eCuisine – A model for interactive e-learning to enhance vocational conversation and to arouse intercultural awareness in the hospitality sector

eCuisine was a project transferring knowledge and material established in existing language learning programs for schools and the wider field of vocational education and training into the field of gastronomy, hospitality and service. The national cuisine of Austria was in the centre of the project, together with additional dishes and drinks from the partners' cuisines. Dishes were not just to be collected and translated as easily available in existing online dictionaries but also explained and described to enable people in the industry as well as in practice oriented educational programs to start vocational conversation with guests from project partner countries without barriers of grammar and vocabulary. To secure adequate resources for continuation after the end of the project, the partnership with software engineering enterprises and enterprises which have developed ordering devices for the restaurant use was an important and integrated module of the project. The consortium of the project was made up of well-established institutions involved in the hotel-tourism sector with experience and expertise in all aspects of catering and cooking. An in-depth needs-analysis with target groups was carried out in each partner country to check the outcome of the research results and their applicability.
