☑️ About the webinar
Historically, schools around the world have sought to create homogeneity by bringing diverse groups closer to a national language standard. One of the consequences of this is that students who speak minority languages have been discouraged from using their mother tongue, or even from learning new languages.

At the same time, the limited selection of foreign languages offered by schools, usually taught in isolation from other disciplines, has prevented most students from developing effective plurilingualism.

The first three webinars from this series zoomed into specific approaches and policies that challenged this belief in various parts of Europe.

In this final webinar we will take stock of the lessons learnt from the various approaches and strategies for language teaching and reflect how these can inspire educators and policy makers to innovate and implement forward-looking policies and practices in language education fostering plurilingualism.

☑️ About the webinar series
NESET has recently published an extensive analytical report entitled "The future of language education in Europe: case studies of innovative practices", building on its previous work in this area - "Multilingual Education in the Light of Diversity: Lessons Learned".

Both reports are available on the NESET website, free of charge:

✅ Multilingual Education in the Light of Diversity: Lessons Learned: [ Ссылка ]

NESET is an international advisory network of experts working on the social dimension of education and training. It was set up at the initiative of the European Commission, and has been coordinated by PPMI since 2015. This report aims to support the implementation of the Council Recommendation on a comprehensive approach to the teaching and learning of languages, adopted by the Council of the European Union in 2019. It emphasises the importance of innovative language education in an increasingly interconnected and intercultural world.

The report incorporates six case studies on inspiring language teaching approaches, policies and tools implemented in various contexts across Europe and beyond.

Join our webinars on Language education and multingualism in which we will present and discuss in more details the most relevant findings of this report.
