Multilingualism
Work Group 2
Topics discussed:
• Institutional language policy & problems
• Student exchanges
• Internationalisation at home
• Early language training – „immersion classes”
• Examples from: BE, ES , GR, IT, LT, PL, UK
Keywords:
• attitudes
• motivation
Problems:
• Top-down language policy vs. bottom-up stimulation of students’ interests
• Dominant role of English
• „Open” and „closed” people/communities
• Language preparation for exchanges– home institution (preferred)– host institution (if no possibilities at home
institution)
Recommendations
• Necessity of institutional language policy– To work on attitudes– Involvement of students associations,
incoming mobility students…– To get faculty members on our side– Intelligent and accessible information
• Money important
• To re-think Bologna process
