinforce their learning. Its primary objective is to promote social inclusion and diversity.
In 2024, the partners created educational materials based on the 10 FOLD comic book (classroom and online activities) in which the target group remains the main character.
- This language learning book builds on the stories from the comic zine and aims to offer further learning opportunities. Our goal was to design learning materials that support second language learners with migration histories while considering their daily challenges. By creating materials closely connected to learners' realities, we aimed to make the language learning process more relatable and practical for adults.
We believe that this book contributes to a more participative approach to learning, where learners are encouraged to draw from their own experiences.
Learning a second language takes tremendous courage, and we want to inspire learners to use their strengths and personal strategies in the process. This book is designed to be a helpful guide for trainers as well, offering creative and stimulating exercises that incorporate real-life scenarios. The
60 exercises cover the four essential language skills — reading, writing, speaking, and listening — ranging from level A1 to B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Some exercises are intended for classroom use, while others include digital components. Trainers can choose which exercises suit their needs and print or share them as necessary.
We also created a training course for trainers on how to use comics and auto-biographical stories in language teaching.
