Clilstore

CLILSTORE


    Clilstore is a store of copyleft content and language integrated teaching materials.
    It is being developed by Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig as part of the European funded TOOLS project (2012-2014), led by Kent Andersen in Denmark and with other partners from Denmark, Ireland, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain andEuroCALL.
    Clilstore uses Wordlink, a WWW based facility which links arbitrary webpages automatically, word by word with online dictionaries. And Wordlink in turn uses Multidict, a multiple dictionary lookup facility which makes use of freely available online dictionaries. Both Wordlink and Multidict were developed as part of the European funded POOLS-T project (2008-2010) and their development is continuing as part of the present TOOLS project.

The Latest CLIL tool: "multidict.net"


Multidict            
 Multidict

     Multidict is a multiple dictionary lookup facility. It was developed by Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig to work in conjuction with Wordlink and with Kent Andersen’s TextBlender, as part of the European funded POOLS-T project (2008-2010), and development is being continued as part of the European funded TOOLSproject (2012-2014).
     Multidict allows the user to select easily from a choice of online dictionaries. Built into it is a large database of dictionaries with information on the languages they cater for and the parameters they require. Multidict attempts to remember the user’s previous dictionary choices so as to speed up subsequent selection.          Multidict also includes a facility to link to dictionaries in page-image format at the Web Archive, Google Books, etc, via an index of the initial word on each page.
