Use of ICT to support mechanisms for learning
communities• to connect learners with peers and language facilitators• to support learning (by linking to online and offline
resources and experts)• to provide continuity in accessing learning (bridging
between physical meetings)• to support the organisation of language learning groups • to offer guidance and information about The Language
Café project and events on an international and local level.

Formal learning;learning that occurs within an organized and structured context (formal
education, in-company training) and is intentional from the learner’s perspective. Normally it leads to a formal recognition (diploma, certificate).
Non-formal learning;learning embedded in planned activities that are not explicitly designated as
learning, but which contain an important learning element. Non-formal learning is intentional from the learner’s point of view.
Informal learning;learning resulting from daily life activities related to work, family, or leisure. It
is often referred to as experiential learning and can to a certain degree be understood as accidental learning. It is not structured in terms of learning objectives, learning time and/or learning support. Typically, it does not lead to certification. Informal learning may be intentional but in most cases, it is non-intentional (or
‘incidental’/random).

1. Reference services to educational objects - which facilitate access to things or processes used for formal learning. Some of these things can be reserved for this purpose, stored in libraries, rental agencies, laboratories and showrooms like museums and theatres; others can be in daily use in factories, airports or on farms, but made available to students as apprentices or on off-hours.2. Skill exchanges - which permit persons to list their skills, the conditions under which they are willing to serve as models for others who want to learn these skills, and the addresses at which they can be reached.3. Peer-matching - a communications network which permits persons to describe the learning activity in which they wish to engage, in the hope of finding a partner for the inquiry.4. Reference services to educators-at-large - who can be listed in a directory giving the addresses and self-descriptions of professionals, paraprofessionals and freelances, along with conditions of access to their services. Such educators... could be chosen by polling or consulting their former clients.
