Introduction
The Enjoy Language project aims to encourage and motivate young males working in the tourism industry to learn a foreign language. A Handbook and Toolbox consisting of different methods, exercises and worksheets has been designed by the partnership specifically for language teachers working with this target group. Both resources form the Enjoy Language course to promote informal learning activities and active learning modules centred on entrepreneurialship and employment in the tourism sector.
The Enjoy Language handbook is addresses key actors for lifelong learning and language learning training policies. It informs stakeholders in education policy on how to encourage and motivate those who have previously been reluctant to take up foreign language learning.
The toolbox contains ideas for entertaining exercises and contents which help to promote language acquisition in male students, who are often not able to concentrate any longer than around 40 minutes. The tools can be adapted according to varying levels of language competence. On the basis of selected innovative didactic approaches described in the handbook, these tools take into consideration the experiences of different partners and their respective pilot testing analysis.
The Enjoy Language courses aim to raise awareness and interest in foreign language learning, reach a particular target group, lower drop-out rates and maintain motivation. The course emphasises that teachers, trainers and training providers must understand that each student is unique and that learning styles often differ. Teachers need to adjust their teaching to the needs of each student in order to meet goals and expectations. The Enjoy Language Handbook introduces didactical approaches and concepts that have been tested and/or researched within the Enjoy Language partnership and have succeeded in reaching the target group. They focus on raising motivation and respecting individual learning styles, propose content integrated learning and self-directed approaches. They challenge teachers and learners to reflect on their role and responsibility in the learning process and how to succeed. It is important to ensure that classes are small enough to provide the personal attention needed by each student the students, staff, and administration should also be encouraged to cooperate effectively, using their time and

materials wisely. The training location should be a place which is comfortable and inviting to all students, yet not too far from the main classroom. All partners agree that creating a positive learning atmosphere is particularly important to individual success and the avoidance of drop outs. The Enjoy Language approach also encourages training providers, teachers and trainers to offer flexibility. In view of our students prior, often negative, second language educational experiences, the courses aim to integrate a variety of flexible learning environments. The Toolbox offers a variety of examples on how to diversify learning places and environments so that students stay interested and motivated with language learning. Trainers and teachers should remain clear on why they are using different locations and understand the structural barriers associated with negative pre-experiences, including the fear of failure and discrimination. Due to the experiences shared within the Enjoy Language partnership, the design of courses should take into account: The level of units pilot testing showed that if the level was too high the students lost interest, though if the level is too low and they didnt feel challenged The topic of units Our students preferred interesting topics such as computer games, internet, books, etc. Teachers and trainers overestimated the students interest in sport The length of units Often our students were not able to stay focused for more than 40 minutes The selection of tools and exercises should consider possible deficits in social skills, such as low self-confidence and feelings of self-consciousness. At the beginning our students preferred to work in written form as they were afraid to speak in the foreign language.
Teachers, coaches and training providers should work together to develop respect, trust, and partnership between students and teachers. In such an environment students will be given the opportunity to express themselves and improve their self-confidence. They will eventually start to feel that they can keep up with the group and reach their language learning goals. Coaching competences, such as communication skills, are central to building positive relationships with the students. There is extensive further reading available on this topic but for the purpose of our toolbox we will briefly highlight some key points. Firstly, it is vital to actually listen to what the students are saying. Teaches and trainers should try to make sure they understand by confirming what they have understood with students.
TOOLBOX
Gender-fair teaching challenges educators to recognise and accommodate different learning styles. Teachers, trainers and training providers should understand the effects of gender, in particular its impact on the vocational education of their target group. Sensitivity to gender means taking gender into consideration in all activities. Males learn their gender role in sandpits, playgrounds, schoolrooms, camps, churches, and other social situations, and are taught by peers, parents, brothers, sisters, coaches, teachers, etc. They feel the pressure of the "boy code" in the classroom just as much as anywhere else. This can be very detrimental to their education as boys are often labelled as "troublemakers" and "hyperactive" and can show fear of expressing themselves in the classroom. A gender-sensitive course helps male language learners to reflect on their experiences and attitudes with regards to learning, and empowers their integrative and instrumental motivation. Another important task of gender-sensitive language teaching is to support those who have chosen a career path which may be untypical for their gender. In order to achieve their full potential as individuals, the students should be aware that many of the limitations and expectations associated with gender roles are social constructs which they may have to challenge or reject. The Enjoy Language Toolbox therefore contains some exercises which aim to promote the development of the students social skills, particularly for students who show low self-esteem. Many exercises allow students to experience working in small teams and prepare for presentations. According to the level of the foreign language skills, these exercises can either be planned in the foreign or native language.

