In order to counter a high percentage of adult learners who abandon language courses prematurely due to a lack of motivation and engagement, the L2 Lifestyle project sought to equip foreign language teachers with the tools needed to address this problem whilst promoting the EU's core values of multilingualism and lifelong learning. As such, the project was implemented through a partnership of six organisations based in five different EU countries. The project was led by YORK ASSOCIATES and through a transversal approach that involved learners, teachers and school management, aimed to:1. Extend and develop the competences of language teaching professionals so that they can integrate soft skills content and apply a range of motivational co-coaching techniques as part of a new approach to foreign language teaching practice;2. Foster an improvement of results in language courses and provide language students with not just new language skills but also more effective soft skills when using foreign languages, including, for example, Emotional Intelligence, so that they can benefit from their newly-developed interpersonal skills when seeking employment in an increasingly competitive job market; and3. Encourage a sustainable institutional learning approach through working closely with the academic managers of training institutions, which ensured that language teachers as well as their students in Europe will benefit from this project for many years to comeThese aims were achieved through six organisations - York Associates (UK), I&F Education (Ireland), Stowarzyszenie ARID (Poland), CPIP (Romania), and Babel Idioma y Cultura and Diamond Building (Spain) - developing a set of Intellectual Outputs, which were:- IO1: ‘MOTIVATE THE L2 MOTIVATOR’ - this involved developing a training system for language teachers in order to enhance the effectiveness of their language classes by providing them with specific knowledge, adapted to language teaching, in the fields of coaching and interpersonal soft skills, including Emotional Intelligence and Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)- IO2: 'L2 MOTIVATION TOOLKIT’ - this involved developing a toolbox containing several activities for the language classroom that enabled language teachers to include soft skills and techniques of coaching, Emotional Intelligence and NLP in the process of language learning- IO3: 'TRAIN L2 MOTIVATORS' - this involved developing a training system that enabled academic managers of language institutions to assist their language teachers with the effective use of the Toolkit activities in the classroom. It also enabled these managers to train new teaching staff in the L2 LifeStyle project's other intellectual outputs.The L2 Lifestyle project has had a direct impact on language teachers, language training institutions, and also adult language learners. For foreign language teachers and language training institutions, the project has empowered them with innovative tools and methodologies to support them in guiding and motivating adult learners and promoting core EU values of multilingualism and lifelong language learning. And for adult language learners, the L2 Lifestyle project has led to not just their increased motivation with regards to language learning, but also increased competencies in their interpersonal soft skill development. By creating these training tools as well as the practical toolkit for language teachers, teacher trainers and academic managers, the consortium has achieved the overall objectives of the project as well as establishing long term benefits in the form of tools for effective and lifelong language learning for a multilingual society in Europe.
