▶Objectives
eMates aims to tackle the digital divide of adult migrants by capacity-building second-language acquisition educators (or L2 educators) in e-government through innovative methods and educational complementary materials in A1, A2, B1 second-language levels. We support L2 educators to widen their action scope, and by co-developing the strategies to solve specific problems/issues that migrants face in their integration process, using language and e-government learning as a leverage for autonomy
▶Activities

▶Impact
- A complementary curriculum for L2 teachers to digitally transpose each specific language session for adult migrants - Practical materials for L2 teachers to innovate their language lessons and integrate them with context-based scenarios in e-government and support a proactive role of adult students . - An online platform to build innovative use of digital education content for adult migrants, and support language teachers in taking up more advanced digital capacity-building
