EU FUNDING
The European Union’s programmes for co-operation in the field
of education and vocational training include specific measures to promote
language teaching and learning.
The Lingua action of the Socrates programme enables
institutions from different countries to work together to develop innovative
language-learning materials which fill gaps in the existing market. It also
supports projects that encourage language learning by making people aware of
the advantages to be gained, by providing information on courses available
or by improving access to resources.
Within the Comenius action of the same programme, millions of
Euros are invested each year in language exchange visits between schools in
different countries, in teacher-training courses and in providing language
assistants for schools and adult education centres.
The Leonardo da Vinci vocational training programme provides
funds for multinational projects to develop new methods and materials for
teaching languages and for assessing the language needs of business.
An Action Plan for language learning and linguistic diversity
was approved by the Commission in July 2003. It aims to promote a more
effective use of the existing programmes (in particular Socrates and
Leonardo da Vinci) to underpin a series of specific measures. It sets a
framework for Community action that is designed to complement and support
action taken by Member States.
