A fully functional mobile game that has been tested and refined through formative evaluations. A hybrid teacher professional development training aiming to help teachers gain the necessary skills about how to effectively integrate Lingua Trek into their teaching practices. Groups and organizations at local, regional, national, and European levels will benefit from the project. These include language teachers and students in primary and secondary schools
across Europe who will have access to a new and innovative language learning tool, which will enhance their language learning experience. The project will also benefit other language learning and teaching institutions, educational authorities, policy-makers, and nongovernmental organizations who will be able to use the project outcomes and best practices in their work.
