OBSERVATIONS

Socio-cultural Issues: Particularly important with groups of students drawn from different language backgrounds who need to adapt to the socio-linguistic demands of working life in the surrounding society

Educational Level Issues: Particularly suitable for vocational and professional education levels

Learner Issues: Used alongside activating interest in trans-national or cross-linguistic working life

Learner Issues: Particularly common in activating target language use through building self-confidence
