Learners’ and teachers’ views on what constitutes ‘quality’ in language learning in adult education – a European view

A survey carried out in a number of European countries has shown that learners and teachers within the adult learning sector have a universal view of what they consider to be a high quality teacher and a high quality learning experience.   It has also thrown up some surprises in terms of what learners and teachers consider unimportant in a high quality learning experience.

A report on the survey is one of the products of a European Grundtvig project entitled ‘QualiT’, which aims to explore the issue of what constitutes quality in language learning within the adult learning sector.  This report is one of the products of the QualiT project, based on a survey of learners and teachers carried out in six of the seven countries within the partnership, the UK, Spain, Czech Republic, Estonia, Sweden, Germany and Austria.