1.1 Introduction of the exercises

The exercises in the toolbox are divided into four sectors: Cultural exercises
Activity exercises
Leisure exercises
Agro exercises
The first four exercises are an introduction to the toolbox and can be used in all of the four topics. All exercises are samples which can be adapted by teachers/trainers to best meet the needs of the learners.

SKILLS WITHIN A GROUP Cultural, Activity, Leisure, Agro Beginners/intermediate/advanced 40 min. On a worksheet the participants will list a set of social skills to be developed through education, work, family and other social situations. They will evaluate their social skills and decide how well they master each skill, giving evidence of a time when they demonstrated this skill. Finally, all students will be able to compare outcomes by placing points on a table. Further development: In a second step the students could be asked to individually reevaluate their social skills profile by seeking an external opinion. This offers them a chance to hear how others would assess their social skills. There are various people who could offer an external assessment: 1. Personal (a friend, colleague or partner) 2. Professional (a manager at work or a sports club) 3. Educational (teacher/lecturer)

Learning objective: To become aware of ones own abilities and social skills. Paper and pencils for all participants, worksheets
TOOLBOX
LIFE EXPERIENCES Cultural, Activity, Leisure, Agro Beginners/intermediate/advanced 40 min. In the first phase the students will work on their own worksheets, this will be a timeline on which they can mark important events in their personal life or education. In a second step they will decide to what extent these events have been positive or negative. After working on their own, the students will come together in small groups and exchange ideas, similarities and differences. This activity can be quite personal so it is important that it is carried out in the secure setting of a small working group or with the teacher. If any major problems are identified, student and/or teacher should seek further help.
Result
The aim of the exercise is to provide students with a more positive idea of learning and their own potential so that they can participate more actively.

INTRODUCING FILMS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING Cultural/Activity/Leisure/Agro Intermediate/advanced 2-3 hours Prepare for this exercise by asking the students about their interests and choosing scenes from famous films. Careful planning and preparation of the material is important and a wide variety of techniques should be used to involve the students and help them get the most out of it. Years of experienced teaching have proven that well developed, planned and graded video lessons should consist of different stages, which are: Tune in While watching After watching
As students 'tune in', they are gradually introduced to the plot, characters and setting of the film. During this phase tutors can carry out some activities to familiarise learners with useful vocabulary, using pictures word/expression banks and talking through the main themes and topic of the video. 'While watching' focuses more deeply on the plot and the characters. Students are given a range of activities such as problem solving, filling in the blanks, multiple matching, ordering events on a timeline, true or false and other comprehension questions. The main aim at this stage is to highlight everyday expressions, idioms and slang that the students will encounter in real life. 'After watching' is a chance to consolidate the learning by doing some creative activities. Using the film plot and new vocabulary, learners either

CULTURAL TOURISM SWOT DEBATE Cultural Intermediate/advanced 15 min to fill in the sheet, 30-40 min for presentations and discussion, another 15-20 min to add more vocab on worksheet 2
Short description of method/ tool
Students discuss how they would explain cultural tourism and introduce the main actors involved. The class is grouped into teams of 2 - 4 people; each team is given a copy of the SWOT templates 1 and 2. Assign each team a role and ask them to fill in the SWOT template 1 from the perspective of the group they represent (community, regional tourism office, state, cultural tourists). Ask them to discuss and fill in the template with the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats of cultural tourism and topics related to it. Each group then presents their conclusions to the rest of the class. After the presentation the class can ask questions which help students develop the topic: What are the benefits of developing regional cultural tourism for communities/state/tourists? What are the detriments to a region if cultural tourism is not developed correctly? Using worksheet 2, ask each team to list three positive and three negative effects cultural tourism might have on the group they represent, and discuss the similarities/differences from each groups point of view. Discuss other possibilities to be added.

