http://www.elancenet.org "EUROPEAN RESOURCE AND LANGUAGE CENTRE NETWORK". In December 2004, a 3-year international Socrates Lingua project "European Recource and Language Centre Network" has finished. The project portal www.elancenet.org was created. It is exceptionally client orientated. We are inviting language service providers to upload the information about their services on the portal and we are waiting for anyone who is interested to become the users of our portal. Achieved results: An international network of resource and language centres for the collection, organization and dissemination of information about LWULT, EN, FR and DE language providers in participating countries and the transversal policies of the providers has been created. Two international sites with databases, one on LWULT and one on EN, FR and DE has been created. These two international sites have links to national sites in all the participating countries. A third site presents quality tools imported and adjusted from the teaching of EN, FR and DE as foreign languages to LWULT taught as foreign languages. The building of the LWULT quality site include acknowledged EAQUALS quality criteria identified as relevant by the participants. The main project monitoring, evaluation and dissemination tool is the project web site. The project also contribute to: -
