CHAGAL-Set Up

European Curriculum guidelines for Access programmes into higher education for under-represented Adult Learners

Coordination: Grete Kernegger

ABSTRACT

The idea for the CHAGAL project was born out of the realisation that education systems have to be responsive to the diverse backgrounds and specific needs of international students and to adopt effective strategies to offer students every chance of success in their undertakings. An innovative and inclusive curriculum sensitive to the students’ diversity not only promotes positive student reaction and success, but also reflects the host country’s acceptance of the potential these students have to offer.

On the CHAGAL in ACTION! CD-Rom 12Curriculum Guidelines drawn up by the 16partner institutions originally participating in the CHAGAL-Grundtvig project describe how student-centred course curricula can be developed and implemented and illustrate how CHAGAL principles can be put into practice. Examples of good practice from 9European countries comprise the areas of

  • social and cultural learning

  • content-based learning

  • language and study skills

  • student support

and are – together with the CHAGAL Recipe Book for Teachers – targeted specifically at practitioners.
