But there is a group of people who can not do this due to physical disability or for the reason of money or being from far detached areas, though would love to travel or learn something new about other cultures or even meet new people. Having in mind their situation they can be offered an alternative- virtual trips. With the help of internet they will be able to escape isolation by plunging themselves into the world of new discoveries, make new friends, feel the pulse of the world and even have their say on important global issues from home. But for any communication either online or during face to face meeting they need a communication tool- lingua franka. It‘s English, which is spoken all over the world. Some basic English language skills opens a posibility to introduce themselves, promote their countries and cultures and will derive great satisfaction from being understood by others, thus feeling a part of global society. Purpose: To provide people from vulnerable groups , in particular elderly people from rural or disadvantaged areas, who had no opportunity to gain some basic language skills or hasn‘t been practicing for a long time , with a tool - English language, which will encourage, stimulate them to be a part of a busy and changing world , thus breaking personal, cultural and social barriers.
