Language learning is a priority theme of the European Union, intent on promoting mobility and mutual understanding between cultures. In this perspective, one of the objectives of the EU is that every European citizen has a command of two other languages in addition to his mother tongue. In the European linguistic mosaic, the Slavic languages and the Romance languages belong to the most widely represented linguistic groups. Thanks to the Erasmus program, thousands of Slavic-speaking students decide to carry out part of their studies in Romance-speaking countries, such as Italy or Portugal. The LMOOC4Slav project offers these students a freely accessible online learning path taking into account their specific needs for undergraduate study.

In fact, it provides for the creation of two MOOCs, one of Italian and one of Portuguese, which will allow the development of academic linguistic skills and abilities, and the creation of open educational resources, intended for teachers of Italian and Portuguese as LS and their students. The resources, downloadable from the project portal, will include video recordings with transcripts, written texts on academic topics relating to different disciplinary fields and "ready to use" learning units. The portal, active in three languages IT, PT and EN, in addition to serving as a repository for educational resources, will offer all information relating to the project, including the two international conferences to be held in Portugal and Italy and will be open to external contributions.
