It was very informal and laid-back, yet great fun. The location was in the middle of the countryside in a very simple and cosy restaurant. I believed it was well organised because: ● there was not too much over-organisation, yet the essential things were there. This created a relaxed atmosphere: not stressed! DropBox helped a lot as we were able to share the wedding list and coordinate the transport with it. ● after lunch, some live music was planned (which was played by the groom’s friends) - it was fun and not expensive! ● the total number of guests was about 50, so groom and bride managed to speak with everybody. And the best thing was that even though Aunt Maria could not be there, we Skyped the speeches and toasts to her and she was able to say hello from her hospital bed.”

Editor's Notes
- Ask who knows about MOOCs. Ask who’s participated?
- Target group has low confidence and low recognition of existing skills and future potential. Challenge: Can we help them recognise their skills and transfer them to a business context? May or may not lead to them starting their own business.
- This is the big idea… that there will be increasing demand for vocational ed in English. Let’s make it easier for people! Presence of the 4 Cs Define CLIL? Is it just for children?

- KLS Helping participants see their household skills in a new light eg by going through the steps of purchasing a computer using a 5 step business analysis of the purchasing decision
- This is clearing the way, creating safety. The intro activity could be termed an e-tivity. In language terms this is activating vocabulary which will be needed for a more substantial task later on.
- This is clearing the way, creating safety. The intro activity could be termed an e-tivity.
- Create safety, show expected length, only appropriate for personalised tasks (not knowledge checking tasks). The question was: ) Have you organised a great party or family event lately? What are the reasons why this event was such a success? Have you otganised your successful event by using internet, your SMART phone or a tablet? Open the forum called “My best event” (link) and post a short description of the event and the three reasons why this event was such a success.
- Simple English and glossary
- Multichannel responses
- You and your guest shall feel at ease and be spontaneous in order to spend relaxing and pleasant time. Nevertheless, sometimes different cultures or habits can lead to awkward situations… Tell us about an awkward or funny situation coming from “misunderstanding” between host and guest, which you have experienced or heard from other friends. Post it on the forum in written text, audio or video. Reading the other’s anecdotes, find the “lesson learned”: what “NOT to do!”. Post it under the anecdote. The mere fact of running the course over the whole of Europe leads to a much richer experience. We get participants working together so this also adds to cultural exchange.
- Important to note that this is not about academic standards of English but about successful communication
- My call to action. Would you be interested in the M-HOUSE course?
