LINGUA: Promotion of language teaching and learning

 The Lingua Action is designed to:

• encourage and support linguistic diversity throughout the Union;
• contribute to an improvement in the quality of language teaching and learning;
• promote access to lifelong language learning opportunities appropriate to each individual’s needs.

The action is divided into two parts, corresponding to different sub-objectives.

Lingua 1 is intended to: 

• raise citizens’ awareness of the Union’s multilingual wealth, encourage people to learn languages throughout their lifetime, and improve access to foreign language learning resources across Europe;
• develop and disseminate innovative techniques and good practices in language teaching.

Lingua 2 aims to:

• ensure that a sufficiently wide range of language learning tools is available to language learners.

See the Guidelines for Applicants, Annual Call for Proposals and application forms.
