CARAP teaching and learning materials

The aim of this database is to help teachers access teaching materials that support their learners in developing and expanding their plurilingual and intercultural competences (see Table of Competences). These materials, based on the four pluralistic approaches to languages and cultures, promote the knowledge, attitudes and skills needed to build these competences (see Lists of descriptors).
