CommuniKite

The Communikite project and the Kite tool have recently been covered by two major Spanish national newspapers, marking a significant step in the project’s public visibility.

Diario de León published an interview with Prof. Carmen Fernández Juncal, full professor at the University of Salamanca (USAL), in which she discussed the academic foundations and objectives of the Communikite project. Meanwhile, La Razón published a detailed account of the characteristics and benefits of the project and the Kite tool.

We thank both outlets for their interest and for contributing to the broader dissemination of this research initiative.

On April 23, the Warsaw team presented Kite and a selection of activities from our Guide for Academics Teaching Foreign Languages at the Forum Dydaktyki Języków Obcych — a key event for university language teachers in Poland.
