During 2025, the project team made substantial progress in shaping the content and structure of the forthcoming toolkit on integrated didactics in language education. Building on the conceptual groundwork established the previous year, the team advanced the development of all major components and finalised several foundational elements, including an infographic and the project glossary.

Regular online meetings ensured continuity in the drafting process, while two expert meetings in Graz provided focused spaces for exploring formats for each of the three outputs. Input from network participants, including a survey conducted in July, has supported the consolidation of thematic priorities.

The project was presented at several international events, most notably at the EDiLiC Symposium in Hamburg, which was the key dissemination activity of the year. Additional presentations in Europe and beyond strengthened the project’s visibility and provided valuable practitioner feedback.

With most toolkit topics now conceptually outlined, the project is well positioned for the next development phase. Drafting of the full texts will continue next year with the aim of providing comprehensive insights for our workshop scheduled for March 2026.
