Language education is key: the provision of lifelong, quality language education supports
not only educational and professional success, but personal development and a sense
of self-worth, all of which help foster economic growth, democratic citizenship and social
cohesion.
The ECML's Strategic Objectives are to help its member states implement effective language teaching policies by:
- focusing on the practice of the learning and teaching of languages
- promoting dialogue and exchange among those active in the field
- training multipliers
- supporting programme-related networks and research projects
In order to implement its strategic objectives, the European Centre for Modern Languages, organises a programme of international projects on language education.
Basing its work on the underlying values of the Council of Europe and its pioneering work in language education, the ECML is ideally equipped to act as a catalyst for reform in the teaching and learning of languages.