CULTURAL TOURISM MUSICAL JOURNEY Cultural/Leisure Intermediate/advanced 30 40 min Students are provided with a set of song lyrics - some of the key words have been removed so students must listen to the song to fill in the gaps. If the song is popular then perhaps the learners can fill in the gaps first then play the song to check if they were right. The song can be played a second time if needed. Once everyone has filled in all the missing words the students have to rewrite the whole story in the past. "I started spreading the news; I was leaving that day..." Learners could further the exercise by writing all the verbs in alphabetical order and finding two synonyms for each. Another development could be to write funny questions before each lyric, then playing out an interview between the singer and a reporter. For example: R: "What are your plans for the summer?" FS: "Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today"

The company was first named Dassler shoes and later became Adidas. By the Dassler shoes being seen in the Olympics this really helped the company get its name known. However, in 1948 Rudolf Dassler leaves to start his own company which is now known as Puma. Once Rudolf left his brother came up with the famous three stripes logo and changed the name to Adidas. By putting together his nickname "Adi" and the first letters of his surname, the name "adidas" was born. The 3 stripes were created to keep the foot stable, but ended up being the logo. Throughout the years Adidas was seen in the Olympics and became the leading brand, this meant their shoes were highly sought after by Olympic athletes. Adidas has worked with many famous people and has a signature shoe line for Stan Smith, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady aka TMAC, Missy Elliot, and many others. Nike is a major publicly traded clothing, footwear, sportswear, and equipment supplier based in the United States. The company is headquartered near Beaverton, Oregon, in the Portland metropolitan area. It is the world's leading supplier of athletic shoes and apparel and a major manufacturer of sports equipment, with revenue in excess of US$18.6 billion in its fiscal year 2008 (ending May 31, 2008). As of 2008, it employed more than 30,000 people worldwide. The brand alone is valued at $10.7 Billion making it the most valuable brand among sports

businesses. Nike and Precision Castparts are the only Fortune 500 companies headquartered in the state of Oregon, according to The Oregonian. The company was founded on January 25, 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight and officially became Nike, Inc. on May 30, 1978. The company takes its name from Nike (Greek , pronounced [nk]), the Greek goddess of victory. The journey of the brand name PUMA is one of Historys greatest sports brand stories and is worth a read. Just over 61 years old, the brand has made a remarkable impact on the Sports market from those making and selling Puma branded goods to those wearing them, be it on or off the sports field. The leaping cat with Puma Form Stripe has always been an eye catching sight, especially among the youth and for all generations since its conception. Even the name itself speaks of a speedy form of action adequately represented by the brand image, THE LEAPING CAT .. Pewwwma..!!!
Lets Rewind the Hands of Time Christopher Dassler (Father) was a worker in Big Dogs shoe factory, while his wife Pauline ran a small laundry in the Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach, 20km from the city of Nuremberg. After leaving school, Rudolf Dassler their son, joined his father at the Big Dogs shoe factory. On his return after he had been called for national service in World War 1, he took up a management position at a porcelain factory and later in a leather wholesale business in Nuremberg. After WW2 in 1948, the Brothers Split when a dispute broke out. Rudi relocated to the other side of the Aurach River, while Adi founded his Adidas. The quarrel was so severe that the two never spoke again for the rest of their lives. The tension even extended into the community where loyal customers would not associate with the other brand. Rudi named his firm Ruda- from Rudolf Dassler; while Adi named his Adidas- Adidassler

RUDA would have been an interesting brand name, but the founder had decided on the idea of leaping Cat instead, and so PUMA was born. In 1951, Rudi registered the first version of the puma logo, which has since undergone considerable modification and modernization over the years. In 1958, Puma introduced the now familiar Form Strip, the logo we see on the side of all Puma shoes to this day. This addition however was not simply an artistic design feature; its intention was to provide the shoe with extra strength and sturdiness. Today we have the tailored and perfected version of the logo.
