That was … the 2018 European Day of Languages
|
|
|
With around 1,300 EDL events registered in the online calendar this year, there was no shortage of creative ideas for celebrating the Day - with seminars on multilingualism, polyglot gatherings, language cafés, a European week of Languages, neighbouring languages festivals, a journey through languages and cultures and, of course, speak dating – to make some new friends!
With 2018 marking the European Year of Cultural Heritage, there were close links between the two initiatives and many of the events organised for the Day focused both on raising awareness of the wide variety of languages in Europe and on promoting cultural heritage and linguistic diversity - thereby encouraging people of all ages to learn languages.
View details
|
This year’s EDL initiative ‘How multilingual is your classroom/organisation?’ to discover Europe’s most multilingual classrooms and workplaces encouraged schools, offices, associations and organisations to showcase their language skills. Many photos, song records, videos, posters, poems in different languages were all sent in as evidence of language rich classrooms. A selection of just some of the entries has been compiled in a short video highlighting multilingual Europe in practice. All entrants to the initiative will shortly receive a certificate of participation.
The activity voted the most innovative EDL event this year was entitled “Doorway to the world”. The e-Twinning event coordinated by the Polish school “Szkoła Podstawowa nr 1 w Żarach” sought to bring schools together from all over Europe to celebrate the Day in an international way. The title proved very apt as the Day was celebrated in more countries than ever (51) all over the world, not only in Europe but also for the first time in countries such as India, Jordan, Uruguay and Cuba!
A competition to design a t-shirt for the 2019 European Day of Languages is still underway and will close on 31 December 2018.
In his statement on the occasion of the Day, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Thorbjørn Jagland, highlighted the importance of openness, “Understanding each other is the key to benefitting from Europe’s rich cultural diversity. Language education helps us to do this and to embrace other cultures and ways of life.” The Day received widespread press coverage in many countries, with articles about EDL featuring heavily in the media, such as El País, The Irish Times, ANSA.it, NTV and Euronews among many others.
The events taking place in celebration of the 2018 Day were organised mainly by schools, universities, language and cultural institutes, associations and also by the European Commission’s translation field offices which co-organised around 70 activities.
On a local level, the language festival in Graz coordinated by the Graz Language Network and taking place in the City museum, welcomed around 2,000 participants to a day of fun and, of course, educational activities, involving language challenges, singing, dancing, language taster courses, poetry slams and a wide variatey of games and competitions.
We would like to thank everyone who organised and/or participated in activities related to this year’s European Day of Languages. We have already received lots of ideas and suggestions for 2019 and are already looking forward to it!

ECML workshop “Language for Work – Tools for professional development” (Graz, Austria, 23-24 October 2018): fine-tuning the products of the project
|
|
|
The project’s final workshop brought together 46 experts from 31 countries, all of whom work in the field of the linguistic integration of adult migrants and their work-related L2 development. The event enabled participants to review the products developed throughout the project, to discuss how to make them as useful as possible and how to organise the resource bank of tools for professional development, to exchange practical applications and strategies for managers and staff in job centres and public administration to improve communication with the public.
The project aims to create the following products which will be made available online via the Language for Work Network’s website:
- quick guide “How to help adult migrants develop work-related language skills”, currently available in 11 languages (Bulgarian, Croatian, Dutch, English, French, German, Irish, Italian, Romanian, Spanish, and Swedish);
- expandable compendium of approaches to support workplace language learning;
- framework to support professional development, outlining practitioner roles and competences relating to different approaches to support work-related language learning;
- resource bank (including training materials, case studies, etc.), linked to the professional development framework, to support professional development in the field of work-related language learning.

Project workshop “A roadmap for schools to support the language(s) of schooling” (Graz, Austria, 15-16 November 2018): roadmap, promises practices database and Guide to be finalised for 2019
|
|
The workshop gathered 28 experts coming from 31 countries who worked closely with the project team in order to finalise the project outputs.
The project is developing a “roadmap” which is a digital tool that supports the schools in their reflection on the language(s) of schooling and in the implementation of a strategy they themselves have determined. To achieve this, a self-assessment tool will enable each stakeholder - head teacher, teachers, non-teaching staff, students and parents - to start reflecting upon the situation in their school, by assessing different thematic areas.

The 5 team members worked together with 11 non-linguistic subject teachers, coming from Armenia, Austria, Finland, France, Iceland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, who represented various school subjects, such as history, biology, geography, mathematics, chemistry, physical education, and social sciences. The participants gave feedback on the first versions of the tools that the team had developed for subject teachers. With the help of the tools, subject teachers should become more aware of the language component in their subject to be able to scaffold those students who struggle with the subject-specific language.

ECML project “Pro-Sign2 - Promoting excellence in sign language instruction”: presented during two major events in Serbia and Brazil
|
|

The Pro-Sign2/efsli Conference in Belgrade was a tremendous success with some 150 people from 39 countries who shared evidence-based practice around teaching, learning and assessing sign languages. Key themes were the European Language Portfolio, assessment, sign language pedagogy and technology, plans to develop a generic sign language teacher training curriculum, and sign language teacher competencies. The presentations proved innovative, inspiring and challenging, both for established programmes and experienced teachers as well as for new comers in the field.
The University of Belgrade plans to include Serbian Sign Language in their programme. This is an important step with the goal to enhance awareness of Serbian SL and human rights of sign language users in the Balkan region.

Materials development for online language courses

Language education in the Finnish National Core Curriculum
The article written by Karoliina Inha, Finnish National Agency for Education, provides insight into how the latest Finnish national core curricula and language education are inherently connected and how they complement each other. “Language education is a multifaceted whole comprising diverse but interrelated skills, which are all also connected to intercultural competency and, more generally, to global competency.”
Finland invests in early language learning
The current Finnish Government Programme entails 26 key projects, of which one is “New learning environments and digital materials to comprehensive schools”. The project’s objectives include, for example, modernising Finnish education in terms of pedagogy and the learning environment, improving learning results, and providing pupils with skills that respond to future needs.
The project divides into three themes. One of these is the government key project for languages, which aims to increase and diversify language teaching by way of regional experiments. The three main points of focus here are: integrating early language learning into Finnish education with a much wider scope than before, providing pupils with a wider language repertoire, and creating a welcoming and encouraging attitude towards foreign language learning.
International mobility in upper secondary education is declining
In 2017 Finnish students in upper secondary education completed fewer mobility periods than the previous year. Target countries in both VET and general upper secondary education were mainly in Europe. The EU Erasmus+ Programme is becoming more and more important as a source of funding for student mobility.

Border regions facing the migration phenomenon
|
|
According to a recent report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, migration remains a critical issue for all levels of governance in Council of Europe member states. It was against this background that the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities held a debate on “Border regions facing the migration phenomenon” on 6 November 2018.
The report adopted by the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities builds on previous Congress texts concerning the reception of refugees and integration of migrants to examine the potential benefits of cross-border co-operation among regions situated on the periphery of Europe or at the borders of countries within Europe. It argues for an “integrated approach”, adequately involving different levels of government, NGOs and partners in countries of origin and transit and underlines that all these stakeholders’ involvement and interconnectedness is crucial for developing effective integration policies.
