The QuILL project provides a refined and efficient platform for Language Learning students and lecturers where to access trusted and qualified resources to enhance their practice. The three intellectual outputs described accurately identify the necessities and challenges affecting the Leaning Language community and propose a solid and skilled response.

Today I had the brilliant opportunity to participate in 'Quality in language learning' course, and it was amazing. I really loved the three stages you can find there: teaching sources, training package and the publication. I focused more on the sources and the training package. About the sources, I think it is marvellous the way they are structured, the information they exposed and the inspiration they give us as teachers. Futhermore, the training package is very useful to inform us about new technologies and the uses we can implement in our sessions. Besides, about the website's appearance, it is very easy to find the information you want because it is well organized.

The QUILL proyect (Quality in Language Learning) is a very useful tool for teachers to help them teach a foreign language. The website offers three different options: Database of Teaching Sources, On-line Training Package, and a publication of a book.
In the database of teaching sources, I could find multiple resources in so many different languages and adapted to every level, from A1 to C2. You are able to select also the topic of the resources you are looking for.
In the publication I found a book called 'Implementation of Digital Language Learning Opportunities in Higher Education', which I believe it is really helpful to understand the best way of introducing languages through the technology.
From my point of view, it is a really useful website for teachers who want to find the best resources flr their students.

The three project outputs all have great value for me. They are all available online and easily shared so that networking and the exchange of ideas are readily carried out. The teaching resources have an impressive breadth of titles and domain areas which can be applied to my teaching context - and I'm sure many others. There is ample room to adapt these resources too. As a lecturer in higher education, I am not presently directly involved in teacher training, but given my area of expertise is foreign language methodology, the training package allows me to reflect on my own teaching activities, and I could use these in conferences related to teacher education as well as in teacher-training courses in the future. The publication provides a solid overview of the principles and practices that underpin the QuILL as a whole and in many respects gives a flavour of each project partner's contexts and practices, and the challenges and possibilities therein. /Addressing the question of access and use of digital resources for language learning - specifically languages for specific purposes - and the crucial aspect of how to implement these in HEI. The teaching resources provide concrete guidelines and steps to do this, but are also flexible enough to be transferred to other contexts other than those in which they were validated. Further, making so many open educational resources available in one place (the website) provides a ready-made pool of resources to drawn on. This is why, in my opinion, it is crucial to maintain, add and adapt the website - and continue with its promotion and use.

As a future teacher I consider this project as an awesome tool to take into account when teaching.
For instance, when you click on 'Database of teaching resources' you have access to a list of links of activities that work on different and interesting areas, which is quite useful for us.
For sure, I will use some if these resources in future occasions.

The project is an important initaitive as it offers free accessible resources that can be used as such or adapted when working with the students. The strongest point, in my opinion, is the clarity of the information and the fact that the platform is easy to navigate on the one hand, and on the other the varieyt of the materials provided (from already created materials to tutorials, instructions and explanations on how the lecturers can create their own - as there are no courses or initiatives in professional development and continuing education in this area at present).

I have been looking at the different packages that the web has got. I think that all of them could be very useful for us, as future English teachers because it provides us with a lot of resources to use in class with our students. Also, there is a brilliant online teaching package in which you can develop your teaching skills, learning new aspects that maybe we had not before worked on.

This publication is a valuable theoretical and practical guide to professionals engaged in Higher Education programs. I have already started reading it and the digital technology guidelines have been very informative for the good practices in the language teaching projects I have supervised. / There are many interesting aspects and strengths, of which I will focus on two. The first is QuILL’s main goal, which is to offer such a diverse and wide repertoire of Open Educational Resources to assist professionals in the teaching and learning processes. The second is the QuILL portal. This site provides eighteen validated OER, which have been tested in real teaching contexts, a training package for lecturers and a high-level publication with good practices guidelines. All a language professional needs for his/her and his/her students' developments.
Ana Cláudia Gonçalves - Portugal
Its multilingual approach, its degree of transferability, the fact that it addresses language learning for different areas of expertise, and the fact that it provides a database of language learning activities both for learners and teachers.
Ana López Naranjo - Spain (ULPGC)
As far as I'm concerned, the proyect Quality in Language Learning is a very useful instrument for teachers to teach a foreing language. The website offers three different packages which are Database of Teaching Sources, Online Training Package and Publication where you can find a lot of resources to implement in your professional development as a teacher or how to use ICT in an effective way to teach languages. You can find also a book which is focus on different methodologies for language teaching in the Higher Education sector.

The online training package is the most useful because of its high-quality; new learning strategies are needed. As a result of the project QuILL database gives us a collection of new innovative teaching methods and materials.
