Abstract

This article describes innovative CALL solutions that support multilingualism and “nano” languages in the West-Nordic Region. The non-language specific platforms are developed at the Vigdís Finnbogadóttir Institute at the University of Iceland and include open curated language courses for newcomers, www.icelandiconline.com, www.faroeseonline.fo and tools that enhance oral fluency and communicative skills in Danish as a second and third language in the West-Nordic region. The tools include: www.talboblen.hi.is, that focuses on oral language skills, www.talerum.is , an interactive game based program that promotes interaction, and www.frasar.net, a resource that teaches the pragmatics of phrases.
